Redwood Shores, Calif.: Imperva, Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), a pioneer and leader of a new category of business security solutions for critical applications and high-value business data in the data center, today released its April Hacker Intelligence Initiative report, “Get What You Give: The Value of Shared Threat Intelligence,” which analyzed real-world attack traffic against 60 web applications between January and March 2013 to identify common attack patterns. According to the report, businesses can reduce the risk of successful attacks against their organizations by identifying and blocking attack sources, payloads and tools that are found to target multiple websites or organizations. These attack sources made up a disproportionate amount of the overall traffic against enterprise organizations in the report, and can be identified only by analyzing crowd-sourced attack data from a broader community.
