A new strategic partnership and resale agreement between Kong and Imperva allows Imperva customers to directly license Kong Enterprise, a leading API management solution, while Kong customers can now utilize the Imperva API Security plugin within Kong Enterprise. This collaboration enables developers to robustly secure APIs and protect business applications and data from unauthorized access by integrating advanced security capabilities into their API development lifecycle. The Imperva API Security plugin provides comprehensive visibility into API calls, risk assessment, and preventative measures against potential attacks without impacting performance. It captures and inspects API calls, ensuring data control remains with the application owner, thereby enhancing security through encryption, authentication, and real-time schema discovery. This joint solution leverages the strengths of both companies to deliver reliable and secure API connections crucial for enterprise customers in the cloud-native era.
