They provide end-to-end data security, so everything to do with applications, APIs, et cetera. We've got a Telco client, and they'll be partnering with us to use the DDoS solution with their clients. It's primarily for DDoS attacks. It's looking at anything that's trying to remove the ability of the company to operate, usually volumetric, however, since it's got a three-second SLA, it's better than the competition.
All our web services go to the Incapsula cloud application environment for monitoring on the production service. All the web application protection is under Incapsula because they provide the WAF protection services. Our web services are registered under their cloud environment so all our customers visit our web services. All the web services are under the web application firewall protector. I think it's from their own cloud solution. I don't think the cloud solution is from Amazon because the IP address does not belong to Amazon. It belonged to Incapsula themselves, so their solution is under their own network cloud environment. Our own data center environment is using the Incapsula cloud service. I think it's a hybrid cloud to include all the private and the public services.
Previously I was in software development for more than 15 years. I had developed web applications for internet and cable TV companies. Now, I am a sales executive for Imperva Cloud WAF. Imperva Cloud WAF, previously Imperva Incapsula, is a web application firewall that is implemented in the cloud. It protects a public facing web application. It will track if a hacker is doing brute force attack. The web application firewall will detect it and block the source. This could be an IP address or the main name specific for a country. You can then update the profile of your server to block those IP addresses where the attack is coming from . We have placed Imperva Cloud in our client's employee self service system that they are logged into. The website is protected by Imperva so that employees and customers can log in all over the Philippines. The client is a power generation company, which is a critical service, and has branches all over the Philippines. We partner with a couple of on-premise data centers in the Philippines, one is PIM. They also provide cloud solutions. We bundle our solutions into their cloud projects.

We use it to protect websites against application threats and DDoS attacks. Because it is a cloud solution, we always have the last version. I don't need to update or upgrade. We are a partner of Imperva. Imperva doesn't sell directly to customers, so they have to pass through vendors and partners like us. All of my customers have different levels of services with Imperva.

Incapsula was acquired by Imperva. We had a need to provide a solution for our clients and the Incapsula solution and Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) allowed us to have people subscribe to Incapsula as a service. It was easy to work with because we would just put in the hostname and the IP address of the websites in Incapsula's DNS. When the DNS is resolved it first passes through Incapsula and makes a stops in the Cloud WAF before it sends the website itself. Customers can trust it because the traffic going to the customer passes through Incapsula's cloud service. So if there is an attack, the website and the visitors are protected because it will take care of such issues and it eliminates the bad traffic. Both ends are taken care of so the website is protected from hackers because it first goes through the Incapsula Cloud WAF. That is the basic high-level architecture of how the Incapsula works. We distributors of Imperva in Africa. I am responsible for our business presence in Eastern and Western Africa. I am fixed locally here in Nigeria. Being distributors, we have a pretty good idea of how the market is in general and how the products are used. All the partners who implement it and who resell sell it, buy it from us and deploy for customer accounts. We cover a high percentage of the financial service industry here in Nigeria.

The first use case was due to the need to protect DDoS attacks as well as protection for SQL injection. The existing application was no longer supported, and to prevent further attacks from occurring, WAF Imperva was applied. The rollout was very fast due to the need for DNS notes only.
