SecureSphere for SharePoint helps organizations protect sensitive data stored within SharePoint. It addresses the unique SharePoint security requirements of the platform’s file, Web and database elements, ensuring that users with legitimate business needs can access data and others cannot. SecureSphere enables SharePoint security, SharePoint administration, and IT operations professionals to improve data security, meet compliance mandates and streamline SharePoint permissions management.

SecureSphere for SharePoint provides multi-layered SharePoint security that includes a Web Application Firewall to protect against Web-based attacks, user rights management and activity monitoring to safeguard content such as files, folders and lists, and a Database Firewall to prevent unauthorized access to the Microsoft SQL database at the core of SharePoint.

Efficiently Achieve Business Need-To-Know Access

SecureSphere aggregates and consolidates user rights across SharePoint sites to provide visibility into effective SharePoint permissions. With SecureSphere for SharePoint, organizations can efficiently conduct rights reviews, eliminate excess rights, and identify dormant users, all of which help ensure access is based on business need-to-know.

Document Compliance and Investigate Access Activity

SecureSphere provides continuous monitoring and detailed auditing of all data access activity so organizations have a complete audit trail showing the “Who, What, When, Where, and How” of each data access. This enables security, compliance and SharePoint administrative staff to understand exactly who accessed, moved, changed or deleted data.

Enforce Business Rules in Real-Time

SecureSphere for SharePoint delivers a flexible policy framework that allows business to respond immediately when data access activity deviates from corporate policy. Alerts are generated within the SecureSphere console and can also drive external actions such as sending email or blocking access to data.

Determine How Best to Protect and Manage Data

SecureSphere helps identify data owners by providing visibility into the top users of SharePoint files, folders and lists. Owners understand the relevance of their data to the business and can therefore provide critical input on how data should be protected and managed.

Protect Against Web-Based Attacks

SharePoint is a Web-based system, subject to online attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. SecureSphere for SharePoint incorporates market-leading SecureSphere Web Application Firewall, which protects SharePoint from current and future Web security threats.

Prevent Tampering with SharePoint's Database

SharePoint stores all data – files, lists, and application data – within a Microsoft SQL database. SecureSphere for SharePoint incorporates market-leading SecureSphere Database Firewall to monitor all database access and ensure unauthorized access is prevented.

Identify Unused Data

SecureSphere helps alleviate the constant growth of SharePoint data by identifying data that is stored in SharePoint, but which no one is using. This allows organizations to archive or delete the data, which reduces management overhead and frees valuable storage space.

Simplify the Process of SharePoint Security

SecureSphere for SharePoint includes pre-packaged security policies based on the expertise of security researchers in the Imperva Application Defense Center (ADC). ADC Insights for SharePoint helps organizations quickly secure their SharePoint deployments.
