Imperva Enhances U.S. Government Agencies Data Protection Efforts
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New SecureSphere Data Suite introduces IPv6 support, SharePoint-specific
security controls, and improved DISA STIG policy support
Redwood Shores, CA - December 7, 2011 - Imperva (NYSE: IMPV), 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 the SecureSphere Data
Security Suite 9.0 for U.S. Federal government agencies to safeguard their
sensitive data and introduced IPv6 support for web applications to help agencies
to comply with federal network requirements. With the total SecureSphere Data
Security Suite, Imperva helps government agencies meet the security guidelines
of the Defense Information System Agency's Security Technical Implementation
Guidelines (DISA STIG) and demonstrate compliance with NIST, FISMA and IRS 1075
information security guidelines.
"A security breach at the federal level can have severe consequences, whether
exposing the Personally Identifiable Information of thousands of citizens or the
disclosure of sensitive national security information," said Amichai Shulman,
CTO of Imperva. "The SecureSphere Data Security Suite helps government
organizations to comprehensively protect data in externally-facing web
applications, databases and file systems such as SharePoint. This suite also
makes it easier for government organizations to demonstrate that they are
complying with federal information security requirements from FISMA and NIST."
SecureSphere Web Application Firewall for IPv6
As Federal organizations are moving to upgrade external-facing servers and
services to support IPv6 by September 30, 2012, the SecureSphere Web Application
Firewall is designed to allow organizations to continue to protect these
applications during and after the transition. The SecureSphere Web Application
Firewall:
* Helps organizations to comply with government requirement to have all
external-facing servers and services operationally use native IPv6.
* Removes expansion constraints and simplifies network configuration
challenges imposed by the current IPv4 protocol.
* Supports the expansion of the government's use of web-based applications.
Discovery and Assessment Server
To assist Federal organizations to validate their databases against the security
guidelines of the DISA STIG, the latest SecureSphere Discovery and Assessment
Server delivers improved assessment test filtering and STIG category display.
This enhanced filtering and assessment helps organizations to ensure the secure
installation and configuration of government IT systems, and maintain the
integrity of government data.
SecureSphere for SharePoint
Today, government is thebiggest user of SharePoint with more than 300 Federal,
state and country websites built on the SharePoint platform. With the wide use
of Microsoft SharePoint solutions, government organizations are challenged with
protecting SharePoint data from internal and external threats. SecureSphere for
SharePoint addresses the unique security requirements of SharePoint's file, web
and database elements to limit access to users with legitimate business needs
can access data.
Compliance with FISMA and NIST security guidelines
With the full SecureSphere Data Security Suite, Federal organizations can
implement policies and procedures to cost-effectively reduce information
security risks. SecureSphere provides pre-defined policies and automated
reporting and analysis tools for demonstrating compliance with FISMA and NIST
guidelines, including NIST SP 800-53 and NIST SP 800-137.
In addition, in order to demonstrate that the SecureSphere Data Security Suite
meets the high reliability and quality standards of the US Federal government,
the SecureSphere Data Security Suite is undergoing an independent evaluation for
an EAL2 certification under the Common Criteria for Information Technology
Evaluation Framework. Certification is expected in 2012.
