Case Study: Universidad La Salle México achieves 3+ years of incident‑free web protection and compliance with Imperva Cloud WAF

Meets compliance standards and protects their data from web attacks for more than 3 years with Imperva Application Security

Universidad La Salle México, a long‑established higher education institution in Mexico City, needed to accelerate its security posture to comply with a new local data protection law and better protect student and faculty data. Their existing defenses lacked adequate DDoS and bot protection as well as traffic classification and reporting needed for leadership visibility and audits (including ISO27001).

After a proof of value with OCM‑IT, the university deployed Imperva Cloud WAF (with Advanced Bot, API and DDoS protection) via a centralized console and global SOC, delivering near‑zero false positives and real‑time threat detection. The result: more than three years without a breach or incident—blocking SQL injection, scripting and volumetric attacks—and comprehensive Attack Analytics reporting to satisfy compliance and audit requirements.
