Data security provider, Imperva has won a contract to provide web application firewall (WAF) protection to ISACA. The global association for information systems security and governance professionals is to deploy Imperva’s SecureSphere WAF as a part of an overall security strategy to deliver prevention and mitigation for its on-demand platform.
“ISACA is committed to helping its constituents and the business community as a whole ensure they can have trust in, and derive value from, their information systems. As a result, Imperva is an essential component of our data security strategy,” said Manny Singh, ISACA IT director. “ISACA is a globally respected resource in the security industry so we must provide the best possible model for our constituents who live and breathe data security. Imperva helps us ensure the security of our sensitive data, which is a critical part of doing business every day.”
SecureSphere features include the ability to alert or block access requests that:
-deviate from normal application and data usage
-attempt to exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities
-opriginate from malicious sources
-violate corporate policies; and
-are part of a sophisticated multi-stage attack
It also updates defenses with research-driven intelligence on current threats and vulnerabilities and virtually patches application and database vulnerabilities to reduce the window of exposure and impact of ad-hoc fixes.
