Case Study: Walla! Shops achieves PCI compliance and protects customer payment data with Imperva SecureSphere

Leading eCommerce Site Selects SecureSphere for PCI

Walla! Shops, Israel’s leading eCommerce site with up to 40,000 daily unique visitors, needed to protect customers’ sensitive payment and personal data, comply with PCI DSS 6.6, and avoid operational overhead or disruption to its always-on, frequently changing web application. The company required a non‑intrusive solution that could be deployed transparently without network or application changes and that would not demand constant manual tuning.

Walla! Shops selected the Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall, deployed inline as a layer‑2 bridge. SecureSphere’s automated profiling and real‑time blocking of attacks (e.g., SQL injection, session hijacking, cookie theft) prevented data leakage, reduced manual tuning and operational costs, preserved site performance and uptime, and enabled the company to meet PCI compliance while maintaining customer trust.
