Imperva Redefines Web Application Security with Powerful Fraud Prevention and Bot Protection
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Helps businesses stop malware-driven fraud, block bots and automated attacks and
control access by geographic location
Redwood Shores, CA - November 1, 2011 - Imperva, a pioneer and a leader of a new
category of data security solutions for high-value business data in the data
center, announced today the availability of SecureSphere 9.0 and introduced
ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention Services. With ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention,
Imperva has defined a new Web security architecture that not only encompasses
Web applications, Web server infrastructure and application data in databases,
but also extends to Web application users.
Fraud Prevention
ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention empowers organizations to quickly and easily
mitigate malware-driven fraud. ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention integrates with
Trusteer Pinpoint, a transparent solution that detects client devices infected
with malware. The new ThreatRadar service for the SecureSphere Web Application
Firewall:
* Helps businesses reduce fraud mitigation costs and customer turnover, and
satisfy regulatory requirements such as FFIEC compliance
* Accelerates time-to-security by adding fraud detection without requiring Web
application changes
* Enhances security efficacy by supporting correlation of fraud detection with
Web application firewall policies
* Decouples fraud prevention from Web application business logic; adjusts
fraud policies and actions from the SecureSphere Web user interface
* Provides detailed security alerts and graphical reports that allow fraud
analysts to investigate suspicious activity
"Organizations with high-risk applications and sensitive customer data must look
for vendors and technology that can fend off increasingly sophisticated and
unpredictable attacks," explained Avivah Litan, Gartner VP Distinguished
Analyst.
"The marriage of Web application firewalls with advanced fraud prevention is an
important step towards increasing the integrity of online transactions," said
Mickey Boodaei, CEO of Trusteer. "As attack sophistication increases, we believe
that security teams will need the ability to detect and correlate malware
activity with Web application traffic to bolster their defenses, and that's
where Trusteer's partnership with Imperva will play a significant role."
Bot and Automation Protection
With version 9.0 of the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall, Imperva has
introduced new defenses that help stop bots and automated attacks. SecureSphere
anti-automation technology differentiates between bots and legitimate users,
making it easy to block undesirable activity. Advanced application DDoS policies
use innovative detection techniques to stop Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
attacks, and customizable DDoS policy templates simplify administration.
Finally, new site scraping policies help safeguard intellectual property and
thwart competitive espionage.
IP Geolocation
Imperva has also extended ThreatRadar Reputation Services to include IP
geolocation. With up-to-date IP information regarding geolocation, Imperva
customers can block unauthorized activity by geographic location. Geolocation
also helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, such as U.S. export
controls EAR and OFAC, by restricting access from embargoed countries.
Geolocation is included as part of ThreatRadar Reputation Services.
"Cyber criminals are combining fraud with automation," said Amichai Shulman, CTO
of Imperva. "And thanks to the global nature of the internet, attacks come from
everywhere. By combining anti-fraud and anti-automation with blacklisting by
geo-location, we believe security teams have a powerful capability to increase
efficiencies of doing business online."
SecureSphere 9.0 will be available in late 2011. For more information about
