Imperva DDoS Benefits

Syed Ubaid Ali Jafri - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Cyber Defense & Offensive Security at Habib Bank Limited

We never used to know about threat and attack signatures. By using Imperva WAF, we could identify our weak points where an attacker was trying to gain access.

Automatic failover between primary and secondary sites enables high availability and accelerates disaster recovery. As soon as it detects that the primary site has gone down, it automatically kick-starts our standby data center.

Incapsula:

It has provided heightened visibility and awareness at management level on the actual threat landscape; it paves the way for easier approval for security-related implementations/projects.

CloudFlare:

It provides free SSL certs that can be used on website domains that I did not purchase SSL certs for.

Some protection and CDN caching realized, even though I’m on the free tier.

Any website that we publish on the web needs to be fully protected. In hosting environments, installing an on-premise WAF solution or other security device is not feasible. Incapsula provides a very simple to install and configure solution, that can be up and running in minutes. Also, now, we don’t have to worry about the security of the website, or if the bandwidth needs to be increased, as everything is automatic.

In the old days, we experienced many problems with denial of service attacks, and identifying them was very difficult because we did not have a WAF solution. After the deployment, the solution gave us the visibility we needed.

Another important feature is that it doesn’t require us to move our DNS service to Incapsula like other services. It allows us to maintain our network in our current configuration. It works well with the Amazon cloud we use and doesn’t require us to re-configure our network.

System Administrator at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

When I joined the company, one of our websites was hacked by malware (somebody put it on our website). The website went down for a long time. It took two weeks to clear the server and move everything: all the content, clean it, bring it up, and start again. By using this application, the firewall is blocking every suspicious activity and event. Now, we are safe. We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website. With this application, we have some peace of mind that everything is blocked by Incapsula.

Our audit experience is made much more simple due to having this solution. It is an answer to many security issues. We have all of the same sites available and audited internally. This extra layer of security helps with the external 'monitoring and alerting' and keeps that heavy administration portion to those who can handle it at scale a lot easier.

Incapsula’s DDoS Protection and Load Balancing really helped maximize our security. It added an extra layer of protection.

Threat monitoring allows us to save time when responding to an incident. Previously we would have had to analyze logs, generate reports which takes time that could be spend remediating issues. Incapsula gives an uncomplicated overview of what is happening among other things.

Incapsula's DDoS protection service delivers immediate and comprehensive protection for both network and application level (Layer 7). DDoS is a hugely beneficial feature.

We are using caching and CDN heavily, for certain campaigns we ended up in 80%+ of all the traffic served by Incapsula without passing to the origin servers.

We were PCI-complaint before using Incapsula; however, it is always better to have one more layer of security.

No DDOS attacks for now, but let's see once we face it.

Basically, before we found Incapsula, we were getting hit with 5-10 gigabit DDoS attacks, and we were trying to figure out how to fight the attacks. Therefore, we tried Incapsula out on one site, and through the trial we saw what the solution could do – the attacker gave up after a few tries. Once we signed up for an enterprise account with all ten sites we saw the attacks drop weekly.
