Kahootz expands into Japan to enhance cybersecurity

As the UK and Japan draw closer as partners to strengthen collective security, Kahootz is expanding its presence into Japan to support UK-Japan collaboration and to provide the necessary software to protect against malign actors looking to attack a partner nation.

Following UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s visit to Japan, Kahootz joined the UK’s Cybersecurity Trade Mission as a beacon of British technological innovation and a provider of secure, rapid and cross-domain digital collaboration across critical sectors.
 
Cyber-attacks are surging against NATO members and its allies, costing economies billions and threatening national security. Kahootz is collaborating with partners in the Japanese market to provide a sovereign and secure solution as hybrid warfare intensifies and cross-collaboration between strategic partners becomes ever more important.

Kahootz’s software is already in use on a UK-Japan initiative, supporting thousands of partners across the globe to work together safely and securely – integrating data and capabilities at multiple classifications in an increasingly complex cross-domain environment.
 
During the Trade Mission, Luca Leone, CEO of Kahootz, gave the keynote address to the delegation. He elaborated on how the ever-evolving and growing threat landscape means that increasingly more data requires greater protection at higher classifications, and that further digital collaboration between close partners is critical to protect from adversaries, as encapsulated by the recent UK-Japan Strategic Cyber Partnership.
 
Luca Leone, CEO of Kahootz, said: “Kahootz was honoured to be asked to join the UK’s Cybersecurity Trade Mission to Japan, as we look to expand our partnerships further into the country to enhance secure cross-collaboration between our two nations in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
 
We welcome the UK-Japan Strategic Cyber Partnership and look forward to playing our part as we entrench into the market to help protect our collective security.”
 
His Majesty’s Ambassador to Japan, Julia Longbottom CMG, said: “I am delighted that eleven leading UK cyber companies, including Kahootz, have joined our UK Cyber Security Trade Mission to Japan. These are impressive companies at the forefront of innovation in active cyber defence, the protection of critical infrastructure, and cross domain solutions.”
