Soliton’s Certification System Chosen for IIJ’s New Network Solution

Soliton Systems, a leading IT security provider headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has recently made significant strides by having its certificate authentication system integrated into the new "IIJ Network Authentication Solution with Soliton," launched by Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ). This strategic partnership marks a testament to Soliton's reliability and expertise in the field of security solutions.

Enhancing Authentication Security for the Remote Work Era

With the rise of telecommuting and an increase in cloud service utilization, there is an urgent need to accurately monitor and control who accesses the system and from which devices. The rise in phishing attacks and unauthorized login incidents has led to a growing demand for robust mechanisms that identify and control endpoint devices. Soliton’s certification system stands out as a solution tailored to meet these evolving challenges.

Core Features of the Solution

The key components of the IIJ network solution include Soliton’s flagship products: "NetAttest EPS" and "Soliton OneGate." The reasons IIJ chose Soliton’s technology include:

- Strict Device Authentication: The use of client certificates allows for the precise identification of both the user and the device, effectively deterring access from unauthorized terminals.
- Centralized Authentication Management: This feature streamlines the lifecycle management of certificates, optimizing control during employee transitions such as departures or device changes.
- Proven Implementation Experience: Soliton’s technology has been successfully implemented in numerous organizations, demonstrating its reliability across both cloud and on-premise environments.

Future Perspectives

Moving forward, Soliton aims to further develop its collaboration with IIJ to strengthen authentication security in the era of Zero Trust, ensuring a safe digital operational environment for customers.
