Insight Technology Strengthens DX Support through Partnership

In a significant development, Insight Technology Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, led by CEO Toshiya Morita) has entered into a sales agency agreement with Marubeni Information Systems Corporation (MSYS), part of the Marubeni I-DIGIO Group. This collaboration will enable MSYS to distribute Insight Technology's advanced data masking solutions, including the innovative
Insight Masking and the document masking solution 墨消しEdition (Ink Erasure Edition).

Background

The need for effective data utilization has surged in recent years, especially with advancements in cutting-edge technologies like generative AI and the sophistication of data analysis. Companies are increasingly leveraging vast amounts of personal and sensitive data for creating new services and improving operational efficiency.

However, with strict regulations such as amendments to Japan’s Personal Information Protection Law and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there is an intensified societal expectation for proper data management and privacy protection. This is particularly crucial when using production data in development and testing environments, as well as creating datasets for AI model training, where the risk of data leakage is significant. Consequently, the demand for solutions that allow safe and efficient data utilization is rapidly increasing.

To address this, Insight Technology has been providing solutions focused on data integration and security aimed primarily at enterprise clients to support their digital transformation (DX) and AI utilization efforts. With the rising importance of data utilization in organizations, Insight Technology has developed and expanded Insight Masking, designed to automate the anonymization of sensitive information and to comply with legal requests and operational needs.

Partnership Benefits

This partnership combines MSYS's robust capabilities in cloud security and IT infrastructure with Insight Technology’s advanced data governance and AI automation technology. Together, they aim to offer a comprehensive foundation for security and data utilization, safeguarding data across networks and ensuring optimal performance. By leveraging MSYS's extensive sales network and capability for tailored proposals, the collaboration will promote Insight Technology's high-value products across various industries, enhancing their comprehensive approach to AI and DX projects.

Insight Masking Features

Insight Masking is a powerful masking tool designed for data protection and utilization. It automatically extracts sensitive personal information and utilizes rich masking algorithms to efficiently anonymize personal data and conceal confidential information.

Equipped with advanced free-text masking technology driven by the evolution of large language models, it can quickly anonymize and protect personal information within text data, such as email bodies, chat texts, and CRM history. This high-performance AI, combined with rule-based automatic detection, helps prevent data leaks while streamlining development and analysis processes.

Moreover, the 墨消しEdition is specifically designed to mask personal and confidential information in PDF documents, making them suitable for disclosure and reporting purposes. This product automates the detection of non-public information within text, figures, and tables, dramatically reducing the time and effort required for manual extraction of personal data.

By combining the strengths of Insight Technology's products and MSYS's technical expertise, they aim to provide optimal solutions to customers' data security challenges.

Future Outlook

Through this partnership, Insight Technology is committed to enhancing data governance and reducing security risks for its clients. As they deepen their collaboration, the focus will be on delivering high-quality services that adapt to the evolving landscape of information security.
