“I’ve worked with Imperva for the last eight years, watching it grow into a leader in the data security space,” said Anthony McCusker, the co-chair of Goodwin Procter’s Technology Companies Group. “We look forward to continuing this relationship as Imperva builds on its successful IPO.” 

JP Morgan Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities acted as joint book-running managers for the offering, with RBC Capital Markets, Lazard Capital Markets and Pacific Crest Securities acting as co-managers.
