ShareTransparent Inspection
Maintaining application and database performance and uptime are two absolute requirements for any data security solution. Jeopardizing availability, degrading throughput, or requiring painful network reconfiguration is unacceptable. Transparent Inspection, invented by Imperva, provides true, application layer security transparently without needing to terminate or proxy connections, impediments of other legacy technologies. This ground-breaking technology delivers multi-Gigabit performance, sub-millisecond latency, and high availability options without requiring network changes, meeting even the most demanding data center requirements.
High Performance, Low Latency
Because of its Transparent Inspection architecture, SecureSphere delivers multi-Gigabit throughput and processes tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining sub-millisecond packet latency. A single SecureSphere gateway is sufficient for many customers and SecureSphere can scale to meet the requirements of the largest enterprises by deploying multiple gateways managed from a single unified management server.
Flexible Deployment
The Transparent Inspection engine intercepts packets at Layer 2 and reconstructs the Web and SQL transactions without needing to terminate connections. This architecture allows SecureSphere to support the following deployment options:
- Transparent Layer 2 Bridge
- Layer 3 Network Router
- Non-Inline Monitor
- Reverse Proxy
- Transparent Proxy
Because of this flexibility, deployment of SecureSphere requires no changes to the existing network architecture, including network routers, load balancers, and servers.
No Changes to Application or Database Infrastructure
Since network traffic passes through SecureSphere without modification SecureSphere is transparent to the end users and to the application and database servers. This means SecureSphere easily drops into any enterprise's data centers with no changes to the data center's carefully optimized applications and databases. Leveraging Imperva’s Transparent Inspection technology, SecureSphere provides maximum data security with minimal disruption.
