This will enable more companies to take measures to protect their important information assets from cyberattacks that target vulnerabilities in web applications.

Background of the Sales Agency Agreement
In recent years, web security measures have become an urgent issue as companies continue to undergo digital transformation (DX). While corporate activities are increasingly moving online, the risk of becoming a target of cyber attacks is also increasing. In particular, information leaks that exploit website vulnerabilities and DDoS attacks that cause service outages are on the rise. Protecting your company's confidential information and customer information from such threats is an indispensable management issue regardless of the size of your company.
Based on our philosophy of "creating a cyberspace that can be used safely and securely by people around the world," we aim to contribute to solving society's security issues. Through this enhanced collaboration with Sakura Internet, we will smoothly provide "Shadankun", which has the No.1(*1) track record in Japan, to a wide range of customers using the highly reliable "Sakura Cloud", and strongly support customers' information security measures. By combining the strengths of the two companies, we are confident that we can contribute to the spread of a stronger digital infrastructure and improve the security of Japan's digital society as a whole.
