Moreover, Imperva impressed us with superior technical support throughout the evaluation and deployment process."

"Bclear is one of Euronext.liffe's key operational systems for trade registration of equity wholesale derivatives," said Shlomo Kramer, founder and CEO of Imperva. "AEMS' decision to deploy SecureSphere to secure this core business application for their client is a powerful validation of the superiority of our technology and the fact that it imposes zero impact on the performance of production systems."
