Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- 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.
