Entities
SIs and MSSPs
Nihon Cyber Defence (NCD) Si-Mssp Positive
Next-generation Japan cybersecurity firm. NCSC-certified. Different delivery model from legacy SIers; not yet at scale but the right signal about where the market is heading.
NRI SecureTechnologies Si-Mssp Positive
Japan's most credible domestic security specialist. Strong FSA-regulated client relationships and genuine SOC infrastructure; detection engineering is the current gap.
Rakuten Mobile Si-Mssp Neutral
Japan's fourth mobile network operator. Became Japan's first Cloudflare MSSP partner; telco-led Zero Trust play targeting SMB tier the legacy SIers have underserved.
Fujitsu Security Si-Mssp Caution
Fujitsu's security practice. IT services business with security bolted on; broad reach through Fujitsu's enterprise relationships, shallow security depth.
Hitachi Systems Si-Mssp Caution
Hitachi's systems subsidiary handling managed services including security. SME-focused managed security platform announced 2024; delivery depth at scale unproven.
NTT Security Si-Mssp Caution
NTT Group's security arm. High brand recognition and SOC infrastructure; innovation pace low, delivery model service-wrapped legacy tooling.
