Imperva is a leading provider of cyber security solutions that protect business-critical data and applications in the cloud and on-premises.

With 80-90% of data being unstructured and created in the cloud , Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is becoming essential for organizations to understand what data they have, what the risks are to their sensitive data, and understand the journey data takes in their business environment. While this initial visibility and understanding about data and data risks are valuable, it's what comes next that helps you to achieve an outcome for a particular use case. 

Join our featured speakers, Todd Moore, Thales VP of Data Security, and featured speaker Heidi Shey, principal analyst, Forrester, as they discuss how organizations must evaluate automated data security technologies like data security posture management to track and protect data throughout its life cycle.

Attendees will learn:
• Where to look for security gaps in your organization’s current data protection strategy
• Which data security use cases should be prioritized for successful DSPM adoption
• Why DSPM needs to go beyond cloud-centric visibility and native controls
• How artificial intelligence (AI) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) will impact your data security strategy.
• Plus, Todd Moore will share how Thales can help your team and organization proactively protect your most critical data and prioritize risk mitigation.

Whether you are planning a deployment or refining your current data security strategy, you’ll gain actionable steps to drive better security outcomes and maximize value.

From Visibility to Value: Leveraging DSPM to Safeguard the Data Lifecycle

The holiday shopping season brings record traffic, but also record cyberattacks. From DDoS disruptions and API abuse to credential stuffing, scalper bots, and account takeovers, online retailers are prime targets during peak demand.

Discover how an integrated, automated approach to application security helps you maintain uptime, safeguard data, and deliver a smooth, and secure shopping experience at scale, even when the queues are virtual.

Join Alex Bakshtein, Global Solution Architect, Cybersecurity & Digital Identity (Thales), to explore how Thales Imperva’s Application Security Platform, which combines Web Application Firewall (WAF), Advanced Bot Protection, Account Takeover Protection, API Security, DDoS Mitigation, and Waiting Room capabilities, and how they help retailers protect performance, availability, and customer trust when it matters most.

Key Takeaways

1. Defend against malicious bots: Learn how Advanced Bot Protection stops scalpers, credential stuffers, and loyalty fraud attacks before they impact your customers.
2. Secure your APIs end-to-end: Understand how API discovery and protection prevent data exposure, abuse, and shadow API risks across retail ecosystems.
3. Stay resilient under DDoS pressure: See how Imperva’s layered defenses keep your sites fast, available, and customer-ready during traffic surges.

All WAAPed Up for the Holidays: Keeping Retail Websites Fast, Secure & Fraud-Free

Data security has shifted from being a bit-part player among a broader cybersecurity discussion to become a standalone discipline, assuming its logical place as the foundation of a wider, multi-tier cybersecurity posture. When organizations can map out and understand their data landscape, they are more confident in their security measures to defend it and reduce the risk of non-compliance —resulting in significant sanctions or penalties from regulators.
In 2026, data security is projected to be the most critical aspect of a digital asset strategy. Data security posture management (DSPM) can provide a firm foundation as your organization builds out transformation projects, including AI and Quantum. 

Join our speakers as we discuss Omdia’s assessment of the DSPM market, qualified vendors, and real-world use cases, including:
• How Omdia defines DSPM into two capability areas: data security and posture management.
• Why AI and quantum introduce new complexities to IT and the DSPM infrastructure.
• What to look for when selecting a vendor.
• How Thales can help build customer-centric business value.

Bad Bots in 2025: The Growing Business Risk You Can’t Ignore

It started with a forgotten API key.  

A fast-growing company launched a new mobile app—sleek design, flawless UX. But buried in the backend was a hardcoded API key accidentally pushed to a public repo. Within days, attackers exploited the key to exfiltrate customer data and disrupt operations. The breach was traced not to a firewall failure, but to a secrets management oversight and unmonitored APIs. 

This scenario isn’t rare—it’s the new normal. As businesses race to deliver seamless digital experiences, APIs are becoming the backbone of digital transformation—and secrets like API keys, credentials, and certificates are the keys to your kingdom. As organizations expand their digital ecosystems, the risks associated with exposed or mismanaged secrets and insecure APIs have grown exponentially. 

Join us for an insightful webinar where experts from Thales and Imperva will explore how integrating Thales CipherTrust Secrets Management with Imperva API Security delivers a powerful, layered defense strategy. You’ll learn how this combined solution helps organizations: 

* Protect sensitive secrets across hybrid and multi-cloud environments 
* Discover and secure all APIs—including shadow and zombie APIs 
* Enforce least privilege and Zero Trust access controls 
* Achieve visibility, compliance, and continuous risk reduction 

Whether you're a security architect, DevOps lead, or compliance officer, this session will equip you with practical insights to better secure your APIs and manage secrets at scale. 

Register now and learn how to prevent the breach before it happens.
