Varonis Systems Japan Joins FDUA

Varonis Systems Japan K.K., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, under the leadership of Japan Country Manager Toshiro Namiki, has recently announced its membership in the Financial Data Utilization Promotion Association (FDUA) as a special member. This association aims to elevate the capabilities of individuals and organizations through innovative financial data utilization.

FDUA's mission is to update the possibilities for people and organizations using financial data, sharing expertise in organizational management, talent development, and technology within financial practices. The establishment of FDUA is a testament to the growing importance of financial data in enhancing individual, corporate, and industry operations.

For over two decades, Varonis has been providing an integrated and automated platform that detects and classifies data, optimizes access rights, and identifies anomalous behavior related to sensitive data. This platform is designed to protect information assets regardless of the environment, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid settings. With its recent membership in FDUA, Varonis aims to bolster the security of data assets held by various companies and support the promotion of AI utilization in data security governance. By doing so, Varonis is committed to safeguarding against data leakage, whether intentional or unintentional.

As data volumes continue to skyrocket, the decentralization of personal and sensitive information across external services like SaaS and IaaS has become more prevalent, making it increasingly challenging to protect sensitive data from both internal and external threats. Varonis's integrated security platform is designed to ensure adequate protection of sensitive data, irrespective of its location, ultimately contributing to the safe utilization and promotion of AI within the financial sector. This initiative also addresses issues related to information leakage, regulatory compliance, and risk management.

In a statement, Toshiro Namiki expressed his honor in joining FDUA, emphasizing a deep alignment with FDUA's philosophy. He stressed the importance of promoting responsible data utilization and AI while contributing to the protection of data assets in Japan's financial market alongside fellow members. Furthermore, Varonis is eager to share its extensive knowledge accumulated globally, including data security technologies, customer case studies, and compliance with various regulatory guidelines, thereby contributing to the advancement of the financial market. Namiki reiterated his commitment to fostering forward-thinking information sharing and actively engaging in efforts to build a secure and trustworthy society, pledging to do everything possible to contribute to the healthy development of the financial market.
