AironWorks - A Leading Force in AI Cybersecurity

AironWorks Inc., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is proud to announce its selection as a participant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Startup Generation Seed Development Support Project" (ICT Startup League) for the third consecutive year. This recognition highlights the company’s dedication to advancing cybersecurity solutions using artificial intelligence (AI).

Driving Innovation in Japan

The ICT Startup League, a ministry-led initiative, aims to foster startups with innovative business models and cutting-edge technologies to accelerate Japan's innovation landscape. In the fiscal year 2027, a record 62 companies were selected, and AironWorks stands out among them as a beacon of progress in the tech industry.

Combating Evolving Cyber Threats with AI

In recent years, cyber attackers have rapidly enhanced their methods, using AI to launch sophisticated targeted attacks and social engineering schemes. Traditional prevention techniques, which typically rely on standard training or rule-based systems, can no longer counter these advanced strategies effectively. AironWorks is at the forefront of this battle, developing next-generation security AI that evolves defenses using AI technologies equal to or greater than that of attackers. The continual recognition of AironWorks over the past three years underscores the significant potential of its research and development efforts in commercializing these innovations.
