Imperva DSF's multicloud data security difference

Broadest coverage

Provides broadest coverage across multicloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments

Protection for modern digital infrastructure

Legacy security tools lack the visibility and control needed to protect modern data store infrastructure. The massive diversity of technology options for digital infrastructure has brought more security challenges across an expanding attack surface. The cloud enables DevOps teams to move quickly, yet often this flexibility means data stores are managed by developers who can bypass IT operations and security processes.

Imperva DSF automatically safeguards on-premises data stores while simultaneously extending data security to cloud-native Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) technologies found in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud — as well as popular NoSQL vendors such as Snowflake, DataStax, Cloudera, and many more — defending your organization as you expand cloud operations.

Protect any data source

Protects any data sources and types, across structured, semi-structured, & unstructured

Mass adoption of the Internet and the digitization of the economy since 2010 has led to an explosion of heterogeneous data

The amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed in the world grew from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010 to 59 zettabytes in 2020. By 2025, IDC predicts that the global datasphere will grow to 175 zettabytes.

Gone are the days of centralized, monolithic applications. Today we have multitudes of users constantly creating data through the web and mobile apps. A single organization may have data stored across hundreds of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data stores spanning on-premises data centers and multiple cloud service providers.

Imperva DSF can protect any data store that your organization utilizes as you continue your cloud expansion to keep pace with modern business.

Ecosystem integration

Integrates with ecosystem technologies for incident context and additional data capabilities

Leverage your existing security investments as you expand to a multicloud data store environment

There are multiple scenarios where you may be forced to use multiple data security solutions to protect your data. For example, you may have a SIEM solution that monitors your on-premises data stores, but it does not support the cloud-native data stores you are using in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. The same situation may present itself with your data activity monitoring (DAM), identity management, encryption, or data masking solutions.

Imperva DSF integrates with your existing data security investments, regardless of their location, providing total visibility and allowing you to create unified data security policies that span your entire data estate.

Unified visibility

Unified visibility, control, automation, & insights via a single data service or dashboard

Apply data security and compliance controls while gaining visibility of all different data types (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) residing in different environments (on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and multicloud)

Imperva Data Security Fabric is a unified Data Security platform that brings new and existing data security controls together to fill the gaps created by data stores moving to cloud, hybrid, and multicloud environments. By providing full visibility into data activity across all data stores, it is easier for data security, compliance, governance, and privacy teams to manage the lifecycle around sensitive and business-critical data, no matter where it resides. The key benefit of this unified, data-centric approach is that it enables these teams to understand and mitigate risky data access events before they turn into a data breach.

Cloud flexibility comes with a “shared responsibility model” which may result in security gaps

Cloud services provide speed, agility and a secure infrastructure, but the security of your data remains your job in a shared responsibility model.

95% of cloud security failures are believed to be the customer's fault

Many security and compliance teams lack the tools and resources to keep up with the speed of change in cloud database environments.

92% of IT and security pros report cloud security risk readiness gaps

Expand data security to the cloud with Imperva Data Security Fabric

Data security in the cloud has grown beyond compliance monitoring and must be a part of every critical IT decision.

Eliminate the complexity of addressing each environment you store data in differently. Imperva DSF normalizes on-premises, in-cloud, and even multi-cloud data activity into a single platform. Imperva DSF leverages a modern and cloud-native agentless architecture to deliver uniform and comprehensive control over all data-centric workloads. Even existing agent-based Data Activity Monitoring events can be ingested into Imperva DSF so you can expand current policies to new platforms without a massive integration project.

Imperva Data Security Fabric provides the broadest coverage across multicloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments

With Imperva DSF you can standardize data security controls across large and complex enterprise data environments, so you have full visibility and centralized command of what is happening across all of your file stores and data assets, on-premises, in the hybrid cloud, and across multiple clouds.

Imperva's flexible architecture supports a broad range of data repositories, from legacy mainframe systems to modern big data systems and cloud-managed database services, and everything in between. Imperva DSF enables you to migrate your data to the cloud without creating compliance and security gaps – ensuring a safe digital transformation.

Eliminate hybrid, multicloud complexity

A unified data security platform handles hybrid and multicloud data security and compliance challenges and ensures uniform policy enforcement.

Distill billions of events into action alerts

Security teams can focus on what’s important when they have the right tools to discover and identify unauthorized data access across a broad, fragmented data repository ecosystem.

Scale data management with centralized controls

By centralizing data security and compliance controls for data repositories, the time, effort, and expertise required to maintain effective data security management is significantly reduced.

Orchestrated and automated data security processes

By automating data security processes, such as data management and privileged user reconciliation, organizations can ensure that urgent data security remediation responses happen in a timely manner.

Key capabilities that enable data security at scale

Data Discovery & Classification

Databases, unstructured file repositories, and cloud applications tend to grow and expand. Many organizations cannot even catalog their digital assets in the cloud. Thus, discovering all DBaaS instances and unstructured data files with sensitive information and classifying them for their content becomes important, and is required for most privacy regulations.

Data Activity Monitoring

Data activity monitoring helps organizations demonstrate compliance by monitoring and auditing data access and usage within the cloud environment. It enables organizations to track and report on data activities to meet regulatory obligations. Imperva DSF Data Activity Monitoring continuously monitors and analyzes all database activity automatically, including local privileged user access and service accounts – in real time – to ensure regulatory compliance mandates are met.

Data Risk Analytics

Imperva DSF Data Risk Analytics helps identify potential security threats and malicious activities within the cloud environment. These capabilities, which are not inherent to cloud-native data store services, allow organizations to detect unauthorized access attempts, suspicious data transfers, and other abnormal behavior that may indicate a security breach or data compromise.

How to create a Data Security strategy when moving workloads to the Cloud

How do you build a data security strategy that works in cloud-based environments and avoid building a “business blocker” reputation in the process? This whitepaper explores the data security challenges that every enterprise confronts when moving workloads to the cloud. You’ll get insight into the fundamental differences and complexities that cloud platforms bring to the data security landscape. You’ll learn how and why the benefits that moving workflows to the cloud offer are also the reasons why traditional database monitoring and reporting solutions are not viable in cloud environments.

We’ll explore the “value imbalance” that has been created by the rising cost of traditional database monitoring tools and explain why addressing that imbalance today is critical to the future of data security, both in the cloud and on-premise.
