Case Study: Tokyo Institute of Technology secures 400 campus websites and reduces security workload with Imperva SecureSphere WAF

Tokyo Tech selects the Imperva SecureSphere WAF to protect the web content posted on its websites

Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan’s leading science and technology university, faced ongoing attacks on roughly 400 campus websites managed by its Global Scientific Information and Computing Center (GSIC). With only a small security team and diverse, often vulnerable CMS platforms, the university needed a best-in-class, easy-to-operate solution to guarantee web content protection and reduce incident response load.

Tokyo Tech deployed Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall, which automatically blocks major attacks, delivers highly detailed alerting and urgency prioritization, and simplified day-to-day operations. As a result, the security team gained clearer visibility into incidents, could focus on the highest-priority threats, substantially reduced emergency workload, and is now expanding WAF coverage across more sites.
