Imperva Inc’s (IMPV) core technology is aimed at protecting data centers from targeted attacks focused on applications and databases, focusing on an important area that traditional cybersecurity investments do not protect, says Jonathan Ho, Analyst at William Blair & Company, L.L.C.
“[Imperva is] a relatively new company that just came public a few years ago, and what their technology focuses on is protecting against attacks that happen to databases and to websites. Their technology is really core in terms of protecting the data center from targeted attacks that focus on applications and databases, which is where most of the important data is stored,” Ho said.

Web application and database security is an important area because traditional investments in security do not target these areas, and IMPV‘s technology is helping to secure the mechanisms hackers are currently using to gain access at that level, Ho said.
“From my perspective, this will be an important area just because traditional investments in more networking infrastructure are not going to protect at the application level, and Imperva technology really helps to secure some of the mechanisms that the hackers are using today to breach corporate networks or to potentially gain access to information that they just didn’t have,” Ho said.
