Case Study: Jumia Group achieves consolidated website security, robust DDoS protection and improved performance with Incapsula

Jumia Group Deploys Imperva Incapsula to Consolidate Website Security and Performance for Its African E-Commerce Operations

Jumia, a leading African e‑commerce group serving about 15 million users per month across 22 countries and 120+ sites, needed to consolidate diverse web performance and security tools into a single cloud solution. The company required robust DDoS protection and scalable capacity to handle unpredictable traffic spikes from marketing campaigns while maintaining uptime and a good customer experience in a challenging regional threat environment.

Jumia chose Imperva Incapsula for integrated CDN, WAF and always‑on DDoS mitigation, migrating roughly 400 sites in a week with API tweaks and hands‑on support. The deployment simplified operations and cut costs, preserved site performance with no added latency, enabled seamless handling of traffic peaks, and delivered enterprise uptime backed by a 99.999% SLA; internal tests show effective attack response and no real-world DDoS incidents since onboarding.
