SecureSphere 9.5 Automates Profile Optimization to Minimize Complexity of
Emerging Web Application Frameworks
Redwood Shores, Calif., May 17, 2012 - Imperva, Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), a pioneer
and leader of a new category of data security solutions for high-value business
data in the data center, today announced that the SecureSphere 9.5 Web
Application Firewall has enhanced Dynamic Profiling with augmented support for
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Dynamic Profiling simplifies the management
of dynamic and complex Web application frameworks with a finely-tuned profiling
to help identify aberrant behavior that often indicates abuse.
The emergence of Web 2.0 has resulted in widespread adoption of complex Web
application frameworks, which can be difficult to efficiently secure. Imperva's
patented Dynamic Profiling capability helps to improve security accuracy by
recognizing unusual Web requests and by validating input. Dynamic Profiling also
can be used to detect attacks that evade by signature-based protection,
including parameter tampering and cookie injection. With this release, the
Dynamic Profiling has been updated with experience across numerous enterprises,
and is now optimized for contemporary methods of application deployments.
"A great challenge that IT departments face today is staying abreast with the
rapid pace of relevant new Web application technologies and understanding how
they fit into the enterprise security model," said Amichai Shulman, CTO,
Imperva. "With the latest version of SecureSphere, Imperva is supporting these
new application frameworks and automating management of modern, dynamic
applications, helping IT departments to stay ahead of this complexity."
SecureSphere Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects applications from security
threats by combining multiple security engines into a cohesive Web defense.
Certified by ICSA Labs, SecureSphere provides protection against the OWASP Top
Ten, including SQL Injection, XSS and CSRF, and it addresses PCI 6.6. New
SecureSphere 9.5 capabilities include:
Automated Profile Optimization - SecureSphere WAF can automatically detect and
suggest profile adjustments to accommodate dynamic, Web 2.0 and RESTful Web
applications without a need for manual trouble-shooting.
Streamlined Profile Management - SecureSphere simplifies the management of
thousands of Web pages by focusing on Web pages with form fields and parameters,
reducing the size of the application profile while still helping to secure the
entire Web application.
JSON Support - SecureSphere augments its JSON support with enhanced validation
of user input and identification of unusual application behavior to stop hackers
who abuse Web 2.0 applications.
SecureSphere version 9.5 is expected to be available in June 2012. For more
