(NASDAQ: IMPV), a leading global provider of best-in-class cybersecurity solutions on premises, in the cloud, and across hybrid environments, announced it completed its acquisition of Prevoty, Inc. a leader in Runtime Application Self-Protection, on Thursday, August 9.

“We are excited to welcome the Prevoty team to Imperva,” said Chris Hylen, president and CEO of Imperva. “Together we will set the bar for application and data protection while also advancing our mission, strategy and priorities.
