SecureSphere to Provide Unified Security Solution for Automated Protection Against Web Application Attack, Database Breach and Worm Infection
FOSTER CITY, CA – May 18, 2005 – Imperva, Inc., the developer of the world’s first Dynamic Profiling Firewall, today announced that FFF Enterprises Inc., the nation’s largest plasma products distributor, is using the SecureSphere Dynamic Profiling Firewall to secure FFF’s applications and databases from both internal and external threats. The solution enhances FFF’s ability to protect the private information of its customers and partners, and is a key component of FFF’s ongoing commitment to compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy regulations.
Imperva is helping FFF to protect applications and databases used by both customers and business partners as FFF pursues its commitment to accelerating the availability of lifesaving products and services, from innovation to delivery, with dedication to integrity, safety and cost containment. SecureSphere is securing FFF’s sensitive information, custom business applications, and critical servers, by blocking attacks and other unauthorized activity.
“Securing the private information of our customers and partners is of utmost importance to FFF. SecureSphere is an essential part of proactively satisfying HIPAA privacy regulations,” said Bob Coates, VP of Technology for FFF Enterprises. ”We rely on SecureSphere to protect our data from direct attacks against our databases or indirect attacks through our web applications.”
The SecureSphere Dynamic Profiling Firewall secures an enterprise’s data centers by protecting against the key threats facing enterprise applications and databases, including: identity theft, data theft, phishing, malicious robots, worms, denial of service, and SQL injection.
SecureSphere delivers low deployment and ongoing operational costs because SecureSphere deployment requires no changes to the data center’s existing infrastructure and SecureSphere operations requires no on-going manual tuning. This is due to Imperva’s Dynamic Profiling technology that automatically profiles the structure and dynamics of applications and databases by analyzing traffic in the production environment. This profile is used to identify and block attacks while also recognizing valid application changes and automatically incorporating them into the profile.
“Imperva’s healthcare industry customers are acutely aware of the need to proactively secure patient and partner information.” said Alan Norquist vice president of marketing and business development for Imperva. “With SecureSphere, Imperva provides a unified solution that secures the data center by protecting proprietary information, custom business applications, and critical servers from both external and internal attack.”
