Release and Update: Imperva Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) Q1 2021 - v14.4.1.10

WAF-DAM Separation: As of v14.4, what were previously WAF and DAM have been split into two completely separate releases. This is the first release of Imperva DAM. Imperva DAM includes: Management Server Manager (SOM); the MX; Gateways; Agents; Discovery and Assessment Server (DAS).
With this DAM-only release, you cannot upgrade under the following conditions:

• You have a Gateway that supports both WAF and DAM
• You have an MX that is managing both DAM and WAF Gateways:
• In this initial release, if you have an MX that only manages DAM but has a license for both DAM and WAF, you can upgrade
• In future releases, you will need an MX with a DAM-only license in order to upgrade
• You have a SOM that is managing both DAM and WAF MXs
• In this initial release, if you have a SOM MX that only manages DAM MXs but has a license for both DAM and WAF MXs, you can upgrade
• In future releases, you will need a SOM with a DAM-only license in order to upgrade
