Gaitame.Com Selects Imperva to Protect Web-based Foreign Exchange Trading Platform

Leading Japanese Financial Services Firm Deploys SecureSphere Web
Application Firewall to Defend Against Application Attacks
FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Imperva(R), the leader in application data security and
compliance, today announced that Gaitame.Com Co., Ltd., a leading
Japanese online foreign exchange (FX) trading company has deployed the
SecureSphere(R) Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect its
web-based service delivery platform from application attacks including
cross-site scripting and SQL injection. Gaitame.Com selected
SecureSphere over competing products based on its 10X performance
advantage, ability to be deployed with zero network changes, and
Dynamic Profiling which automates policy management and enforcement.

Gaitame.Com specializes in on-line services for individual
investors. Its online trading platform deals with twelve currency
pairs and provides users with real-time information on the world's
exchange markets as well as transaction services. Most web services
offered at Gaitame.Com require data input by users and communicate
directly with databases, which make them a potential target for
cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

Although Gaitame.Com regularly conducts third-party vulnerability
assessments of its web applications, correcting problems is a time
consuming process that requires code-level rewrites. SecureSphere
provides continuous protection and maintains business continuity for
Gaitame.Com applications, until any discovered vulnerabilities can be
eliminated.

"In Foreign Exchange transactions, slow application response times
translate into financial losses for users. As a result, performance
was a key selection criteria for choosing a Web Application Firewall,"
said Kazuyoshi Hirose, IT infrastructure manager for Gaitame.Com Co.,
Ltd. "SecureSphere met our performance requirements, was easy to
deploy, and did not impose any changes to our existing network
configuration. We are very impressed with its Dynamic Profiling
capability, which operates without human intervention and eliminates
management and maintenance burdens associated with competing products
we evaluated."

"Foreign Exchange trading is one of the most demanding application
environments for any technology, and especially for an in-line attack
protection device like a Web Application Firewall," said Michael Lyu,
vice president of Asia Pacific sales for Imperva. "Gaitame.Com's
selection of Imperva reinforces what over 350 leading global
organizations have found - that SecureSphere delivers unmatched
scalability, performance and ease of use required to support the most
demanding business applications on the Internet."
