Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka, President: Hiroyuki Matsumoto, hereafter referred to as DIS) has concluded a distributorship agreement with Keeper Security APAC, Inc. (Head Office of Asia-Pacific: Tokyo, CEO and Co-Founder: Darren Guccione, hereafter referred to as Keeper Security), a major security cloud service provider, that offers industry-leading password management and security software, and that has started to collaborate with Keeper Security to sell Keeper Security solutions in the Japanese market. The products are designed to protect customers and their businesses from data leakage.

As teleworking spreads and cloud network use expands as a result of diversifying working practices and the coronavirus, password-related cyberattacks are increasing rapidly. Most data breaches are attributed to vulnerable passwords. Incompetent password security not only incurs the cost and time needed to cope with data breaches but also increases the risk of such breaches occurring. Keeper products loaded with a zero trust framework and zero knowledge security protect user information and reduce the risk of data leakage with the aid of best-in-class security.

Keeper products simplify the use of management tools in addition to offering highly secure technology platforms. Satisfying the requirements of all devices, operating systems, and browser platforms, they offer a simple and intuitive user interface that is very easy to deploy in less than one hour. An IT manager can monitor the use of passwords by employees and apply the password security policy to the entire organization. Companies around the world are reducing the risk of data breaches considerably by utilizing a powerful password manager and a digital vault, both of which are offered by Keeper.

DIS delivers products and solutions supplied by Keeper Security to users across the country through about 19,000 dealers utilizing a community-based sale system established by a sales network with about 90 bases that cover every corner of the country. Through our efforts to spread Keeper Security products, which enjoy high levels of customer satisfaction, we help our customers solve problems regardless of company size and promote digitalization and business reform, thus contributing to digital transformation in Japan.

Darren Guccione, CEO and co-founder of Keeper Security, said, “We are very pleased to have concluded an agency agreement with DIS in the Japanese market as part of the expansion of Keeper’s presence on a global scale. Threats against cyber security are growing more serious, as are the risks of cyberattacks. For this reason, it is indispensable for companies of all sizes to take action to protect passwords, privileged access, secrets, and data from cyber criminals.
