Cyber Security Cloud and Serverworks, an APN Premium Consulting Partner, Enter into an Agency Agreement in the US to Promote Further Overseas Business Development of AI-based AWS WAF Automation Service "WafCharm".

Cyber Security Cloud, Inc., announced today that it has signed an agency agreement for the AWS WAF automation service "WafCharm" in the United States with Serverworks Co., Ltd., a cloud integrator with a leading track record of introducing AWS (Amazon Web Services) in Japan.

"WafCharm" provided by Cyber Security Cloud is a service for automation of AWS WAF operations using AI. It is equipped with an AI engine "WRAO" (Patent No. 6375047) that automatically selects the most optimal WAF rules for each user using machine learning, based on over a trillion rows of Big Data. It is available to over a million AWS users in 190 countries.

In September 2018, Cyber Security Cloud established a subsidiary in Seattle, USA, as a strategic base for overseas expansion, developing cybersecurity services centered on WafCharm, with the aim of strengthening sales in the North American region, which has a large global market for cybersecurity.

This time, in order to further strengthen overseas business development, Cyber Security Cloud entered into a sales agency agreement in the US with Serverworks, a cloud integrator with a leading track record of introducing AWS in Japan, that has been expanding its services in California, a concentration of IT companies since 2017. Cyber Security Cloud and ServerWorks have already concluded a distributor agreement in Japan since October 2018, and with the existing track record and the promising performance of WafCharm overseas, this agreement was concluded.

"With this agreement as a foothold, we are looking forward to continue to promote further business expansion of the two companies in the United States", said Hikaru Ohno, President and CEO of Cyber Security Cloud.
