Cyber Security Cloud, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Toshihiro Koike; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), a global security manufacturer, has revamped its Cloud-based WAF "Shadankun" web security type and DDoS security type, and has begun offering them as "Web Security Type Neo" and "DDoS Security Type Neo," respectively.

In addition to enhanced defense capabilities against increasingly sophisticated and diverse attacks, we have strengthened our operational management functions and added new pricing plans. This makes our pricing structure more accessible even for small to medium-sized websites. As the No. 1 security manufacturer in Japan (*1), we will continue to deliver advanced security measures to even more customers' websites.

■ Development Background
With the spread of AI technology and the increasing complexity of attack methods, cyberattacks targeting web applications are becoming more sophisticated and diverse year by year, with DDoS attacks and attacks exploiting bots being particularly on the rise and becoming more refined. As business activities and customer interactions become increasingly digitized, these attacks can directly lead to service disruptions and data breaches, requiring responses to threats that cannot be contained by conventional countermeasures alone.

To address these threats, it is crucial that our solutions are readily available to all customers, regardless of company size. Therefore, we have expanded our pricing plans to accommodate a wider range of customers, and have launched "Web Security Type Neo" and "DDoS Security Type Neo," next-generation versions of our "Shadankun" solution with enhanced detection, prevention, and operational management features. In addition, "DDoS Security Type Neo" features improved DDoS attack and bot countermeasures, enhancing our ability to respond to increasingly sophisticated and diverse threats.

■ About the new pricing plan

Until now, the unlimited website plan for "Shadankun" (Web/DDoS Security Type) was designed for relatively large-scale traffic environments. Therefore, even if small to medium-sized websites wanted to prepare for attacks by utilizing features such as IP restrictions, GeoIP restrictions, and custom WAF rule settings, the cost was a barrier, making it difficult to implement full-fledged security measures.
With the addition of new pricing plans starting from 20Mbps, even in smaller traffic environments, you can leverage features such as IP restriction, GeoIP restriction, and custom WAF rule settings to strengthen your attack countermeasures tailored to your specific environment.

■ Strengthening defense capabilities against increasingly sophisticated and diverse attacks
To cope with increasingly sophisticated and diverse attacks, we have enhanced the detection and defense capabilities of "Shadankun." The main improvements are as follows:

-Enhanced DDoS attack protection: We have strengthened our ability to defend against the increasing and large-scale DDoS attacks targeting web applications, ensuring the stable operation of your website (*2).
-Implementation of bot prevention rules: By providing new bot prevention rules, we will be able to reliably identify and block malicious bot access that would overload the website (*2).
-Instant reflection of IP restriction and GeoIP restriction functions: Settings for IP restriction and GeoIP restriction, which block access from specific IP addresses or countries/regions, can be reflected instantly from the management screen, enabling faster protection (*3).

■Includes numerous new features to streamline WAF operation.
Post-implementation operation of a WAF is also crucial. We have enhanced features to reduce the operational burden and make configuration and management more efficient. The main new features are as follows:

-SSL certificate issuance and automatic renewal: You can issue Let's Encrypt SSL certificates from the management screen. Issued SSL certificates are automatically renewed, reducing the hassle of managing expiration dates and performing renewal tasks.
-Revamped management screen and bandwidth visualization: The management screen allows you to check trends in detected and blocked attacks, as well as traffic volume, making it easier to visualize and understand operational and traffic conditions.
• Enhanced access control: Access permissions, such as viewing and modifying data, can be finely configured on a per-user or per-group basis, according to the role of the person in charge. Furthermore, access rights can be granted for each FQDN (site) (*3), preventing accidental or unauthorized access to sites outside of one's assigned area and ensuring a secure operational system.
