Burlington, MA & Redwood Shores, CA – June 29, 2009 – ClearPoint Metrics and Imperva Corporation today announced a collaborative effort to deliver strategic intelligence on organizations data security and compliance initiatives. The partnership will integrate Imperva’s SecureSphere DataSecurity Suite with ClearPoint Metrics’ Security Performance Manager™ creating a new class of security performance and risk metrics that will provide visibility into the state, quality and effectiveness of data security investments for chief information security officers, auditors as well as business managers concerned about security.

ClearPoint’s Security Performance Manager will leverage information from Imperva’s suite to deliver intelligence in the form of performance metrics to assess the business impact and effectiveness of key information security initiatives.

The award-winning SecureSphere delivers full activity monitoring from the database to the surrounding application and is recognized for its overall ease of management and deployment.
