ISACA Selects Imperva’s Web Application Firewall
January 2011 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
ISACA selected Imperva’s web application firewall (WAF) to protect ISACA’s web applications and continue to raise the bar for data security. ISACA leverages Imperva’s SecureSphere WAF as a part of a comprehensive security strategy that delivers unprecedented prevention, mitigation and protection for its on-demand platform.
SecureSphere protects sensitive data from hackers and malicious insiders. SecureSphere enables executives, risk officers, auditors and security professionals to mitigate the financial and reputation damage of data loss.
ISACA takes advantage of several key SecureSphere features including the ability to:
– Alert or block access requests that:
– Deviate from normal application and data usage
– Attempt to exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities
– Originate from malicious sources
– Violate corporate policies
– Are part of a sophisticated multi-stage attack
– Update defenses with research-driven intelligence on current threats and vulnerabilities
– Virtually patch application and database vulnerabilities to reduce the window of exposure and impact of ad-hoc fixes
