FOSTER CITY, CA – February 12, 2004 – WebCohort, Inc., the leader in web application security, today announced that it has changed its name to Imperva, Inc.

Imperva was founded by a team of experienced penetration testers in 2000 to protect web applications from the most advanced hackers. The company brought its first product, SecureSphere™, to market in 2002 with a completely new architectural approach – called Correlated Attack Validation – to prevent with accuracy and transparency any intrusion of the web application.

Recent data published by Imperva’s Application Defense Center highlights the fact that applications are uniformly vulnerable to attacks on custom code and platform applications alike. Yet regulations – such as HIPAA, California Senate Bill 1386 and Graham-Leach-Bliley are increasingly making protection against application intrusions non-negotiable.

“Since the company began, it has been focused on protecting what we call the Application Sphere.” according to Shlomo Kramer, CEO and co-founder. “As Imperva our focus hasn’t changed, but our name reflects the fact that we bring total protection to the Application Sphere – ranging from a deep packet inspection capability to protect against known intrusions and worms to Correlated Attack Validation to protect against unknown, targeted attacks. We represent the only solution that can accurately make the Application Sphere impervious to all types of attacks.”
