[September 09, 2011] Imperva Launches Cloud-Based DDoS Protection Tweet Sep 09, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Imperva announced the availability of Imperva Cloud DDoS Protection, a secure cloud-based service that safeguards businesses from debilitating and protracted Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. By subscribing to this service, the company reported that organizations can protect against the downtime and brand damage, and potential lost revenue caused by DDoS attacks. "Hackers frequently tune DDoS attacks, and our service will help enterprises better block one of the main weapons in a hacker's arsenal. This year we've seen a number of significant DDoS attacks that have caused significant down time for websites," said Amichai Shulman, CTO of Imperva. "The Imperva Cloud DDoS service combines scalable DDoS protection that is tuned in real time by a team of DDoS experts with technology powered by Imperva's cloud-based subsidiary Incapsula." "When we were under a DDoS attack, our traffic went up 100-fold. Imperva Cloud DDoS Protection stopped the attack and kept our site up and running. Imperva's DDoS Protection service is as cost effective as it is powerful," explained Mark Widman, Network Administrator at Keystone RV Company. Imperva Cloud DDoS Protection complements the capabilities of the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall. While SecureSphere stops application DDoS attacks, attacks designed to overwhelm organizations' Internet connections are better dealt with before they reach organizations' networks. Cloud DDoS Protection scales on-demand to protect against multi-gigabit attacks—much greater than many enterprises' Internet connections—and to avoid costly over-provisioning of bandwidth. Imperva is a provider of a new category of data security solutions for high-value business data in the data center.
