Case Study: Yayoi boosts cloud accounting security with Akamai

Yayoi strengthens cloud security for 3.1 million users with Akamai

Yayoi Co., Ltd., a provider of accounting software and cloud services for small businesses, faced the challenge of securing sensitive customer accounting data as it expanded its cloud offerings. Their existing security solutions struggled with uptime and support, making it difficult to ensure 24/7 protection against evolving threats like bot attacks and web skimming, especially given the strict requirements from financial institution partners.

Akamai Technologies provided a comprehensive security solution including App & API Protector (formerly Kona Site Defender), Bot Manager, and Client-Side Protection & Compliance. This integrated approach from Akamai improved security and operability while reducing administrative overhead. The results included a high-availability environment that reliably prevents cyberattacks, visualized threats for better management reporting, and allowed Yayoi to standardize and raise security levels across its diverse applications with the support of Akamai's close customer service.
