AironWorks Joins the Japanese Society for Security Psychology
In a significant move to bolster its cybersecurity initiatives, AironWorks, a leading AI cybersecurity platform based in Tokyo, officially announced its membership in the Japanese Society for Security Psychology (JSSP) as of September 2025. This partnership aims to integrate psychological principles into cybersecurity training, addressing the significant human factor that often underlies cyber incidents.
The Context of Membership
Recent cybersecurity research highlights that approximately 90% of data breaches are linked to human factors. Despite sophisticated technical defenses, the human element remains a major vulnerability. Understanding this pressing issue, AironWorks developed a targeted email attack training platform, merging insights from elite white-hat hackers and advanced AI technology. This innovative platform aims to fundamentally address the human vulnerabilities in cybersecurity.
Joining the JSSP represents a strategic effort by AironWorks to leverage academic insights into psychology, refining their approach to understanding behavioral mechanisms and decision-making processes in the context of security training. This partnership presents an opportunity to significantly enhance the effectiveness of security training through scientific study of human behavior.
About the Japanese Society for Security Psychology
The Japanese Society for Security Psychology is a scholarly organization focused on enhancing societal safety through the intersection of security and psychology. Engaged in interdisciplinary research, it investigates the human factors in security and develops psychological strategies to mitigate threats, contributing to a safer society.
Strengthening Initiatives Through Membership
With the JSSP membership, AironWorks plans to enhance its research and development efforts in several key areas:
1.
Scientific Analysis of Psychological Vulnerabilities
- Investigating cognitive biases and errors in judgment when faced with targeted attacks
- Researching methods to increase psychological resistance against social engineering attacks
2.
Customization of Training Based on Individual Characteristics

Future Outlook
As cyber incidents increasingly exploit human psychological vulnerabilities, particularly with advancing AI technologies, AironWorks is committed to developing solutions that deeply understand human psychology. Insights gained from their involvement with the JSSP will be incorporated into their platforms, aiming for a significant reduction in security incidents caused by human factors. The focus will be on further enhancing their services by integrating psychological research findings.
