FOSTER CITY, Calif. – Jan. 4, 2006 – Imperva™, the leader in data security for the data center, today announced that it posted record sales in 2005 as market demand for its Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Database Security Gateway exploded in response to the rise in organized criminal attacks on corporate data repositories. The company increased sales by 300 percent year-over-year and added 60 new customers to emerge as the market leader in the WAF segment. Imperva customers include FFF Enterprises, Korea Life, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, and the Government of Israel.
