As part of our commitment to building a future-facing network, Imperva recently launched our Next Generation Architecture in the WDC - Ashburn 2, VA PoP with improved capacity, connectivity, and services. This PoP is replacing our currently operational PoP in IAD – Ashburn, VA. Imperva will be migrating all services and customer traffic from our IAD PoP to our WDC PoP, and decommissioning our IAD PoP during a scheduled maintenance window which will begin at Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 at 02:00 UTC, completing by Wednesday, July 29th, 2026 at 06:00 UTC.
For Cloud WAF customers, Imperva will reroute traffic to an unaffected PoP in the region for the duration of the maintenance, with no expected interruption to Cloud WAF services. At the end of the maintenance, traffic will be serviced by the new PoP.
DDoS Protection for Networks customers must ensure that the advertisement of their ranges via an alternate connection such as GRE tunnels or Cross-Connects is in place prior to the start of maintenance to avoid interruption of service. At the end of the maintenance, DDoS Protection traffic will be serviced by the new PoP. If Performance Monitoring is enabled on the connections, you will notice a change in the IP address of the PM servers that are sending ICMP echo messages. This might require you to modify ACL/firewall configurations to allow ICMP traffic from the new IPs.
