Imperva launched SecureSphere 9.0
November 2011 by Marc Jacob
Imperva announced the availability of SecureSphere 9.0 and introduced ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention Services. With ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention, Imperva has defined a new Web security architecture that not only encompasses Web applications, Web server infrastructure and application data in databases, but also extends to Web application users.
Fraud Prevention
ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention empowers organizations to quickly and easily mitigate malware-driven fraud. ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention integrates with Trusteer Pinpoint, a transparent solution that detects client devices infected with malware. The new ThreatRadar service for the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall:
· Helps businesses reduce fraud mitigation costs and customer turnover, and satisfy regulatory requirements such as FFIEC compliance
· Accelerates time-to-security by adding fraud detection without requiring Web application changes
· Enhances security efficacy by supporting correlation of fraud detection with Web application firewall policies
· Decouples fraud prevention from Web application business logic; adjusts fraud policies and actions from the SecureSphere Web user interface
· Provides detailed security alerts and graphical reports that allow fraud analysts to investigate suspicious activity
Bot and Automation Protection
With version 9.0 of the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall, Imperva has introduced new defenses that help stop bots and automated attacks. SecureSphere anti-automation technology differentiates between bots and legitimate users, making it easy to block undesirable activity. Advanced application DDoS policies use innovative detection techniques to stop Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and customizable DDoS policy templates simplify administration. Finally, new site scraping policies help safeguard intellectual property and thwart competitive espionage.
IP Geolocation
Imperva has also extended ThreatRadar Reputation Services to include IP geolocation. With up-to-date IP information regarding geolocation, Imperva customers can block unauthorized activity by geographic location. Geolocation also helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, such as U.S. export controls EAR and OFAC, by restricting access from embargoed countries. Geolocation is included as part of ThreatRadar Reputation Services.
