Imperva Dashboard

Overview

Imperva provides network and application security solutions to protect applications and APIs from attacks and monitor incidents. It also acts as a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) to cache pages and reduce bandwidth usage.

Datadog’s integration with Imperva collects logs and metrics from Imperva’s API, which generates:

Attack Analytics Logs These logs represent incidents of cyberattacks against your account, providing a comprehensive view of attacks and attackers targeting your resources. They are formed by aggregating and analyzing security alerts, then grouping them into security incidents.

Audit Trail Logs These logs contain actions performed in your account by account users, system processes, and Imperva system administrators and support.

Cloud Application Security Statistics Metrics These Web Application Firewall (WAF) metrics measure hits, visits, caching performance, and bandwidth usage for sites protected by Imperva.
