Imperva Develops Cloud Service Provider Certification

  • Jan 25, 2011
Data security company Imperva announced its PartnerSphere Cloud Alliance (PCA) program, designed to enable managed security service providers (MSSP), hosting providers and cloud providers to deliver data security for their cloud data centers.  The program sets parameters for select partners, helping MSSP customers identify cloud service providers whose technologies and services have been certified by Imperva.

"Growing interest in cloud-based security services has helped Imperva's Service Provider partners dramatically grow 2010 revenue 90 percent over the previous year," said Imperva VP of worldwide channels, Chris Cesio.  "With a formal program in place, enterprises using cloud services will have a certified list of partners who properly and effectively deploy and manage Imperva's market-leading technology. Our certification program provides our small, medium and large enterprise customers with easy and reliable access to advanced data security expertise through our partners, and allows them to offload daily management functions so that they can focus on their core competencies."

The PCA program ensures that MSSP partners have been certified according to eligibility requirements, which include:

•    Partner owns and operates a secure network operations center;
•    Demonstrated ability, with certified sales and technical staff, to implement Imperva's data security products; and
•    Staffed to deliver ongoing and reliable 24/7 support.

Today, Imperva's certified PCA partners include: Firehost, Incapsula, Nexusguard, Network, Integration Services (NIS), Rackspace, Savvis, Seccom Global, SecureWorks, Security On Demand and Solutionary.

These partners have deployed Imperva SecureSphere Web application firewall (WAF), which enables businesses to efficiently protect data transacted by Web applications. With a WAF, Imperva's cloud partners provide instant, cost-effective protection against attacks targeting applications for large and small enterprises. 

"We look forward to participating in the PartnerSphere Cloud Alliance program to continue to bring new security services to our clients," said Dan DeRosa, VP of Product Management for SecureWorks.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
