AMTI and Cequence Security Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Cybersecurity Solutions in the Philippines
SANTA CLARA Calif. – March 5, 2025 – Cequence, a leader in API security and bot management, today announced a strategic partnership with AMTI, one of the Philippines’ leading technology solutions providers. This collaboration is set to deliver advanced API protection and managed threat defense solutions specifically designed to counter the evolving cyber threats in the local market.
Fraud continues to be a major challenge in our market, particularly as digital payments experience rapid growth,” said Kate Pugat, VP of cybersecurity at AMTI. “The Philippines’ economy is thriving, largely driven by cutting-edge apps, technology, and innovative payment systems. These rely heavily on APIs to function effectively. Our strategic partnership with Cequence is vital in addressing these challenges, providing robust, tailored security solutions that protect our clients’ digital assets and ensure operational resilience. By securing these critical APIs, we’re not just protecting individual businesses, we’re helping safeguard the entire economy.”
As organizations in the Philippines increasingly rely on APIs to drive innovation, safeguarding these critical digital assets has become paramount. Recognizing that each API ecosystem is unique, the AMTI–Cequence partnership offers a comprehensive approach to API discovery, compliance and robust protection. This initiative comes at a time when the demand for advanced security solutions is surging amid a noticeable rise in fraudulent activity targeting digital cash applications and Open Banking services.
Cequence’s API security solutions, including its Unified API Protection (UAP) platform and CQ Prime Managed Threat Protection Services, deliver real-time analysis that distinguishes genuine user activity from potential fraud. This proactive approach empowers financial institutions to mitigate risks before significant damage occurs. AMTI leverages its deep local expertise and an in-house team of Certified Cybersecurity Analysts (CCA’s) to deliver tailored, world-class security solutions. Following an extensive vendor review that began in April last year, AMTI chose Cequence for its innovative technology and proven threat protection capabilities.
These API security solutions are designed to address the challenges of diverse industries—including financial services, telecommunications and retail. In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, robust protection is essential to mitigate emerging cyber threats, prevent fraud, and maintain customer trust.
Glen Maloney, APJ Sales Leader of Cequence, stated, “Our collaboration with AMTI enables us to extend our advanced API security technology to enterprises throughout the Philippines. By combining our real-time threat protection capabilities with AMTI’s local expertise, we are equipping organizations with the tools necessary to prevent fraud, stay ahead of evolving cyber threats, and reinforce trust in an increasingly digital landscape.”
