The move is a part of Go Daddy's overall security measures initiative, which seeks to protect its website and all of its Quick Shopping Cart customers, which enables businesses to create and manage e-commerce sites. These stores securely accept PayPal and credit card payments, offer multiple shipping options and issue coupons.

By deploying SecureSphere, Go Daddy says it was able to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard deadline of June 30 for complying with requirement 6.6.

The mandate calls for WAF to be deployed or code review be performed to secure web applications that process payment card data.

Go Daddy offers a wide range of hosting solutions, website creation tools, SSL certificates, email and e-commerce tools.

The Quick Shopping Cart application enables businesses to create and manage e-commerce sites. The e-stores securely accept PayPal and credit card payments, offer multiple shipping options and issue coupons.

"We understand the need of top level security for our customers and ourselves," says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. "We chose Imperva SecureSphere because we believe they are the very best. Protecting our customers and keeping the Internet safe is a top priority at Go Daddy."

The SecureSphere Web Application Firewall enables businesses to effectively maintain control over critical data, while providing secure and transparent protection for Web applications. 

Using patent pending Dynamic Profiling technology, the firewall automatically builds a model of legitimate behavior and adapts to application changes over time. It protects the complete application stack, from the individual application to the server and network.

Imperva's Transparent Inspection technology delivers multi-gigabit performance, sub-millisecond latency and options for high availability that meet demanding data center requirements. For large scale deployments, the SecureSphere MX Management Server centralizes and streamlines configuration, monitoring, and reporting across multiple appliances.

In March, intrusion prevention solution provider TippingPoint began using Go Daddy SSL certificates.
