In this latest episode of the Imperva Brand Story on ITSP Magazine, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down with Terry Ray, CTO for Data Security at Imperva. Together, they discuss the pressing challenges and transformative innovations shaping the future of safeguarding information.
Unpacking Data Security Posture Management
Terry Ray introduces Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), comparing it to inspecting a home—where identifying vulnerabilities is just as important as fixing them. He emphasizes that data security requires constant vigilance, urging organizations to develop a deep understanding of their infrastructure while staying agile against emerging threats.
Moving Beyond Compliance to Real Security
The conversation highlights the often-misunderstood relationship between compliance and genuine security. While meeting regulatory requirements is necessary, Terry argues that true data protection requires a broader, risk-based approach, addressing vulnerabilities in both regulated and non-regulated systems to prepare for audits and unforeseen breaches.
The Power of Automation and Machine Learning
Terry underscores Imperva's dedication to leveraging advanced automation, AI, and machine learning technologies to process vast data sets and detect threats proactively. By adopting innovative strategies, companies can transition from reactive to proactive measures in protecting their digital ecosystems.
Fostering Collaboration and Security Awareness
A standout point from the discussion is the importance of collaboration across organizational roles—from compliance officers to database managers and security teams. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and teamwork, businesses can better allocate resources and adapt to evolving security priorities.
Embracing Security's Ever-Changing Nature
The conversation concludes with a powerful reflection on the unpredictable nature of cybersecurity. As new threats and technologies emerge, organizations must remain adaptable, forward-thinking, and prepared for the unexpected to stay ahead in an ever-changing security landscape.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
