Rakuten Mobile becomes Japan's first MSSP
partner with Cloudflare to empower corporate clients with Zero
Trust security solutions
Rakuten Mobile Inc., Japan’s newest and most
modern mobile network, and Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the
leading connectivity cloud company, today announced a strategic
partnership to deliver Zero Trust as a managed service to its
corporate clients. Through the new Managed Security Service
Provider (MSSP) partnership, Rakuten Mobile and Cloudflare will
support Japanese corporate clients’ security measures and
accelerate safe, seamless digital transformations. Starting today,
Rakuten Mobile will offer Cloudflare’s Zero Trust and Network
Services as a managed service, protecting corporate devices and
data in remote work and cloud environments, providing them with a
one-stop solution from implementation to operation.
Hybrid work complexities and a dynamic threat landscape are
challenging Japanese businesses. In the first quarter of 2025,
Cloudflare's security measures prevented an average of 385 million
cyber threats in Japan every single day, with the top targeted
industries being Retail, Gaming and Gambling, Information
Technology and Services, and Telecommunications. Cloudflare and
Rakuten Mobile have identified a need among small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) to make Zero Trust network security more
accessible — seeing first-hand how IT managers and decision-makers
in mid-sized companies have been underserved by traditional
enterprise cybersecurity offerings. While these businesses are just
as vulnerable to cyber threats as their larger peers, they often
lack access to the appropriate level of cybersecurity
resources.
Zero Trust is a security framework based on the principle of
”never trust, always verify,” requiring continuous authentication
for all access and promoting a secure network environment.
Cloudflare's Zero Trust supports security measures for a wide range
of organizations, from corporations and enterprises to governments,
protecting them from cyber threats. Implementing thorough access
authentication and strengthening data protection, both inside and
outside the network, helps prevent unauthorized access and secure
internal and external communications. This cybersecurity model
enables flexible work styles like remote work, while regular
network and system monitoring and log management eases the burden
of security operations.
Today, companies across Japan can add Cloudflare cybersecurity
to their existing services from Rakuten Mobile, without needing
in-house security expertise. Through this partnership, Rakuten
Mobile is enabled as an authorized Managed Security Service
Provider to manage the provision of, access to, and use of
Cloudflare Zero Trust and Network Security services in a fully
managed environment. Rakuten Mobile enables corporate clients to
easily set up their network environment and security measures in a
one-stop shop, providing the service in a package with Rakuten
Mobile's ultra-high-speed Internet service, KOSOKU Access,
including expert setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance
support. The companies’ cloud-native networks operate within a
single platform, to deliver highly efficient managed security
services.
“We believe Cloudflare is the only company offering a broad
range of network security and SASE services through a unified
platform built on our own infrastructure, delivering the most
comprehensive set of managed solutions. Service providers like
Rakuten Mobile are fundamental to extending critical security
protections and we are thrilled to be partnering to protect
businesses in Japan,” said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at
Cloudflare. “As demand for managed security services grows,
Cloudflare's connectivity cloud platform is set to enable partners
to deliver cost-effective, scalable cybersecurity. By combining
Cloudflare’s global infrastructure and operational efficiencies
with Rakuten Mobile’s regional expertise, we’re empowering
businesses in Japan to strengthen their security posture while
controlling costs.”
"Rakuten Mobile is thrilled to partner with Cloudflare to offer
enhanced security services to our corporate clients in Japan,” said
Kazuhiro Suzuki, Co-CEO of Rakuten Mobile. “By combining
Cloudflare's solutions with our comprehensive network services and
support, we will empower our clients' digital transformation with a
one-stop solution for network and security. Through this
initiative, we aim to deliver a secure and reliable infrastructure
environment for our corporate clients.”

Security to their existing services with Rakuten Mobile. To learn
