Cyber Security Cloud, Inc. (Head Office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshihiro Koike; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is pleased to announce that its Vulnerability Assessment Service will be available as a security option for the WordPress hosting service of Digital Cube, Inc. (Head Office: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; President and CEO: Oga Hiromichi; hereinafter referred to as "Digital Cube"), a company that operates a business centered around WordPress.

DigitalCube has developed "Amimoto" and "Shifter", WordPress-specific solutions that run on AWS, and has provided stable hosting services to a wide range of customers, from large corporations to small and medium-sized businesses. Currently, WordPress is the leading CMS, accounting for approximately one-third of all websites, and as it becomes more popular, both hosting services and demand are continuing to increase. However, issues have been pointed out, such as vulnerabilities caused by delayed version updates and security risks due to the use of proprietary APIs. Against this backdrop, the need for application-level security measures is increasing year by year among companies using the company's services.
With the launch of this option, DigitalCube is now able to provide safe and secure security measures to its customers through our Vulnerability Assessment Service. This will expand security options for WordPress operations, making it possible to create a more robust security environment. We will continue to contribute to improving website safety by providing services that respond to the latest threats.

[Comment from Hiromichi Oga, CEO of DigitalCube Inc.]
Our WordPress hosting services, "Amimoto" and "Shifter," are used by many customers, but in recent years the need for security measures has been rapidly increasing. We are pleased to be able to provide our customers with a more robust security solution through this collaboration with industry-leading Cyber Security Cloud. We will strive to further improve the safety of the WordPress usage environment and create an environment where customers can focus on their business with peace of mind.

[Comment from Yoji Watanabe Representative Director, CTO Cyber Security Cloud, Inc.]
Our vulnerability assessment service includes plans to detect API-specific vulnerabilities and risks specific to web applications, and is highly compatible with the security needs of customers who use WordPress. We are honored to partner with DigitalCube, a leader in WordPress hosting, to provide a safe and secure environment for more WordPress users. We will continue to work hard to respond to new threats and appropriately deal with security risks that increase year by year.
