Challenge	Banco Popular Dominicano (BPD), a leading privately owned bank in the Dominican Republic, was facing challenges with its complex database environments. The databases were on separate servers, shared and consolidated due to the high cost of infrastructure. The existing solution was not meeting the bank's needs as it required too much time and resources to operate, and lacked the capacity to scale to meet the high demands of the production environment. The bank needed a solution that would not negatively affect any production process and could run without the need for additional equipment and personnel. Read More
About Customer	Banco Popular Dominicano (BPD) is the leading privately owned bank in the Dominican Republic and a subsidiary of the local financial group, Grupo Popular. BPD offers a range of financial services and products including checking and savings accounts, credit and debit cards, loans, investments, and insurance.

Solution	BPD began discussions with Multicomputos, a leading integrator in the Caribbean and Central America, to find a replacement for their current solution. The bank required robust database auditing and protection as critical business requirements, and needed a solution that was cost-effective, efficient, and would not impact production database performance. After evaluating Imperva SecureSphere, a data activity monitoring solution that continuously monitors data and account activity across the entire data estate, BPD decided to switch to Imperva. The decision was based on validation tests, a proof of concept, and a real-world production pilot, which showed that Imperva was the most efficient and cost-effective solution. It worked better, was more detailed, faster, and significantly improved productivity. Read More Log in to view content
