As businesses embrace the cloud, their attack surface expands accordingly. Cloud workloads are built on APIs, and Cequence’s expertise in API security and bot management means the company and its products are uniquely positioned to protect those APIs and the workloads that depend on them.

AWS Security Competency

We’re proud to announce that Cequence has achieved the AWS Security Competency, adding to Cequence’s attainment of the AWS Retail Competency and WAF Ready and CloudFront Ready designations. The AWS Security Competency requires rigorous testing and proof of deep technical cybersecurity expertise, ensuring the partner is wholly capable of helping AWS customers meet their cybersecurity objectives.

The AWS Security Competency achievement validates Cequence’s expertise across seven categories of cybersecurity use cases: Perimeter Protection, Identity and Access Management, Threat Detection and Response, Infrastructure Protection, Data Protection, Compliance and Privacy, and Application Security. Each category encompasses multiple security categories with unique technical and operational requirements. The AWS Security Competency recognizes Cequence’s ability to provide innovative offerings that support cloud-forward organizations’ modernization efforts and to grow and evolve with their business.

Cequence’s CEO and co-founder, Ameya Talwalkar, noted, “This milestone reflects our dedication to empowering organizations to secure their API ecosystems. By harnessing the agility and innovation of AWS, we equip businesses to defend against sophisticated bot attacks and API abuse, allowing them to focus on growth and innovation with confidence. Together with AWS, we provide the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of API security, ensuring that organizations can operate resiliently and securely.”

Cequence, an AWS Partner Network (APN) member, is also an ISV Accelerate partner.
