Imperva SecureSphere provides real-time protection against data breaches by hackers and malicious insiders. SecureSphere enables executives, risk officers, auditors and security professionals to mitigate the financial and reputation damage of data loss.
ISACA takes advantage of several key SecureSphere features including the ability to:
- Alert or block access requests that:
- Deviate from normal application and data usage
- Attempt to exploit known and unknown vulnerabilities
- Originate from malicious sources
- Violate corporate policies
- Are part of a sophisticated multi-stage attack
- Update defenses with research-driven intelligence on current threats and vulnerabilities
