The security team identified the need for a specialized tool to combat sophisticated credential-stuffing attacks. After evaluating Imperva and four other solutions, Smallpdf chose Imperva Account Takeover Protection to secure their login pages, safeguard customer accounts, and reduce account-based fraud risks. Key deciding factors included Imperva’s high efficacy, risk-based mitigation control, insightful dashboards, flexible rule capabilities, and tools for in-depth incident investigation and false positive analysis.

BSE, being a National Critical Information Infrastructure, plays a vital role in safeguarding critical systems essential to national security and the economy. As a prime target for web application layer attacks, BSE sought to enhance its security posture by deploying best-in-class solutions that could work to effectively protect their data, improve website performance, and simplify configuration. In addition, they needed to upgrade their outdated and end-of-life database activity monitoring system to a modern solution to not only mitigate security risks, but to bolster regulatory compliance and enhanced operational and security efficacy.

NTT observed that after implementing Imperva, the website’s operation stabilized with a reduced operational load. Imperva’s automated threat management allowed the team to step back from constant monitoring and mitigation, which reduced stress and freed up resources. This shift enabled one of the two employees responsible for website security to focus on other essential tasks, saving the company several million yen annually in labor costs. Sakamoto also appreciated Imperva's service updates, like the introduction of IPv6 compatibility, which kept the platform aligned with evolving needs and demonstrated the advantages of a cloud-based solution.
