Rakuten Mobile entered the security services market through a Cloudflare MSSP partnership, the first of its kind in Japan. The model leverages Rakuten Mobile’s existing enterprise and SMB connectivity relationships to distribute Cloudflare’s Zero Trust platform. Rakuten Mobile is not a security company, and the depth of actual security operations delivery versus the partnership brand remains to be demonstrated. The structural opportunity is real: telco-led security bundling for the SMB segment is a gap in the Japan market that this model is positioned to address.
