Unified visibility, control, automation, and insights across the entire data estate

Imperva Data Security Fabric delivers comprehensive and centralized management through a single data service or dashboard

Imperva Data Security Fabric (DSF) provides you with a holistic view of your total data environment

Effectively manage, monitor, and protect all of your data across different sources, applications, and cloud environments

Imperva DSF delivers centralized management through a single data service or dashboard for supervising and monitoring your data security controls. By unifying visibility of your entire data estate, Imperva DSF allows you to configure and manage security policies, view alerts and incidents, and track the status of data protection measures for the whole organization—for any data source and type—across on-premises, cloud, multicloud, and hybrid-cloud environments.

  • Protect data by understanding and controlling access by users, processes, and apps within a single service view
  • Gain full enterprise visibility of multicloud and hybrid threats, risk, and activity across the entire data environment
  • Detect anomalous and bad behavior with machine learning algorithms

Discover, classify, and view all of your data

Imperva DSF Discovery and Classification automatically discovers sensitive data in databases, file shares, and other data stores—on-premises, in the cloud, across multiple clouds, or in hybrid environments. In the process it automatically classifies the data so you can put the right risk mitigation mechanisms in place.

Monitor data access and activity in real-time

Imperva DSF Data Activity Monitoring provides continuous monitoring to capture and analyze all data store activity from both application and privileged user accounts, providing detailed audit trails that show who accesses what data, when, and what was done to the data.

Receive alerts and notifications immediately

Imperva Data Risk Analytics (DRA) identifies abnormal user behavior that can lead to bad practices, hostile intrusions, and data compromise. Imperva DRA translates complex technical events into plain language that IT operations teams and security staff members can immediately understand.

Live audit data access and reporting

With Impera DSF, years worth of retained records are instantly accessible for detailed search and investigation. Audit data is archived automatically, as time passes, but remains accessible in seconds for queries and reporting. Built-in interactive dashboards and on-demand Kibana visualization tools deliver easy to understand results.

Data activity monitoring and predictive data risk analytics

Imperva DSF monitors and continuously analyzes all data access activity, by both database user accounts and privileged user accounts, and can automatically determine if a data access event violates a compliance or security policy. In addition, Imperva DSF utilizes machine learning and unique detection techniques developed by Imperva Labs to spot known attack exploits or suspicious activity even if the behavior attempts to be evasive.

Imperva data risk analytics leverage Imperva discovery and classification features to always consider the risk context of data access, filter out false positive noise produced by other anomaly-based behavioral analytics, and only report issues involving sensitive data or when a critical event has happened.
