Imperva introduces SecureSphere 9.0 and ThreatRadar fraud prevention services

The new version 9.0 of the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall features new defenses which stop bots and automated attacks. The SecureSphere anti-automation technology differentiates between bots and legitimate users. Advanced application DDoS policies use detection techniques to stop Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and customizable DDoS policy templates simplify administration.

ThreatRadar fraud prevention enables organizations to mitigate malware-driven fraud. ThreatRadar Fraud Prevention integrates with Trusteer Pinpoint, a service that detects client devices infected with malware. The new ThreatRadar service for the SecureSphere Web Application Firewall decouples fraud prevention from Web application business logic, adjusts fraud policies and actions from the SecureSphere Web user interface. Additionally, it provides security alerts and graphical reports that allow fraud analysts to investigate suspicious activity.

Furthermore, Imperva has extended the ThreatRadar reputation services to include IP geolocation. With up-to-date IP information regarding geolocation, Imperva customers are able to block unauthorized activity by geographic location. Geolocation also enables organizations to meet regulatory requirements, such as US export controls EAR and OFAC, by restricting access from embargoed countries.
