3 Intel Signals

How they approach application security

  • Dentsu's AppSec philosophy is characterized by a commitment to maintaining the security of its assets, systems, and customer information, as stated in its Responsible Disclosure Policy.
  • The company explicitly does not operate a public bug bounty program.
  • Publicly available information does not detail specific approaches to developer enablement versus gatekeeping, nor does it provide AppSec-specific quotes on risk philosophy beyond general information security policy language.
  • No explicit public quotes from the AppSec team were found regarding stated pain points or goals.

The team

Dentsu's leadership includes Alex Bedier as Global Chief Information Officer and Kimiya Satake as Chief Intelligence Officer. While LinkedIn profiles show regional security leads like Takaaki Shirai (Head of Cyber Security Office), the explicit reporting line for the AppSec team to a CISO or CTO is not publicly available. The exact team size is not cited, but active Security Engineer job postings, such as one from December 2025, indicate ongoing recruitment.

What they're working on

  • Dentsu has a Responsible Disclosure Policy that commits to providing acknowledgement of vulnerability reports within 5 business days.
  • However, public sources do not offer explicit evidence of a Security Champions program, specific shift-left practices, or secure SDLC artifacts.
  • Recent public reporting (October 2025) primarily highlights a Merkle-related data security incident, which is distinct from AppSec initiatives.
