Tokyo – September 17, 2024 – Cequence, a pioneer in API security and bot management
Security (Headquarters: California, USA, Representative Director and CEO: Ameya Talwalker (hereinafter referred to as Cequence) today announced that Geotechnologies Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director), a leader in digital map solutions in Japan,
CEO: Yoichiro Yatsurugi announced the introduction of Geotechnologies. This partnership marks the first example of enterprise-grade API security in Japan. Sequence Unified
API Protection (UAP)
By integrating the platforms, Geotechnologies dramatically strengthens its API protection and threat detection capabilities, setting a new standard for security in the Japanese market.
Geotechnologies was concerned about sophisticated attacks targeting its API and compromising sensitive data. The company needed a robust solution that could accurately detect and protect against threats that traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) couldn’t handle. Sequence was the only solution that offered real-time native mitigation in addition to blocking via WAF.
Implementing Cequence’s solution was critical to addressing these challenges. The platform’s advanced capabilities have enabled Geotechnologies to visualize and effectively mitigate threats, providing a strong return on investment. Seamless integration and no performance impact or development delays further solidified our decision to choose Cequence.
Tsukasa Enomoto, CISO of Geotechnologies, said: “Sequence”
Security has become an essential asset in strengthening our API protection strategy. Cequence’s visibility and advanced threat detection capabilities not only strengthen our security, but are also effectively integrated into our overall strategy. Solutions like Cequence are essential to staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring strong security. ”
* Key benefits realized by Geotechnologies through Cequence: * ・ * Accurate threat detection: * Highly accurate identification and countermeasures of API threats that may have been overlooked or unmitigated by traditional WAF.
・ * Strengthening security measures: * Strengthening security posture and increasing resistance to data leaks and API attacks
* High ROI: * Blocks thousands of API attacks, including unauthorized use, ensuring strong unauthorized access protection while achieving rapid return on investment within 4 months
* Seamless integration: * Easy to deploy with no performance impact or development delays, no integration into applications or installation on servers.
Ameya, CEO of Cequence
Talwalker said: “APIs are essential to modern technology and digital interactions. Geotechnologies’ adoption of our platform confirms the growing need for professional API security solutions. We are proud to be the first to offer this in Japan and look forward to expanding our influence in the region.”

*About Geotechnologies*
Geotechnologies has been consistently providing digital maps since its founding in 1994. The following year, the map software “MapFan” was released. Since then, we have been one of the first to provide AD/ADAS maps, which are essential for realizing highly automated driving, including Japan’s first i-mode map, car navigation systems, map data for corporations, and location information solutions.
In addition, through contact with users of applications such as the poi-katsu app “Torima” released in 2021, it is possible to grasp real-world situation “insights” such as people’s movement and the consciousness behind it in real time. I’m starting to be able to do it.
Geotechnologies combines vast amounts of big data, including the flow of people, with geospatial data that has been maintained for approximately 30 years, and analyzes it using cutting-edge technology to provide “insights of this moment.” We aim to contribute to society by providing a more comfortable and sustainable world.
