Overview

The cloud has revolutionized IT, offering organizations a strategic opportunity to rapidly pursue new market initiatives and adapt their operations in the face of new business challenges. However, concerns about security risks and regulatory compliance have become major issues that slow progress towards cloud transformation.

Because of the significant differences between on-premises and cloud database environments, organizations have tried extending traditional database security tools to their cloud environments, only to encounter severe limitations, from the technical impossibility of installing agents on DBaaS, to the practical limitations of directing all cloud database traffic through a proxy service. This has resulted in organizations using a patchwork of individual tools. Ironically, this raises the likelihood of human error, unnecessarily increasing the risk of a breach or compliance failure.

By supporting all databases regardless of where they are hosted, including database as a service (DBaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and multi and hybrid cloud environments, Imperva enables companies to maintain their security posture while rapidly embracing the cloud. The platform natively integrates with any database on Amazon Web Services™, Google Cloud™, Microsoft® Azure®, MongoDB® Atlas and Snowflake™, as well as many others.

The solution from Imperva enables CIOs to make the best infrastructure decisions for their organization with confidence that security will not be compromised. With minimal data security risks, projects can move quickly without undue concerns over safety and compliance. Using fewer tools allows for vendor consolidation and reduces the requirement for dedicated IT security staffing and resources.
