The new service, says Imperva, aims to assist enterprises to greatly mitigate the risk of a serious data breach on their IT systems.
According to Henk Jan Spanjaard, Imperva's vice president of EMEA, DAS helps companies to overcome the challenge of data classification in order to achieve rock-solid data security.
"The service has four main features to achieve data security which are mapping databases on the network, identifying where sensitive data lives, providing a comprehensive vulnerability assessment and producing a report based on a data risk analysis", he said.
Commenting on the new European services, Ariel Avitan, a research analyst with Frost & Sullivan, said that the security market has good solutions in regards to protecting data but has a major need for solutions that can discover data elements in large organisations.
"Solutions like DAS close the gap and offer a full overview of the data within the organisation, making it easier to protect the organisation from painful data breaches", he said.
Imperva says that the DAS offering consists of four main features: mapping databases on the network; identifying where sensitive data lives; vulnerability assessment; and data risk analysis.
In the final phase of the engagement, Imperva says its team will provide a complete report of the risk associated with each data asset based on data sensitivity and the level of platform and database exposure.
