Even with a small team, stable security can be implemented across the entire company site.
We currently use this product on over 50 websites, and it reliably blocks access from malicious bots. As a result, the unnecessary load on our servers has been reduced, which has helped mitigate security risks. In terms of implementation, we were able to deploy it internally in just 1-2 weeks per site. While we still have many sites that haven't adopted it yet, we feel that this ease of use will make future expansion easier. We also highly appreciate the excellent support we receive, and the ability to continuously consult with them about strengthening security while using the system. Furthermore, we have multiple overseas locations and receive a certain amount of access from abroad, but the CDN's delivery performance remains stable, contributing to improved availability of our web services. Overall, we are very satisfied with this product.
