Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Imperva performed strongly in our evaluation of Web application firewalls. SecureSphere excels at policy management because it is highly automated and policies are easily modified. However, it lacks certain configuration features; for example, it allows only predefined administrative roles. The product also offers strong alerting and centralized reporting features provided by the embedded Crystal Reports. Other benefits include comprehensive attack detection models featuring correlation and ongoing statistical analysis of incoming traffic. Imperva's response features are less mature — it cannot block specific users, and traffic throttling is unavailable. In the future, Imperva plans to improve its product by supporting user-level policies, including linking the events to specific database transactions and expanded support for new applications and protocols.
