Case Study: Paidy achieves continuous full API testing and 50% pen-test savings with APIsec

How Paidy Cut Their Pen Testing Budget in Half With APIsec

Paidy, a Japanese postpaid online payments platform, needed full API security testing coverage on every release, continuous testing of integrations, and faster ticketing for developers. Facing limited internal resources and only annual manual pen tests that left long vulnerability windows, Paidy engaged APIsec — an AI-based automated and continuous API testing platform — to close their API security gaps.

APIsec created custom security tests, ran them continuously (or on demand) after every update, triaged and interpreted results into actionable findings, and integrated those findings directly into Paidy’s developer workflows (including automatic ticket creation), with RBAC and hands-on training. As a result, Paidy achieved complete API-based testing on every release, an audit trail for each security check, immediate detection of vulnerabilities, and roughly a 50% reduction in their manual pen-test budget.
