The Challenge
Partner Agent Inc., a leading innovator in the marriage services industry, was faced with the challenge of ensuring absolute security for its new B2B business initiatives. The company needed a security system that could be implemented with limited human resources, yet robust enough to safeguard web access and protect their extremely important customer information. The company was also looking for a reputable security vendor that could put their partners at ease. As the company expanded into B2B, it became imperative to have a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that offered absolute security. The company was entrusted with extremely personal details about its clients, making it crucial to have a reliable IT system as part of its business infrastructure. As the business underwent rapid expansion, the number of new features provided and their constant upgrading gave rise to new problems.

The company has a corporate philosophy of 'Bringing more smiles and more happiness to the world' and continues to create high added value in the industry. Partner Agent has shaken up the industry with considerable acclaim as being number one in the industry for its high success rate and exceeding customer satisfaction levels. The company’s rapid advancement is due to its concierge service comprising of supervisors with special coaching skills, and its web-based service platform.
The Solution
Partner Agent Inc. adopted Imperva’s Universal User Tracking (UUT) solution, which consisted of the Imperva SecureSphere WAF and Database Activity Monitoring (DAM). This solution provided integrated security, covering everything from web access up through database access. The UUT feature in Imperva’s SecureSphere allowed the company to manage web access and database access by tying them together. The core component of this feature, DAM, not only provided database access logs, but also issued alerts and blocked access in case of unauthorized access. This not only allowed the company to manage the access trail, but also made it possible to protect against information leaks from the database. On December 25, 2014, Partner Agent officially introduced Imperva SecureSphere and put it into actual operation as the security infrastructure for supporting its service platform.
Operational Impact
  • The adoption of Imperva’s UUT solution resulted in absolute web application and database security with optimum operating efficiency for Partner Agent Inc. The integrated web and database access monitoring provided by the solution instilled a feeling of trust among B2B enterprise partners regarding security. The solution also optimized access features using database access monitoring. The Imperva solution was able to block all security threats and alert the company immediately of any imminent danger without the need for constant monitoring. This allowed the company to provide highly reliable and easily managed security, even with limited resources, and protect critical customer data. The results gained by introducing Imperva SecureSphere were either as hoped or beyond expectation, and the company is now looking into further enhancing their system security for the future.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Imperva SecureSphere has proven itself to produce results that exceeded expectations in the last two and a half years.
  • Performance deterioration that arises when the volume of data increases rapidly to accommodate business expansion was quickly restored to the performance level.
  • Imperva solution provided integrated management of web access and database access monitoring logs, bringing greater operational efficiency and enhancing analysis speed and performance.
