The customer, one of the world's top 100 universities, faced challenges with network security controls and visibility for its global assets. With critical data on the cloud and increasing external threats, the university sought a solution to protect its web applications across multiple environments, including Microsoft Azure. This prompted its IT Security and Risk Manager to use a Gartner subscription to find a vendor, ultimately selecting Imperva WAF Gateway for comprehensive protection.

Imperva implemented its WAF Gateway and Cloud Application Security solutions, providing the university with greater visibility into application threats and the ability to monitor and block suspicious activity. Imperva also recommended its FlexProtect licensing option, a cost-effective and scalable approach that allowed for flexible protection coverage. This versatile solution gave the university peace of mind to expand its platforms securely while minimizing reputational risk and creating a safer environment for teaching and research.
