Case Study: hibank Indonesia achieves 30% faster API threat detection and 20% lower operational costs with Imperva Application Security

Experiences 30% faster API threat detection and 20% lower costs with Imperva Application Security

hibank, a Jakarta-based digital-first bank serving MSMEs, faced rising API security risks as it expanded services like digital payments, bookkeeping, and chatbots. Manual testing and traditional controls struggled to keep up with exposed and shadow APIs, business logic flaws, and strict regulatory requirements (PDPA, OJK, Bank Indonesia), creating urgent need for stronger, compliance-ready API protection.

hibank deployed Imperva Application Security (Imperva API Security), which used deep API discovery and machine-learning threat detection and was fully implemented in three months. The solution automated API inventory and detection of business-logic attacks, cutting time spent on API threat detection by 30% and operational costs by 20%, while improving compliance, reducing breach risk, and boosting customer trust.
