Gartner has named Imperva as a Leader in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls (WAF) — for the fifth year in a row!
Our combination of on-premises appliances, cloud WAF, shared threat intelligence and flexible licensing once again cement us as the best choice for companies to protect their websites and applications.
Having recently added attack analytics and role-based administration capabilities to our offering, Imperva offers flexible deployment options to maintain full protection as application environments continue to shift.
(Also, the emerging discipline of Infonomics provides business leaders a way to understand and value their information and create security policies that make fiscal sense. Download the Gartner report.)
Web Application Attacks a Leading Cause of Data Breaches
According to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), web application attacks once again rank as the leading cause of data breaches. Out of more than 2,216 data breaches this year so far, 48% resulted from hacks, with denial of service (DoS) attacks taking the top spot.
While the numbers sure help us understand the scale of attacks, the DBIR adds that “the focus should be less on the number of incidents and more on realizing that the degree of certainty that they will occur is almost in the same class as death and taxes.”
Your Apps Are Safer in Our Corner
As enterprises move applications to private and public cloud infrastructures, it becomes more important to adopt solutions that can be adapted to any cloud provider or any on-premises deployment. The Imperva WAF product line does exactly that.
