We are excited to announce the launch of three new enterprise-grade features that will help our clients integrate Imperva protection solutions into existing enterprise workflows.
The first of these upgrades is a monitoring and notification feature that provides new visibility options for our infrastructure protection customers, who use information from Imperva in their incident response processes.
With this new feature our customers will benefit from real-time notifications about all types of DDoS attacks, regardless of protocol and service, enabling data-driven early response and mitigation.
Attack Monitoring
The Imperva external monitoring feature uses the NetFlow protocol to obtain information from your network environment.
Once configured, your router pushes data at regular intervals to the Imperva scrubbing servers. The scrubbers then thoroughly analyze it for signs of DDoS attacks, using the resultant data to populate your dashboard.
Notifications and Custom Escalation Paths
When Imperva determines that a monitored network environment is under attack, the system triggers a series of events to notify you that it’s time to activate our on-demand infrastructure protection service.
Customers can also customize their escalation paths to have Imperva auto-notify members on different teams, while also designating backup contact. Doing so ensures that all parties are coordinated in providing organization-wide response to an incoming DDoS threat.
Visibility That Goes Beyond Attack Traffic
Another important benefit to you is the ability of the new external monitoring feature to provide visibility into your network status — even when not under attack. Specifically, you can gain insights about:
- Traffic per IP range
- Traffic per attack type
- Traffic per service
- Top traffic metrics per:
- Source IP range
- Destination IP/range
- Service
- Attack type
One of Three Major Upgrades
This is but the first of three major enterprise service updates we’ll be announcing today. The other two are:
The theme of this coordinated service upgrade is about enabling you to use the Imperva system in new ways- and to do so from within your existing security solutions and workflows.
