Business Driver: Imperva’s Web Application Firewall WAF

Applying consistent security policy across the entire Enterprise has been a challenge for all organisations. As web applications like Salesforce and Atlassian make greater inroads into business our dependence moves from best-effort to mission critical. It’s the same for daily operations with vendors like Microsoft providing incentives to migrate completely from individual device computing to their Office 365 suite in their Azure Cloud. As the transition from terrestrial to Cloud hosting continues unabated, management must review their risk profiles and identify when investing in WAF technology moves from being an option to becoming a mandatory requirement.
