Imperva Named Best Data Security/Loss Management Solution by the 2014 Government Security News Homeland Security Awards Program

Imperva SecureSphere Data Security Solutions Protect the Databases, File Servers and Web Applications at the Heart of Critical Government IT Infrastructure and Operations

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., December 23, 2014 – Imperva Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), pioneering the third pillar of enterprise security with a new layer of protection designed specifically for physical and virtual data centers, today announced that it has been selected as the Winner in the 2014 Government Security News (GSN) Homeland Security Awards Program in the category of Best Data Security/Loss Management Solution.  The prestigious GSN Awards Program honors the most outstanding technologies and innovations of homeland security solutions providers, as well as the most notable programs, projects and initiatives of government agencies at federal, state, county and municipal levels.

With physical and cyber security at risk on both an individual and nation-wide scale, Federal organizations are challenged to protect their IT infrastructure and operations from cyber-attack. To address that challenge, the Imperva SecureSphere Data Security solutions recognized by this award are designed to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data, as well as to manage access rights and mitigate the risk of data-centric attacks aimed at applications, files and databases. SecureSphere establishes a repeatable data risk management process and provides a fast and cost effective route to regulatory compliance, addressing many of the controls required by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), as well as by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense (DoD).

“It’s a changing and dangerous world,” said GSN CEO Adrian Courtenay, “but the winning vendor companies and government agencies in the 2014 program have once again risen to the challenge with brilliant new technologies and strategies. The GSN awards program places a high value on innovation, but that’s not enough. The products, services and initiatives have to be proven to work as intended in the real world before they can be named by the judges as a Winner or Finalist.”

“What motivates and inspires us every day is the fact that we’re helping thousands of organizations-including government agencies in the U.S. and around the globe-to protect their critical data from cyber-attacks,” said Anthony Bettencourt, President and CEO of Imperva.  “We’re honored to win this GSN award because it is evidence that we’re meeting the needs of government IT security teams for defense of critical applications and data in the physical and virtual data center, and we’re able to do this while supporting many of the compliance mandates unique to Federal agencies.”
