Imperva is a cybersecurity provider that helps organizations secure their data and all paths.

Web application attacks prevent important transactions and steal sensitive data. Imperva Web Application Firewall (WAF) stops these attacks with near-zero false positives and a global SOC to ensure organization is protected from the latest attacks minutes after they are discovered in the wild. False positives forces a choice between blocking legitimate traffic or staying in monitor mode forever.

Recently, Imperva announced that its award-winning Imperva Data Security Fabric now provides data-centric protection and compliance for enterprise data pools built on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Many security teams have resources and domain expertise gaps to ensure their data lake meets organizational compliance and security policies. These gaps might force organizations to choose between limiting the data they store in a data lake and putting themselves at risk of a data breach. Imperva Data Security Fabric can be deployed directly in any AWS Region using pre-built AWS CloudFormation templates. Imperva DSF will start discovering and monitoring data lakes once deployed. More than 400 pre-set vulnerability assessment tests are available for cloud databases on AWS.

"AWS allows organizations to quickly and securely build solutions that help them to reach new markets and deliver new services to end users," says Dan Neault, SVP and GM, Data Security, Imperva. "Imperva Data Security Fabric gives organizations building data lakes on AWS a streamlined experience for securing data and confidence that their data lakes comply," he added.

Imperva now has a customer base of 6200 across 150 countries worldwide, including seven of the top ten commercial banks and 34% of the fortune 100 companies. It has 1300 plus employees in 17 locations and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.
