Imperva brings Pay-as-You-Go, enterprise-class web application firewall security to AWS Marketplace

Imperva Inc. has announced new pay-as-you-go pricing for SecureSphere Web Application Firewall (WAF) for Amazon Web Services (AWS) on AWS Marketplace. The new pricing model offers on-demand payment terms that let new and existing customers dynamically scale their WAF capabilities as demand for their cloud-based applications changes in real time. As a result, AWS users can safeguard their Web applications running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) with SecureSphere, and pay only on an as-needed basis.

Amazon Web Services was recently positioned by Gartner Research in the Leaders quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service”, while Imperva was recently positioned in the Leaders quadrant of Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls”. Today’s announcement makes it that much easier and affordable for anyone using the leading cloud infrastructure platform to benefit from Imperva’s innovative Web application security technology now available in AWS Marketplace.


“With 30% of all workloads expected to be in the public cloud by 2018, and about half of all large enterprises generally expected to be using a combination of public and private cloud services in that timeframe, our security solutions have got to support applications wherever they live,” said Ayelet Steinitz, Vice President of Business Development for Imperva. “SecureSphere WAF for AWS makes it possible for our customers to enjoy the benefits of AWS with the confidence that the applications they’ve deployed are being protected by the best-of-breed WAF. And with our new on-demand pricing model, customers can control their costs by quickly spinning SecureSphere instances up or down with variations in application traffic.”


“We are excited to have Imperva’s SecureSphere WAF for AWS available on AWS Marketplace,” said Terry Hanold, Vice President, Cloud Commerce, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "With Imperva's SecureSphere WAF offering hourly pricing, customers can quickly launch new initiatives without large up-front costs, while taking advantage of material savings for steady-state, long-term workloads."


Features of SecureSphere WAF for AWS
SecureSphere WAF for AWS is specifically designed to protect applications hosted in the AWS Cloud from attacks on web applications. It provides the elasticity and ease-of-deployment that AWS customers have come to expect. Other key features of SecureSphere WAF for AWS include support for:
· AWS CloudFormation: Imperva utilizes AWS CloudFormation templates to ease deployment, scaling and elasticity of SecureSphere WAF instances in AWS. Customers can define network settings and elasticity parameters like scaling groups in different Availability Zones.
· AWS Elastic Load Balancing: SecureSphere WAF gateways fit seamlessly into existing AWS Elastic Load Balancing deployments to balance traffic, detect unavailable instances, and route around them.
· Amazon CloudWatch: CloudWatch detects critical issues like high CPU or bandwidth utilization of the WAF gateways and automatically spawns new WAF gateways, which then register with the SecureSphere Management Server. This allows WAF gateways to automatically scale up in the event of excessive load.
