Heimdal Partners with Jupiter Technology to Distribute Cybersecurity Solutions in Japan

COPENHAGEN & TOKYO, February 8, 2024 - Heimdal has announced a strategic partnership with Jupiter Technology Corporation to distribute its cybersecurity products across Japan. 

Jupiter Technology will sell the Heimdal XDR Unified Security Platform, marketed as the ‘Heimdal Security Suite’. 

As the first of its kind, the platform delivers end-to-end cybersecurity in one place. These include network security, vulnerability management, patch and asset management, privileged access management, email security, next-generation antivirus, and ransomware encryption protection. 

This partnership marks a significant expansion of Heimdal’s global presence, adding to its existing distribution partnerships in the UK, United States, and India. 

In July 2023, Jupiter Technology introduced the Heimdal Ransomware Encryption Protection (REP) in Japan, a component of the Heimdal Security Suite. This was followed by the release of Heimdal Email Security and Heimdal DNS Security.  

This expansion will offer maximum support in addressing customers’ cybersecurity challenges, encompassing not only external threats like the ongoing ransomware crisis but also internal threats. 

Commenting on the announcement, Morten Kjaersgaard, CEO – Heimdal Security, said: 

“We are thrilled to embark on this strategic partnership with Jupiter Technology, marking a significant milestone in Heimdal Security’s journey. 

This collaboration not only strengthens our presence in the Japanese market but also aligns with our commitment to delivering the best cybersecurity solutions. 

By combining our advanced Heimdal Security Suite with Jupiter Technology’s robust distribution network, we are poised to effectively address the evolving cybersecurity challenges in Japan. 

We look forward to a fruitful partnership that will empower businesses across Japan with comprehensive, AI-driven security protection.”

Yukihiro Ishikawa, President of Jupiter Technology, added: 

“We are pleased to announce this strategic partnership with Heimdal Security. Through this agreement, we will exclusively offer Heimdal’s security solutions in the Japanese market, including ransomware encryption protection products, to protect Japanese organizations from cyber threats. 

Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure have exploded in recent years, and cybersecurity has been recognized as a prominent issue for Japanese companies as well. 

With this partnership, we look forward to strengthening our relationship to enforce our customers’ security posture with Heimdal’s unified platform with advanced detection and response capabilities.”

Heimdal's integrated approach has already been successful, evidenced by its products winning prestigious awards such as ‘AI and Machine Learning-Based Security Solution of the Year’ at the Computing Security Awards 2023, and ‘Cloud-Based Solution of the Year’ at the Network Computing Awards 2023. 

Heimdal also invites interested parties to join Heimdal Partner NEXUS, its latest global initiative for cybersecurity excellence, unity, and safeguarding.
