Question 1

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Accepted Answer

Imperva’s Web Application Firewall helps protect internet-facing applications and websites from common and advanced cyber threats, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), remote code execution, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. The platform continuously analyses traffic behaviour and applies intelligent threat detection to help reduce malicious activity while minimising operational disruption and false positives.

Question 2

API Security

Accepted Answer

Modern applications rely heavily on APIs to exchange information between systems, applications, and services. Imperva provides API discovery, monitoring, posture management, and runtime protection to help organisations identify exposed APIs, detect abnormal behaviour, and prevent unauthorised access or API abuse across cloud and hybrid environments.

Question 3

DDoS Protection

Accepted Answer

Imperva helps organisations maintain service availability and operational continuity during Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by identifying and filtering malicious traffic before it impacts critical applications and services. Protection extends across both network-layer and application-layer attacks, helping reduce downtime and disruption to customer-facing systems.

Question 4

Bot Management

Accepted Answer

Automated bot traffic can contribute to fraud, account compromise, credential stuffing, data scraping, and degraded user experience. Imperva’s Bot Management capability uses behavioural analysis, machine learning, and threat intelligence to distinguish between legitimate automated traffic and malicious bots, enabling organisations to reduce abuse while preserving legitimate user access.

Question 5

Data Security

Accepted Answer

Imperva provides visibility into where sensitive information resides, who is accessing it, and how it is being used across databases and enterprise environments. Through data discovery, classification, activity monitoring, and risk analytics, organisations can better identify unusual access patterns, support compliance obligations, and strengthen controls around critical data assets.

Question 6

Threat Intelligence and Analytics

Accepted Answer

Imperva leverages global threat intelligence and behavioural analytics to identify emerging attack patterns, suspicious activity, and evolving threat vectors. This enables organisations to respond more effectively to cyber risks while benefiting from continuously updated protections informed by large-scale threat monitoring and analysis.

Question 7

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Support

Accepted Answer

Imperva is designed to support modern enterprise environments spanning on-premises infrastructure, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid deployments. This enables organisations to apply consistent application and data protection controls across distributed environments without relying on fragmented security tooling.

Question 8

Centralised Visibility and Management

Accepted Answer

Imperva provides centralised visibility across applications, APIs, traffic activity, and sensitive data environments through unified management and reporting capabilities. This helps security and operational teams gain greater oversight, streamline administration, and support more informed security decision-making across the organisation.
