Perisher Resort Streamlines Data Security and PCI Compliance with Imperva
Incapsula
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., August 14, 2013 - Imperva, Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), a pioneer
and leader of a new category of business security solutions for critical
applications and high-value business data in the data center, today announced
that Perisher Resort has implemented its Imperva Incapsula cloud-based Web
application firewall (WAF) service.
The transparent website security of Imperva Incapsula WAF will assist Perisher
Resort by enhancing enterprise data security for multiple platforms and business
units, and proactively meeting its Payment Card Industry (PCI) 6.6 mandatory
compliance requirements.
Perisher Resort is responsible for over 100 ski slopes across four unique resort
areas including Perisher Valley, Guthega, Blue Cow, and Smiggin Holes, plus the
key business units of Skitube alpine railway, retail and food and beverage
facilities, guest accommodation, Snowsports School, and equipment hire outlets.
During peak season its network activity increases by up to 90 percent with an
increase in users, devices, and network traffic as vacationers monitor webcams
for up-to-the-minute snow conditions.
After an automated spam bot email attack subjected the resort to thousands of
daily emails from unknown sources for a one week period, Perisher's IT team
decided to select a new security solution, one that provides greater awareness
and visibility of its network traffic.
"Our commercial operations are extensive, and in peak season trading conditions
we need to ensure that the influx to our network is both protected and also
meets PCI compliance requirements," said Wayne Grixti, Senior Network and
Systems Administrator, Perisher.
"Following a competitive tender review and pilot program, we selected Imperva
Incapsula WAF ahead of competitive offerings for its minimal management overhead
and ability to work in our existing environment with no impact on network
speeds. Imperva Incapsula has addressed the issue of multiple platforms in a
highly demanding environment painlessly. We strongly believe that Imperva
Incapsula WAF has helped us reduce our overall security risk and proactively
meet our PCI 6.6 compliance reporting in a highly cost-effective manner," Grixti
said.
With Imperva Incapsula WAF, the resort's websites and applications are better
protected against malicious automated attacks, such as cross-site scripting
(XSS) and SQL Injection (SQLi), and previously unknown threats. Imperva
Incapsula WAF is now monitoring traffic and performance more effectively across
the multiple e-commerce sites, further reducing network management time for the
IT team. Caching techniques of the Imperva Incapsula WAF have resulted in
additional cost savings with the resort's hosting provider by reducing website
bandwidth usage and lowering web server utilization.
Imperva Incapsula automatically generates PCI compliance reports for the resort,
assisting IT and management teams in identifying areas of compliance prior to
bank audits without the need for costly consulting engagements.
Stree Naidu, Vice President APAC Sales at Imperva, commented that the solution
is ideally suited for Perisher Resort, saying, "Imperva Incapsula's flexible
deployment and ease of use make it a practical and highly secure solution to
implement."
