Imperva Data Security

Imperva Data Security (incorporating Imperva SecureSphere and Data Activity Monitoring) is an enterprise data protection platform engineered to discover, monitor, and protect sensitive corporate data stored in relational databases, mainframe repositories, data warehouses, and cloud storage systems. By continuously monitoring all database queries and administrative activities in real time, Imperva Data Security safeguards mission-critical databases from SQL injection exploits, privileged user abuse, unauthorized exfiltration, and ransomware corruption.

The platform provides granular, independent audit trails of every database interaction without impacting production database performance or relying on native database logging. Key technical capabilities include real-time Database Activity Monitoring (DAM), privileged user tracking, database vulnerability assessment, user rights management, automated compliance auditing for SOX and PCI-DSS, and dynamic masking of sensitive values in transit. When anomalous queries or mass exfiltration attempts occur, the system triggers real-time alerts or terminates the malicious connection immediately, preventing data breaches at the data tier.

Imperva Data Security integrates with enterprise databases (Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake), SIEM systems (Splunk, IBM QRadar), and identity directories. Core enterprise use cases include monitoring privileged database administrators (DBAs) for unauthorized access, detecting internal data theft, satisfying regulatory database compliance auditing requirements, and discovering unpatched database vulnerabilities. Imperva Data Security delivers continuous data visibility, deep forensic insights, and robust database defense.
