As Shreyans Mehta (pictured above right) sees it, Cequence’s main goal is to protect the No. 1 target of cyber-attackers these days: APIs. And the firm’s unified API protection platform is doing just that, protecting more than 6 billion API requests per day, says Mehta, CTO and co-founder of Cequence.
Late last year, investors gave the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Cequence another stamp of approval, providing it with $60 million in a Series C funding round led by new investor Menlo Ventures.
Cequence’s revenues currently come mostly via direct sales, but Mehta said plans are underway to move more aggressively into channel sales.
