Imperva Data Protection Reviews

First of all, I like Imperva because it's provides OWASP TOP 10 protection also, we can create separate rules for security and such a great Web Application Firewall.

First of all there is no more dislike from my side but one is that when we create new rule and whitelist and blacklist any IP's that time one rule is not create from our end.

In the past, I faced one issue in time the support team would provide me with the best solution. The issue was a DNS error, but the support team helped me better, and I have solved my problem.

Imperva tool is helping us to combat and defend against this log4j vulnerability.

we could see attempts by malicious threat actors attempting to exploit this vulnerability through our organization's CAP websites, but the WAF is doing as expected and blocking these attempts.

In many cases, the CVE’s which associated with the attack (these are related to the log4j vulnerability), and it provides verification that the WAG has blocked 100% of these attempts. This is exactly what we were looking for.

Unable to use Minification settings across the board. Example:

We developed an Angular APP, but we could not apply the minification because the WAF site is configured to optimize and minify. However, minification is a must-have for Angular apps, and not using it defeats the purpose of the Angular app in the first place.

Our company was exposed to a newly discovered zero-day vulnerability with Apache Log4j2 known as Log4Shell last year. We took several measures and actions that we were doing to prevent exposure to this vulnerability. Some of the remediation measures are as follows -

1. Leverage Waratek ARMR patch to virtually patch systems

2. Enable Log4j settings according to Hurricane Labs' suggestion - Log4j2 versions 2.10.0 and greater have a formatMsgNoLookups property which will mitigate the vulnerability if enabled. If this setting does not break anything in your application, it is recommended to enable it.

3. Upgrade Log4j

4. Block known IP’s which are exploiting vulnerabilities

We were using the Imperva tool to defend against this log4j vulnerability.

Imperva cloud protection has features that are industry-leading and protect production workloads with a platform that is secure, scalable and able to advise where the pain points are located.

There are elements of the platform that can be difficult to master, however with assistance from the support team, these difficulties are overcome through alignment with best practice.

Imperva Cloud Protection allows my team to protect production workload data with insights into how the data is accessed, sent and stored in transit and at rest.

This tool help me and my team in data masking. Moreover, it classify data too which is a Plus one. It is secure and reliable and value for money product.

Although it comes with great functionality but those functions are quite difficult to grasp because of very less documentation provided. But with time you will get expert in it.

Apart from its great features such as data masking, data classification, it also audit data.

At this price this is the best cloud data protection tool i have ever used. Further experience will update you soon.

The options available for auditing are outstanding.

The system has very good reliability and tuning options for the agents on the servers.

The data gathered is fantastic and presented in a format that is easily readable for auditors.

For on prem usage our servers have had no issues. The Linux is extremely resilient and we have no issues with the boxes.

Navigation of the menus can get confusing pretty quickly. Since there are so many, it is extremely easy to get lost. Almost too many options and data.

We are using the product across the entire organization for all of our SQL database servers. We use it primarily as a compliance tool for reporting and HiTrust certification. Our organization standards mandate that any new SQL database being configured has the Imperva Data Security agent installed on the system. We also ensure that our systems are configured with failover so that we do not lose any audit data.

Imperva cloud data protection provides best in class data security. It comes with intelligent 3 layer firewall which is nearly impossible to breach.

Also Data Masking is feature is very good.

Personally I'm huge fan of cloud based data protection tools, imperva cloud data protection is Little bit laggy when it comes to large file. Otherwise it serves every purpose.

It helps me in data masking, user can protect their valuable credentials with minimum clicks.

Also it reduces the redundancy of files. It boosts the accessibility of data.

Easy to implement in large data centers. And all the known databes security bugs can be blocked just by installing.

Less training meterial available in market.

Database auditing and use to safe guard database from all known bugs.

Data Classification, Data Masking, Ease of Use, Detailed reporting

Lack of proper documentation and Knowledge Base.

I Recommend the product.

We are using Imperva Cloud Data Protection for the security of application data hosted in Microsoft Azure.

A good security for the data, encryption and availability with role specific access.

The UI and experience is a challenge, it can be made more user friendly.

The scalable and available features are key one's

Provides many options (almost to a fault) for database scanning and data classification. We replaced another more expensive product with SecureSphere and was able to get more functionality out the product for less money. It does a great job of DB scanning and data classification.

It is perhaps a bit unfriendly in terms of its interface and initial setup. It's not intuitive and takes time to really learn. Once it is going, it works well.
