Thales Launches Imperva for AWS to Protect Applications and APIs in the Cloud

Thales has announced the launch of Imperva for AWS, available as a SaaS offering on the AWS Marketplace. The new solution is designed to protect web applications and APIs from modern cyber threats, including complex automated bot attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities.

According to the Thales Bad Bot Report, automated traffic accounts for 53% of all internet requests, with 27% of bot attacks targeting APIs directly.

Integration with Amazon CloudFront and Key Benefits

Unlike traditional Content Delivery Network (CDN) WAF solutions that route traffic outside the cloud provider's infrastructure, Imperva WAF deploys directly on Amazon CloudFront. This allows all traffic to be processed within the AWS network across more than 750 Points of Presence, delivering robust security with zero added latency.

Key benefits for organizations include:

• Comprehensive Protection: Security for web applications, APIs, and client-side code.
• Simplified Deployment: Fast onboarding thanks to native integration with Amazon CloudFront.
• Centralized Management: A single console for visibility and security policy management across AWS and multi-cloud environments.
• Flexible Pricing: Availability on the AWS Marketplace with a pay-as-you-go model.
