Database Gateway Recognized for Ability to Link Every Database Action to Responsible User Regardless of Application

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Dec. 19, 2006 – Imperva®, the global leader in data security and compliance solutions for the data center, today announced that its SecureSphere Database Security Gateway was named to the “Future Now List”, the first annual ranking of the 25 Best Security Innovations by Financial IT Security magazine. SecureSphere is profiled in the December issue of the publication. A courtesy copy of the article can be viewed online at www.imperva.com/company/awards.html.

Products were selected by the magazine’s editors for their technological sophistication and demonstrated ability to dramatically improve an enterprise’s ability to secure its data and devices going forward, while changing the way businesses manage information, internally and externally.

“Imperva’s SecureSphere Database Security Gateway takes tracking to the next level by identifying the actual web user for every database transaction whether that user is an employee, a partner or a customer,” said Financial IT Security’s Michael Sisk. “This granular view allows financial services companies to better secure their transaction data, document compliance with regulatory requirements, and help auditors assess how well the institution is protecting its data.”

“Although data security and regulatory compliance requirements are a major concern across all industries, financial institutions are measured against a much higher standard,” said Shlomo Kramer, founder and CEO of Imperva. “Being recognized as one of the 25 Best Security Innovations of 2007 for the very demanding financial sector is both an honor and tribute to the unique ability of SecureSphere to seal a gaping hole in compliance auditing.”
