With Imperva DSF you can standardize data security controls across large and complex enterprise data environments, so you have full visibility and centralized command of what is happening across all of your file stores and data assets, on-premises, in the hybrid cloud, and across multiple clouds.
Imperva's flexible architecture supports a broad range of data repositories, from legacy mainframe systems to modern big data systems and cloud-managed database services and everything in between. Imperva DSF enables you to migrate your data to the cloud without creating compliance and security gaps – ensuring a safe digital transformation.
Data security, anywhere
Imperva DSF provides a comprehensive and unified view of enterprise data risks across both structured and unstructured data management systems – meaning your security policies are applied consistently everywhere.
Structured data support includes traditional databases, mainframes, data warehouses, and databases hosted in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and more – including Managed Database Services such as Azure SQL and Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS).
Files are protected and compliance is covered
In many organizations, unstructured data in the form of email, files from office productivity suites, PDF documents, and various other application files is the majority of their data. Organizations have little insight into what most of those files contain or what risk exposure they hold. Many threats from insider mishaps, malicious actors, cyber-attacks, ransomware, and other sources are always lurking in enterprise environments with files spread across on-premises and cloud data repositories. Imperva DSF provides visibility into sensitive data’s exact location, volume, and context. Driven by machine learning, it allows data owners to find and identify data regardless of cloud or on-premise environment or data source. Imperva DSF analyzes metadata to determine file owner, data type, data category, and other information, consolidating findings for rapid assessment of current access profiles. Administrators will quickly know whether regulated data types may have over-privileged file entitlements beyond what is intended or entitled for a user. Imperva DSF has a built-in workflow manager to help automate remediation workflows should action be required.
Key technical capabilities that enable data security at scale
Data Discovery & Classification
Databases, unstructured file repositories, and cloud applications tend to grow and expand. Many organizations cannot even catalog their digital assets in the cloud. Thus, discovering all DBaaS instances and unstructured data files with sensitive information and classifying them for their content becomes important, and is required for most privacy regulations.
Data Activity Monitoring
Data activity monitoring helps organizations demonstrate compliance by monitoring and auditing data access and usage within the cloud environment. It enables organizations to track and report on data activities to meet regulatory obligations. Imperva DSF Data Activity Monitoring continuously monitors and analyzes all database activity automatically, including local privileged user access and service accounts – in real time – to ensure regulatory compliance mandates are met.
Data Risk Analytics
Imperva DSF Data Risk Analytics helps identify potential security threats and malicious activities within the cloud environment. These capabilities, which are not inherent to cloud-native data store services, allow organizations to detect unauthorized access attempts, suspicious data transfers, and other abnormal behavior that may indicate a security breach or data compromise.
