How does Imperva for Google Cloud differ from other solutions?

Imperva for Google Cloud delivers enterprise-grade WAF, API security, and bot protection natively through Google Cloud – providing stronger threat detection, near-zero false positives, and lower operational overhead than built-in or point solutions. All inspection stays inside Google’s network for optimal performance and data residency.

Will traffic be routed through third-party networks?

No. Our native integration with Google Cloud Load Balancer ensures traffic flows directly from the load balancer to your origin server within the same region, no additional network hops or detours through external cloud providers. This maintains optimal latency and performance.

How does Imperva handle false positives?

Imperva delivers near-zero false positives through rigorously tested managed rules developed by our Threat Research team. With 97% of policies effective out-of-the-box and 95% of customers in blocking mode from day one, our solution provides precision without constant tuning.

Will implementing Imperva disrupt my existing infrastructure?

No. Imperva for Google Cloud integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud Load Balancers without requiring DNS changes, SSL reconfigurations, or routing modifications. Most deployments are completed in minutes with minimal configuration changes
