At Thales and Imperva, we are driven by our commitment to make the world safer, and nothing brings us more satisfaction than protecting our customers from daily cybersecurity threats. But that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate winning the occasional award. In the year since Imperva joined forces with Thales, let’s review the cybersecurity industry accolades and recognition we’ve both received this year.
