Record customer wins across Japan, the Middle East, and the Americas validate Cequence's position as the trusted foundation for enterprises securely deploying agentic AI at scale

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 9, 2026 – Cequence Security, the leader in application, API, and agentic AI protection, today announced record momentum in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, capping a year of accelerating growth with its strongest quarter on record and the largest deal in company history, driven by surging demand across telecommunications, financial services, and energy and utilities sectors spanning the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The foundation of this quarter's momentum is the continued adoption of the Cequence platform, the platform enterprises trust to protect their applications and data in the agentic era. As those same enterprises begin deploying AI agents at scale, that foundation is proving to be exactly what's needed to make agentic AI secure. “Enterprises are racing to put agentic AI to work, but the security foundation to support it simply hasn't kept pace. Our customers, whether they're defending against sophisticated fraud, securing critical APIs, or safely connecting AI agents to their most sensitive applications, are all solving versions of the same problem. This quarter's results reflect what happens when you've spent a decade building toward this moment. The market is ready, and so are we,” said Ameya Talwalkar, CEO at Cequence.

Sales & Partner Momentum

Cequence added new customers this quarter spanning financial services, government, and critical infrastructure, with notable wins across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, South Korea, Brazil, and the United States. The company also recorded significant upsell and expansion activity with existing customers, including the largest transaction in company history with a leading telecommunications provider in Japan. New partners added this year include GuidePoint, Aplidigital, and IT-Harmony, reflecting a broader pattern of security-focused partners actively seeking a holistic agentic AI security solution to bring a market-proven and industry-acknowledged solution. Cequence's active partner network expanded globally this quarter, with new relationships activated across EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, including its first customer win sourced entirely through its channel partner program in Southeast Asia.

Regional Showcase: Middle East

The Middle East emerged as a standout region for Cequence in Q4 FY26, with new customer wins spanning digital banking, fintech, and government verticals across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. The region's rapid digital transformation, combined with accelerating agentic AI adoption across financial services and government, is driving urgent demand for enterprise-grade application, API, and AI security.

Customer Outcome Momentum

Cequence saw strong customer momentum across telecommunications, financial services, and energy and utilities this quarter. Telecommunications providers are deploying the platform to secure AI agents embedded in customer-facing workflows and network operations. Financial services customers are using Cequence to protect high-value APIs against fraud, credential abuse, and unauthorized data access.
