ISACA leverages Imperva's SecureSphere WAF as a part of a comprehensive security strategy that delivers unprecedented prevention, mitigation and protection 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. We evaluated many solutions and Imperva was found to be the best fit for our particular needs."
Imperva SecureSphere is the market leading data security and compliance solution. SecureSphere protects sensitive data from hackers and malicious insiders. Imperva SecureSphere provides real-time protection against data breaches by hackers and malicious insiders. SecureSphere enables executives, risk officers, auditors and security professionals to mitigate the financial and reputation damage of data loss.
ISACA takes advantage of several key SecureSphere features including the ability to:
-Alert or block access requests that:
Deviate from normal application and data usage
Attempt to exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities
from malicious sources
Violate corporate policies
Are part of a sophisticated multi-stage attack
-Update defenses with research-driven intelligence on current threats and vulnerabilities
-Virtually patch application and database vulnerabilities to reduce the window of exposure and impact of ad-hoc fixes
