FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 1, 2006 – Imperva™, the leader in data security for the data center, today announced that it was named a company watch in 2006 by Red Herring magazine. Imperva joins nine other security vendors on the exclusive list of 10 Private Companies to Watch published annually by this venerable business publication.
