カジノゲーム Signs First Reseller Agreement in Japan with U.S.-based Cequence Security

ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Tatsushi Shingu, President and CEO; hereinafter "カジノゲーム") has signed the first reseller agreement in Japan with Cequence Security, Inc. (headquartered in California, the U.S.; Ameya Talwalkar, CEO; hereinafter “Cequence”), a pioneer in API (Application Programming Interface) security and bot management. Starting from today, カジノゲーム will provide Cequence's API security platform, which visualizes and monitors APIs and protects them against threats, and the "Managed API Security Assessment Service," which proposes secure API environments through analysis of the current state of API security and visualization of vulnerabilities by utilizing this platform. We will offer them mainly to the telecommunications, financial services and government agency sectors and aim to achieve sales of 500 million yen over the next three years.

As more and more companies have shifted to the cloud and adopted virtualization technologies, APIs, that integrate functions of different software and services in application development, facilitate the implementation of their complex functions, reducing development time and cost. However, the increasing number of APIs for integration with external services elevates the risk of unauthorized access to critical data and systems, requiring a platform for thorough visualization and management of APIs and appropriate security measures.

Cequence’ユースカジノ スロット visualizes the entire systems of users, including shadow APIs integrated by their employees without authorization, and provides comprehensive solutions, ranging from real-time monitoring to threat defense and mitigation. Utilizing AI (machine learning), it also addresses unknown malicious integrations made via APIs. The platform addresses vulnerabilities on the OWASP Top 10^*1ユースカジノ スロット of web applications and complies with the PCI DSS^*2, the security standard for credit cards, protecting against API data leaks and unauthorized accesses in various environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid settings. カジノゲーム's engineers will take care of the initial settings for API security, supporting API security management throughout the API lifecycle, from deployment, implementation and publishing to retirement.

The Managed API Security Assessment Service is a diagnosis service utilizing Cequence's API security platform. カジノゲーム’s engineers talk with customers to identify what are connected via API in the customers’ systems and issues, and visualize their API security risks. They uncover potential cyber-attack surfaces, analyze threats in API connections, and consider risk mitigation measures, based on which we offer various countermeasures tailored to each customer needs, including deployment of the API security platform. A range of menu options are available, such as listing API connections in their systems and conducting security tests.

Going forward, we plan to expユースカジノ スロット menu options to include offering outsourcing operation services for the API security platform to contribute to enhancement of the security of customer systems.
