TOKYO – Feb 2nd, 2026 – OPSWAT Japan has achieved a major industry milestone, cementing itself as one of the most trusted cybersecurity partners protecting Japan’s critical infrastructure. Since entering the Japanese market in 2017, the company has rapidly expanded its footprint—and now safeguards over 70% of Japan’s local government organizations, including Fuji City, Muroran City, Minamisoma City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This sharp rise from 50% coverage in mid-2024 underscores the accelerating demand for OPSWAT’s industry-leading IT and OT security technologies.
Achieving protection across more than 70% of Japan’s local governments is not just a milestone—it’s a mandate. Japan’s critical infrastructure is under unprecedented pressure, and OPSWAT’s mission is clear: deliver uncompromising security that ensures every citizen can rely on the services that keep this country running. We will continue pushing the boundaries of IT and OT protection to defend Japan against the threats of today and tomorrow.,
