Imperva Data Security Fabric delivers comprehensive and centralized management through a single data service or dashboard

## Imperva Data Security Fabric (DSF) provides you with a holistic view of your total data environment

#### Effectively manage, monitor, and protect all of your data across different sources, applications, and cloud environments

Imperva DSF delivers centralized management through a single data service or dashboard for supervising and monitoring your data security controls. By unifying visibility of your entire data estate, Imperva DSF allows you to configure and manage security policies, view alerts and incidents, and track the status of data protection measures for the whole organization—for any data source and type—across on-premises, cloud, multicloud, and hybrid-cloud environments.

- Protect data by understanding and controlling access by users, processes, and apps within a single service view
- Gain full enterprise visibility of multicloud and hybrid threats, risk, and activity across the entire data environment
- Detect anomalous and bad behavior with machine learning algorithms

### Discover, classify, and view all of your data

Imperva DSF Discovery and Classification automatically discovers sensitive data in databases, file shares, and other data stores—on-premises, in the cloud, across multiple clouds, or in hybrid environments. In the process it automatically classifies the data so you can put the right risk mitigation mechanisms in place.

Imperva DSF is the industry's first hybrid cloud, data-centric solution designed to secure all data types, protect the data estate from data breaches, and drastically reduce time spent managing compliance and privacy.

### Data-centric security lifecycle

## Real-time, interactive data exploration

#### Consolidate compliance efforts from one location

No more batch operations—retrieve data in minutes versus days

- All data is “always live”—no need to import data manually or collate between several environments
- Fast reads allow for huge reports to be recalled in minutes
- Interact with data from any source including clouds, metadata, and existing Imperva gateways and management servers

## Increased usability of data

#### Empower new users and use cases: APIs enable controlled access by SOC, DBAs, Forensics, etc. through their tool of choice

Unlock value for different business and technical stakeholders outside of compliance and governance teams

- Define who sees what with role-based access control
- Stakeholders can use their tool of choice with rich 3rd party tool support

## Data activity monitoring and predictive data risk analytics

Imperva DSF monitors and continuously analyzes all data access activity, by both database user accounts and privileged user accounts, and can automatically determine if a data access event violates a compliance or security policy. In addition, Imperva DSF utilizes machine learning and unique detection techniques developed by Imperva Labs to spot known attack exploits or suspicious activity even if the behavior attempts to be evasive.

## Long-term, live audit data access

With Imperva DSF, years worth of retained records are instantly accessible for detailed search and investigation. Audit data is archived automatically as time passes, but remains accessible in seconds for queries and reporting.
