OPSWAT Achieves Over 70% Usage Rate in Japanese Local Governments

OPSWAT's Significant Milestone in Japan's Local Government Utilization

On February 2, 2025, in Tokyo, OPSWAT Japan proudly announced that it has surpassed a crucial milestone in its journey, securing its place as a leading cybersecurity partner for Japan's critical infrastructure. Since its entry into the Japanese market in 2017, OPSWAT has witnessed a rapid expansion of its business foundation. It is now utilized by more than 70% of local government organizations across Japan, including cities like Fujishi, Muroran, and Minamisoma, as well as Yamanashi Prefecture. This remarkable jump from 50% mid-2024 demonstrates the accelerating demand for OPSWAT's industry-leading IT and OT security technologies.

"Reaching over 70% usage in Japanese local governments is not merely a goal, but a commitment to our mission. With the rising threat of ransomware and other cyberattacks, both public entities and private enterprises in Japan are under unprecedented cybersecurity pressure, and OPSWAT's mission is clear. We aim to provide uncompromising security so that every citizen can trust the public services that support our nation. We continue to push the boundaries of IT and OT protection, safeguarding Japan from current and future cybersecurity threats," stated Atsushi Takamatsu, Country Manager of OPSWAT Japan.

Further accelerating OPSWAT's momentum is the rapid proliferation of the Tokyo OP/X Lab. This state-of-the-art facility features practical simulations, data flow modeling, and threat scenarios designed to enhance operational resilience. Since its opening in July 2024, the OP/X Lab has hosted over 500 visitors from government agencies and major private companies, addressing the growing need for operational resilience.

The enhancement of the Tokyo OP/X Lab aligns perfectly with OPSWAT's expansion of engineering, sales, and partner support resources, accelerating assistance to organizations confronting increasing cybersecurity risks. As Japan strengthens its national initiatives for infrastructure protection and regulatory compliance, OPSWAT is dedicated to providing the essential technologies and expertise necessary to safeguard the nation's most vital services.
