History
Imperva, originally named WEBcohort, was founded in 2002 by Shlomo Kramer, Amichai Shulman and Mickey Boodaei. The following year the company shipped its first product, SecureSphere Web Application Database Protection, a web application firewall. In 2004, the company changed its name to Imperva. In 2010 the company introduced the Imperva SecureSphere File Security product family to help mitigate insider threats.
In 2011 Imperva went public and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IMPV). That year it also introduced a Cloud Web Application Firewall for the mid-market called ImpervaCloud powered by Incapsula—a startup seeded by Imperva. In 2013 Imperva announced ThreatRadar Community Defense, a crowd-sourced threat intelligence service. In 2014 the company acquired the remaining shares of Incapsula, a cloud security gateway startup named SkyFence, and real-time mainframe security auditing agents from Tomium Software. Later that year, Anthony Bettencourt replaced Shlomo Kramer as the President and CEO, and the following year he replaced Kramer as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In 2015, the company announced Imperva CounterBreach, a solution that protects enterprise data from theft and loss by insiders. In 2016 the company introduced a data masking solution called Imperva Camouflage.
