The implementation of Incapsula need never be a complex nor lengthy project. There is nothing to install or commission, and only a DNS setting change is required to re-direct traffic through Incapsula. Indeed, some clients have approached Imperva whilst under attack, and have been up and running in less than 1hr (the record is 15mins). Prospects often ask for a draft implementation plan, and there is the risk of disappointment that Imperva does not respond with a weighty document using MS Project and RASIC charts; and there is often an expectation that such a valuable and important service must surely take weeks or months to plan, configure, implement, etc. However, the reality is genuinely simple and can be summarised is a few sentences, below:
Significant tasks include:
a) 1-2hr planning session to agree roll-out plan and confirm any non-standard configuration settings.
b) Client provides a list of the website names to be on-boarded
c) Availability of client representative with knowledge and authority to make DNS changes for target website[s], and to manage SSL certificates.
d) 2hr/half-day session to familiarise client with management console/GUI
e) 1-2hr hand-holding session during switch-over of live websites to the Incapsula system. - Service documentation

Application delivery Rules are a fundamental part of modern application delivery platforms/services, whether it’s a CDN or a load balancer (ADC).
These rules are used to control and manipulate requests or responses according to predefined behaviors.
What can be done.
Switch content and redirect users based on layer 7 attributes, such as URL patterns, cookies, HTTP headers, and client classification attributes
Improve user experience and SEO ranking by rewriting relative and dynamic URLs to clean customer-facing URLs
Offload connections and reduce round trip times between your web server and other backend servers
Leverage Incapsula client classification to identify bad bots and redirect them to a special site or server with fake content
Define rules based on client behavior, using customizable rate thresholds for various parameters
Implement backend logic without changing application code
Extend role-based control to non-technical users

As opposed to other cloud service providers who only provide a service but use 3rd party technologies Incapsula developed all the technologies it’s using from scratch and only uses standard servers and routers (no 3rd party technologies). This allows much more flexibility and rapid reaction to new threats and attack vectors (we do not have to wait for updates and patches – we do them ourselves instantaneously).
In order to fight today’s sophisticated and constantly changing attack patterns wehave Incapsula’s 24x7 SOC - manned with security experts that can handle any attack in real time. - Protective monitoring type
