Challenges

White-hat hacker’s vulnerability scanning was too costly for many companies.
Reports generated by foreign tools needed translation into Japanese.
Service release was delayed due to lack of security vendor resources.

Benefits

Compared to other tools, Vex stands out for its minimal detection of false positives. The company no longer has to spend a lot of time and money verifying scan results.
Vex, a domestic tool, has good usability in view of the UI design familiar to the Japanese so it has succeeded in reducing the workload of engineers.
The company enabled clients to perform a certain level of scanning on their own, rather than relying solely on security vendors, thus strengthening their security management system.
