Imperva Opens New Skyfence Cloud Point of Presence in Europe
October 12 2016 - 07:04AM
Imperva, Inc. (NYSE:IMPV), committed to protecting
business-critical data and applications in the cloud and
on-premises, today announced its first cloud point of presence
(POP) using Amazon Web Services dedicated to storing Imperva
Skyfence customers’ cloud application data within the European
Union (EU). Located in Frankfurt, Germany, the operations center
will allow Imperva Skyfence customers, doing business in Europe, to
address compliance requirements, including the EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This European-based Imperva Skyfence cloud POP aids
worldwide customers who conduct business in Europe to adhere to the
EU’s regulations regarding regional data storage in the context of
their enterprise cloud data and applications. With the increasing
emphasis on individual data privacy and the adoption of the GDPR,
many Imperva customers are requiring their EU data be stored within
the EU.
“Our customers are leveraging cloud apps to
transact digital business and to deliver enhanced user experiences
for their clients, many of whom do business in Europe,” said Meg
Bear, senior vice president, cloud services at Imperva. “The new
Imperva Skyfence cloud POP is a significant step toward helping
them to meet requirements under current EU data privacy regulations
and future GDPR mandates for data residing in cloud apps.”
The Imperva Skyfence Cloud Gateway is a cloud
access security broker (CASB) that provides visibility and control
over sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud apps to enable their safe
and productive use. To help customers meet compliance with
regulations including the GDPR, Imperva Skyfence offers detailed
visibility into the locations where the cloud service provider
stores an organization’s data. This is important since cloud
providers may store data in a different country from where the data
was uploaded. Imperva Skyfence also enables organizations to
restrict access to cloud files from endpoint locations that would
run afoul of the GDPR. In addition, Imperva Skyfence provides the
reporting necessary to show adherence to regulatory
requirements.
The GDPR is the new regulation on data protection
for the EU that will be fully implemented in 2018. It aims to unify
the various data protection laws in the EU, while at the same time,
simplifying the regulatory environment for companies doing business
in Europe. The GDPR provides guidance on how personal data can be
processed and shared as well as the financial penalties for
non-compliance.
