Case Study: Israel Ministry of Finance achieves 24/7 protection of sensitive government web applications with Imperva SecureSphere

Israel Ministry of Finance - Customer Case Study

The Israel Ministry of Finance’s Tehila project provides a central, secure Internet infrastructure for government ministries as part of the national e‑government initiative. Tasked with hosting dozens of sensitive public-facing applications, Tehila needed to protect critical data and services from frequent cyber‑terror and application‑layer attacks while maintaining 24/7 public access with low administrative overhead, high performance, and clear operational visibility.

Tehila deployed Imperva’s SecureSphere Dynamic Profiling Firewall across its internal and external networks to automate tuning, harden web and database defenses, and deliver detailed reporting. SecureSphere now protects several sensitive sites, blocking daily sophisticated attacks (SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows), giving staff actionable insight into threats, and reducing maintenance burden while improving overall application security.
