1. Imperva Application Security Platform

By Thales Group (Imperva)

4.7
(551 Ratings)

Imperva ASP delivers strong protection for web applications, especially in scenarios with a WAF (Web Application Firewall). Attack mitigation is stable and offers good traffic visibility, but some configurations and adjustments can be quite laborious. Initially, when using a WAF, the WAF has a slightly different approach because the application needs to be clear, and the WAF needs to understand each step of that application to avoid blocking business functionality without the necessary knowledge or policy for that use.
