Imperva API Security
Imperva API Security from Imperva focuses on API discovery and risk assessment. It is API security technology used for understanding and protecting application interfaces. Capabilities - API inventory and discovery: Identifies APIs so teams can establish which interfaces are included in their security review. - API behavior analysis: Uses observed API behavior to investigate activity that differs from expected usage. - API posture assessment: Highlights API configuration or exposure issues for further assessment. - Runtime API attack protection: Protects or inspects live API traffic according to the product's enforcement model. - API authentication risk assessment: Brings authentication and authorization behavior into the API security review. - OWASP API risk coverage: Supports evaluating the API risk classes described in the vendor's documentation. - Shadow API visibility: Finds undocumented API endpoints that can otherwise escape routine security review. Use and operational context Imperva API Security is relevant to security teams responsible for externally or internally exposed APIs when the requirement centers on understanding and protecting application interfaces. Scope the evaluation around the functions listed above and the assets or workflows that need coverage. A useful trial should use representative business conditions so the team can assess the quality of the results and the effort needed to act on them. Deployment and evaluation Deployment: Self-managed / on-premises option documented by the vendor. Before adoption, review API discovery coverage, traffic collection, authentication context and the enforcement model for live applications. Assign an owner for administration, document required permissions and identify how the product or service will fit the existing operating process. Buyer questions - What is the main purpose? Imperva API Security focuses on understanding and protecting application interfaces. - What should a proof of concept establish? Test the listed capabilities against representative assets and workflows, record useful results and unresolved gaps, and confirm who handles follow-up work. - What should be confirmed before purchase? Ask the vendor which edition or service scope includes the required features, which dependencies must be configured and what licensing or contract terms apply. Pricing has not been verified for this catalog.
Imperva Data Security
Imperva Data Security from Imperva focuses on database monitoring and data risk protection. It is data security technology used for understanding sensitive information and controlling its exposure. Capabilities - Sensitive data discovery: Finds protected information so teams can establish where it is stored or used. - Data classification: Organizes data using the classification methods described by the product. - Data security posture assessment: Assesses sensitive-data exposure and the protection state of the connected environment. - Data protection policy management: Gives teams a way to administer data protection rules across the product's supported scope. Use and operational context Imperva Data Security is relevant to teams responsible for protecting business data when the requirement centers on understanding sensitive information and controlling its exposure. Scope the evaluation around the functions listed above and the assets or workflows that need coverage. A useful trial should use representative business conditions so the team can assess the quality of the results and the effort needed to act on them. Deployment and evaluation Before adoption, review connected repositories, classification accuracy, access findings and the handling of approved data movement. Assign an owner for administration, document required permissions and identify how the product or service will fit the existing operating process. Buyer questions - What is the main purpose? Imperva Data Security focuses on understanding sensitive information and controlling its exposure. - What should a proof of concept establish? Test the listed capabilities against representative assets and workflows, record useful results and unresolved gaps, and confirm who handles follow-up work. - What should be confirmed before purchase? Ask the vendor which edition or service scope includes the required features, which dependencies must be configured and what licensing or contract terms apply.

Imperva DDoS Protection
Imperva DDoS Protection from Imperva focuses on network and application attack mitigation. It is DDoS mitigation technology or service used for protecting availability during malicious traffic floods. Capabilities - DDoS attack detection: Identifies traffic associated with distributed denial-of-service activity. - Traffic scrubbing: Uses the documented filtering infrastructure to separate attack traffic from traffic that should be served. - Network-layer protection: Addresses the network-layer attack scope stated by the vendor. - Attack visibility and reporting: Provides information for assessing observed attack traffic and mitigation activity. - Mitigation orchestration: Supports applying the mitigation approach documented for the deployment. Use and operational context Imperva DDoS Protection is relevant to organizations safeguarding network or application availability when the requirement centers on protecting availability during malicious traffic floods. Scope the evaluation around the functions listed above and the assets or workflows that need coverage. A useful trial should use representative business conditions so the team can assess the quality of the results and the effort needed to act on them. Deployment and evaluation Before adoption, review traffic routing, attack coverage, mitigation activation and communication arrangements during an attack. Assign an owner for administration, document required permissions and identify how the product or service will fit the existing operating process. Buyer questions - What is the main purpose? Imperva DDoS Protection focuses on protecting availability during malicious traffic floods. - What should a proof of concept establish? Test the listed capabilities against representative assets and workflows, record useful results and unresolved gaps, and confirm who handles follow-up work. - What should be confirmed before purchase?
