Product and Solution Information, Press Releases, Announcements

When Imperva announced in 2018 it would acquire the application security solution provider Prevoty, a company I co-founded with Julien Bellanger, I knew it would be a win-win for our industry. Prevoty’s flagship product, Autonomous Application Protection, is the most mature, market-tested runtime application self-protection (RASP) solution (as proof, Prevoty was just named a Silver Winner in the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards). Together, Imperva and Prevoty are creating a consolidated, comprehensive platform for application and data security.

More importantly, this acquisition is a big win for our customers. The combination of Imperva and Autonomous Application Protection extends customers’ visibility into how applications behave and how users interact with sensitive information. With this expanded view across their business assets, customers will have deeper insights to understand and mitigate security risk at the edge, application, and database.

In parallel with product integrations, our teams of security innovators are coming together. I am delighted to join the Imperva team as CTO and to lead a highly accomplished group to radically transform the way our industry thinks about application and data security. In the coming horizon, we will boost data visibility throughout the stack, translate billions of data points into actionable insights, and intelligently automate responses that protect businesses. In fact, we just released two new features that deliver on those goals: Network Activity Protection and Weak Cryptography Protection. Learn more about these at Imperva.com and also in my interview with eWeek.

Network Activity Protection provides organizations with the ability to monitor and prevent unauthorized outbound network communications originating from within their applications, APIs, and microservices — a blind spot for organizations that are undergoing a digital transformation. Organizations now have a clear view into the various endpoints with which their applications communicate.

The new Weak Cryptography Protection feature offers the ability to monitor and protect against the use of specific weak hashing algorithms (including SHA-1, MD5) and cryptographic ciphers (including AES, 3DES/DES, RC4). Applications that leverage Autonomous Application Protection can now monitor and force compliant cryptographic practices.

Imperva is leading the world’s fight to keep data and applications safe from cyber criminals. Organizations that deploy Imperva will not have to choose between innovation and protecting their customers. The future of application and data security will be smarter,simpler, and we are leading the way there.
