Case Study: NetRefer achieves 50% faster site performance and 24/7 DDoS protection with Imperva Incapsula

Imperva secures NetRefer’s website and boosts performance

NetRefer, a performance marketing software provider for affiliate programs founded in 2005, was supporting 80 gaming operators but became increasingly exposed to attacks. Their hosting offered limited DDoS scrubbing, they lacked a web application firewall and cross‑platform visibility, and they needed a scalable, always‑on solution that minimized downtime and supported a move to cloud/PaaS.

NetRefer deployed Imperva Incapsula’s cloud WAF, always‑on DDoS mitigation and CDN, routing traffic at the DNS level for simpler management. The result: 24/7 protection and real‑time threat visibility, improved support and lower costs, and a 50% site performance boost from Incapsula’s content‑aware CDN.
