Cloudbase's Recognition by the 2025 Good Design Award
Cloudbase Inc., based in Minato City, Tokyo, has been awarded the esteemed 2025 Good Design Award, presented by the Japan Design Promotion Organization. This recognition is a significant milestone for the company, which offers a cutting-edge cloud security platform aimed at identifying configuration errors and vulnerabilities in public clouds like AWS and Azure.
In an era where cloud utilization is accelerating, the associated security risks have also risen sharply. Companies face difficulties in effectively managing these risks due to a shortage of security personnel. In response to this pressing issue, Cloudbase has developed a solution that allows individuals without specialized knowledge to manage these risks, a feature that has received high praise from the award judges.
Design Concept of Cloudbase
The core philosophy behind Cloudbase is centered on the idea that “anyone can resolve risks.” The platform is designed to facilitate a seamless cycle of risk detection, prioritization, and remediation. By enabling these processes to work in harmony, Cloudbase contributes significantly to strengthening a company’s security posture, enhancing development speed, and fostering the growth of security talent inside organizations.
Key Design Features
- - Immediate Risk Identification: Among thousands of potential risks, the platform clearly highlights the risks that require urgent attention at a glance.
- - Simple Remediation Steps: It lays out clear steps for remedying each risk, allowing anyone to address these issues easily.
- - User-Friendly Interface: Even those without expertise can navigate the UI/UX effectively, ensuring that all stakeholders have a comprehensive understanding of the company’s security status.
Assessment Comments by the Good Design Award Committee
The committee highlighted that Cloudbase transforms what was once complex and suitable only for specialists—cloud security management—into a system that anyone can use. In the face of rising incidents related to misconfigurations and ransomware, the service is designed to empower companies struggling to recruit security engineers to handle risk management effectively. Additionally, it not only visualizes risks but also provides a clear path to resolution while supporting a wide range of features like SBOM compliance.
