Case Study: Sony Music Group (Japan) achieves consistent security and improved performance across 500+ websites with Cloudflare

Sony Music Group - Customer Case Study

Sony Music Group (Japan), centered on Sony Music Entertainment Inc., spans around 20 companies and manages over 500 websites delivering music, animation and apps to millions of users (about 8 million requests and 400+ GB of content per month). Faced with fragmented, operator-level security, growing personal data handling, and the need for consistent, zero-trust gateway protection across multi-cloud and hybrid environments without vendor lock-in, they needed a single, fast, centrally managed security solution.

They chose Cloudflare, deploying its WAF and centralized log monitoring to rapidly detect and block threats and standardize policies. Results were immediate: the WAF blocked more than 400 attacks on a single site in one day while improving performance and user stability, and Sony Music Group is expanding the rollout and exploring additional Cloudflare services (like Bot Management) to support wider digital initiatives.
