Imperva creates industry's first solution ecosystem for data security and compliance

FOSTER CITY, Calif. -- Imperva, the leader in application data security and compliance, today announced Imperva OpenSphere, the industry’s first solution eco-system for delivering comprehensive data security and compliance solutions. OpenSphere enables organizations to deploy SecureSphere® solutions together with pre-integrated third party products, content and information feeds, delivery platforms and best practices. The result is that customers can create a customized and interlocking framework that increases the effectiveness and efficiency of their data security and compliance efforts. The first members of OpenSphere are Crossbeam Systems, Ounce Labs, and SenSage.
According to Gartner, Inc., “A variety of complementary and sometimes overlapping monitoring and analysis tools help enterprises better detect and investigate suspicious activity — often with real-time alerting or transaction intervention … But, each of these tools varies in the scope of monitoring source coverage and, while complementary, they don't necessarily interoperate.”1
Four Categories of Integration
OpenSphere provides four points of integration that lay the groundwork for comprehensive and efficient data security and compliance deployment.
ContentIn – partners that contribute content such as best practice templates, application structure definitions, vulnerability data, etc. to tailor a SecureSphere deployment to a specific environment. Example: Ounce Labs.
InformationOut – partners that consume feeds such as assessment data, audit logs, and security events from SecureSphere to enhance the value of their own offering(s). Example: SenSage.
DeliveryOn – partners that build software or hardware platforms that SecureSphere runs on, allowing for deployment flexibility to match varying architectural requirements. Example: Crossbeam.
CompatibleWith – software or hardware platforms that SecureSphere supports, delivering the assurance that activity monitoring, audit and security functions won’t interfere with normal business usage. Examples: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, and Sybase.
“Data governance and protection solutions require a complex set of security and audit technologies that are not designed to interoperate and share data,” said Shlomo Kramer, president and CEO of Imperva. “We created OpenSphere to bridge the gap between these islands of technology and allow the bidirectional exchange of data and capabilities. The members of OpenSphere share a common goal: to help customers reduce the cost and complexity associated with securing application data and complying with regulatory mandates.”
