Enterprise-Grade Application Security, Cloud-Native Speed: Introducing Imperva for Google Cloud
None
<p>In today’s dynamic digital environment, the pressure to innovate has never been greater. Development teams are pushing for native cloud tools to maximize performance and cost-efficiency, while security teams require best-of-breed, enterprise-grade protection to defend against an ever-evolving threat landscape. This often creates a point of friction, forcing organizations into a difficult trade-off: sacrifice performance for security, or accept weaker protections for the sake of speed.</p><p>To resolve this challenge, Thales Imperva is collaborating with Google Cloud to deliver a solution that helps bridge this gap. We are proud to introduce Imperva for Google Cloud (IGC), an integrated security solution that offers the best of both worlds: enterprise-grade application security with the cloud-native performance you expect from Google Cloud.</p><h2><strong>Imperva for Google Cloud: A Holistic, Integrated Solution</strong></h2><p>Imperva for Google Cloud is not just another security layer; it is a fully managed, best-in-class Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solution built directly into the fabric of Google Cloud. This integration, available now on Google Cloud Marketplace, provides robust protection without disrupting your existing infrastructure or workflows.</p><ul> <li><strong>Cloud-Native Performance Without Compromise:</strong> Imperva for Google Cloud uses Google Cloud’s native Service Extension and Private Service Connect to inspect traffic within the Google Cloud network. This means all traffic analysis happens without your data ever leaving Google Cloud infrastructure, preserving optimal latency, performance, and data residency.</li> <li><strong>Quick Deployment:</strong> Forget complex re-architecture. Imperva for Google Cloud can be deployed quickly using familiar tools like Terraform, Google Cloud CLI (gCloud CLI), or the Google Cloud console UI. There are no disruptive DNS, SSL, or network routing changes required, allowing you to achieve production-ready protection almost immediately.</li> <li><strong>Enterprise-Grade Protection Out of the Box:</strong> Imperva for Google Cloud is powered by Imperva’s industry-leading security engine, delivering comprehensive WAF, advanced API Security, and Account Bot Protection. Backed by 24/7 threat research, the Imperva solution provides near-zero false positives, with 97% of customers successfully using default policies and 95% running in blocking mode from day one. This dramatically reduces the operational overhead of constant rule tuning.</li> </ul><h2><strong>Real-World Impact: Securely Accelerating Your Business</strong></h2><p>By eliminating the trade-offs between security and performance, Imperva for Google Cloud helps organizations achieve key business outcomes:</p><ul> <li><strong>Accelerate Lift-and-Shift Migrations:</strong> Migrate workloads to Google Cloud confidently with security that adapts to your applications, not the other way around. Eliminate migration delays caused by complex security re-architecture.</li> <li><strong>Unleash DevOps-Friendly Security:</strong> Empower development teams to innovate at speed. IGC closes the security gaps in built-in tools without slowing down deployment velocity or requiring developers to become security experts.</li> <li><strong>Protect Modern Cloud-Native Applications:</strong> Secure your Kubernetes and microservices architectures with best-in-class defenses optimized for low-latency environments.</li> <li><strong>Achieve Unified Multi-Cloud Governance:</strong> Manage security for all your Imperva-protected environments from a single, unified dashboard, providing consistent policy management and visibility across your entire multi-cloud estate.</li> </ul><p><em>“Bringing Thales Imperva to Google Cloud Marketplace will help customers quickly deploy, manage, and grow the company’s integrated security solution on Google Cloud’s trusted, global infrastructure,” said Dai Vu, Managing Director, Marketplace & ISV GTM Programs at Google Cloud. “Thales can now securely scale and support organizations that want to use its Imperva for Google Cloud solution to increase protection for their cloud-native applications, APIs, microservices and more.”</em></p><h2><strong>Join Us on the Journey to More Seamless Cloud Security</strong></h2><p>As we approach key industry events like our exclusive Executive Briefing Center (EBC) meeting in late March and Google Cloud Next 2026 in April, the conversation around integrated security has never been more relevant. The launch of Imperva for Google Cloud marks a pivotal moment in our relationship with Google, providing a clear path for customers to secure their digital assets without compromise.</p><p><strong>Ready to secure your cloud-native applications?</strong></p><ul> <li><strong>Request a demo</strong>: Experience IGC in action at <a href="https://www.imperva.com/products/imperva-for-google-cloud/">Imperva for Google Cloud</a></li> <li><strong>Start your evaluation</strong>: Available now on <a href="https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/cpl-vpop-p-mktp-global-02/ias4gc?project=workflow-test-474814&pli=1&login=true&ref=https:%2F%2Fstatics.teams.cdn.office.net%2F" rel="noopener">Google Cloud Marketplace</a></li> </ul><p>The post <a href="https://www.imperva.com/blog/enterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud/">Enterprise-Grade Application Security, Cloud-Native Speed: Introducing Imperva for Google Cloud</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.imperva.com/blog">Blog</a>.</p><div class="spu-placeholder" style="display:none"></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_20 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://securityboulevard.com/2026/04/enterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud/" data-a2a-title="Enterprise-Grade Application Security, Cloud-Native Speed: Introducing Imperva for Google Cloud"><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2026%2F04%2Fenterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud%2F&linkname=Enterprise-Grade%20Application%20Security%2C%20Cloud-Native%20Speed%3A%20Introducing%20Imperva%20for%20Google%20Cloud" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2026%2F04%2Fenterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud%2F&linkname=Enterprise-Grade%20Application%20Security%2C%20Cloud-Native%20Speed%3A%20Introducing%20Imperva%20for%20Google%20Cloud" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2026%2F04%2Fenterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud%2F&linkname=Enterprise-Grade%20Application%20Security%2C%20Cloud-Native%20Speed%3A%20Introducing%20Imperva%20for%20Google%20Cloud" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2026%2F04%2Fenterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud%2F&linkname=Enterprise-Grade%20Application%20Security%2C%20Cloud-Native%20Speed%3A%20Introducing%20Imperva%20for%20Google%20Cloud" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2026%2F04%2Fenterprise-grade-application-security-cloud-native-speed-introducing-imperva-for-google-cloud%2F&linkname=Enterprise-Grade%20Application%20Security%2C%20Cloud-Native%20Speed%3A%20Introducing%20Imperva%20for%20Google%20Cloud" title="Email" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div><p class="syndicated-attribution">*** This is a Security Bloggers Network syndicated blog from <a href="https://www.imperva.com/blog/">Blog</a> authored by <a href="https://securityboulevard.com/author/0/" title="Read other posts by Ido Mantsur">Ido Mantsur</a>.
