Invested and jointly developed the web application firewall platform in India
Netmagic, an NTT Communications company and India’s Datacenter Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (DILM) service provider, has entered into a partnership with Imperva, pioneering the third pillar of enterprise security with a new layer of protection designed specifically for physical and virtual data centers, to deploy a first-of-its-kind Web Application Firewall (WAF) platform in India.
Based on Imperva’s award-winning SecureSphere platform, Netmagic has invested and jointly developed a cloud-based service – SecureAT – that will be offered as part of its managed security services portfolio.
Commenting on the announcement, Nitin Mishra, SVP (Product Management), Netmagic, said, “Imperva is unparalleled in the Web Application Firewall (WAF) segment globally and we are pleased to have forged this alliance with them. The WAF platform is now imperative in Indian enterprises’ highly complex threat landscape and with this announcement, we have the first-mover advantage in the market. SecureAT has already seen adoption in the Indian enterprise space – a leading global telecommunications company and a leading bank headquartered in South-East Asia have already deployed the service.”
Stree Naidu, VP (APJ), Imperva, said, “With its booming economy, India is a hotbed of activity. It’s only natural that data security is a critical concern for organizations here. Our partnership with Netmagic will extend the power of our comprehensive data center security solutions to Indian enterprises, so their data and their customers’ data will be secure and accessible.”
“The value proposition that we offer with SecureAT is the huge savings for enterprises. Deploying the WAF platform over cloud instead of a dedicated in-house implementation can save as much as 40-50% in TCO over a 3-year period, in addition to the benefits of ease of deployment with zero downtime,” added Nitin.
