Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as DIS; Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka, President: Hiroyuki Matsumoto) has concluded a distributorship agreement for the Japanese market with RSA Security LLC (hereinafter referred to as RSA; Head Office: State of Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Rohit Ghai), which is a leading company in cybersecurity and risk management solutions.

Passwordless authentication is becoming increasingly common in response to the accelerating demand for authentication and management of IDs due to the growing uptake of cloud computing, exemplified by remote work and hybrid working practices. RSA has been offering solutions that are secure, simple, and convenient for customers by positioning itself as an identity-first company and emphasizing the importance of identification and authentication in cybersecurity.
Security measures are a key management challenge faced by companies of all sizes. In the modern age, where everything is connected via the Internet, it is important to manage and operate security measures continuously and to combine multiple solutions that can cope with a broadening range of threats. The downside to the need to strengthen security measures is more challenges to management, typically higher costs and greater complexity. RSA offers optimized and less onerous solutions to these challenges.
SecurID/ID Plus, offered by RSA, is a solution that bases security measures on identity management. Utilizing technologies such as multifactor authentication (MFA), passwordless authentication, and AI, SecurID/ID Plus automates the analysis and management of risks, and manages applications comprehensively in a wide range of environments. This IDaaS, designed for next-generation cloud computing and hybrid environments, is an optimal platform that integrates protection and management of access without sacrificing security, flexibility, or convenience.
DIS delivers product solutions offered by RSA to users throughout Japan via its community-based sales system realized by sales networks established at 94 bases that cover every corner of Japan through about 19,000 dealers, and contributes to digitalization in Japan by supporting corporate digitalization and business reforms. As a distributer, DIS will not only provide products, solutions information, and technological support for solutions, but will also promote services to its many partner companies and Small and Medium Business in Japan by expanding and upgrading its sales activities, education support, and support systems.
DIS is scheduled to exhibit RSA’s products at “DIS World 2023 in Himeji” which is a DIS-sponsored general exhibition of ICT to be held for two days, opening on November 8, 2023. We warmly welcome all people interested in the exhibition.

RSA has been gaining the trust of a growing number of customers over a long period for the use of one-time passwords, but to satisfy the requirements of cloud computing, it has been looking for a partner to provide its services as IDaaS, including single sign-on, MFA, and ID governance & life-cycle management and support deployment of services that are tailored to the size and pace of the market and its clients. Alaa Abdulnabi, Vice President and International CSO, stated, “We are very pleased to collaborate with DIS, which has a proven record in business not only with companies but also with financial and administrative agencies in various regions to offer customers secure and satisfactory solutions.”
Rohit Ghai, Chief Executive Officer of RSA Security LLC, stated, “With the increase in numbers of users and devices in addition to changes in regulations and computing environments, Japanese organizations should utilize AI on a priority basis to identify vulnerability, detect threats, and automate responses. With the cooperation of Daiwabo Information System, we will offer AI-powered unified identity platforms, support security-focused leaders in various sectors including financial services, medical treatment, and energy, and provide users with necessary services as an important and secure part of their infrastructure.”
Hiroyuki Matsumoto, President of Daiwabo Information System, explains, “Amid accelerating responses not only to digital transformation and changes in working practices but also to expanding teleworking and cloud services, it is crucial to base security measures on identify management. It is necessary to have a unified ID management platform that places the highest importance on security, and which can flexibly cope with any changes, such as zero trust security support and support for hybrid environment including on-premises and cloud computing. While marketing RSA’s security solutions, we will support our customers’ businesses in terms of security and convenience, and contribute to problem-solving efforts not only for large companies but also for Small and Medium Business in Japan.”
