Filigran Announces Strategic Expansion into Japanese Market to Accelerate Proactive Cyber Defense

[Tokyo, Japan — April 9, 2026] — Filigran, an innovator in open-source and AI-driven cybersecurity, today announced the official launch of its domestic organization for full-scale business development in the Japanese market, commencing its strategic expansion.

This entry underscores the strategic importance of cybersecurity cooperation between Japan and France.

1. Addressing Potential Challenges: Strategic Significance of Entering Japan According to Filigran's latest Global CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) report, Japanese organizations face unique challenges compared to other regions. Filigran's entry into the Japanese market aims to build intelligence-driven, proactive defense capabilities through an ecosystem that leverages threat intelligence, thereby enhancing resilience.

* From "Limited Visibility" to "Proactive Situational Awareness": 54% of Japanese companies cite "insufficient visibility of their entire asset landscape" as their biggest challenge, significantly higher than the global average (41%). Filigran's "OpenCTI" fundamentally solves this issue by consolidating vast, scattered threat intelligence data into an integrated platform. This ensures security teams achieve structured, high visibility, enabling continuous identification and prioritization of threats truly impacting their environment, leading to swift decision-making and robust response. * Alleviating "Prioritization Fatigue": 86% of Japanese organizations struggle to determine which issues require immediate attention. Security teams spend 43% of their working hours investigating risks that ultimately have low priority or are not exploitable. Filigran elevates Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) from a mere technical tool to a strategic function, supporting CISOs in making faster, more confident decisions, including the validation of attack exposures.

2. Filigran's Advantage: A Positive Shift in Japanese Cybersecurity Filigran's expansion enables Japanese organizations to transition from traditional, reactive, siloed tools to an integrated, intelligence-backed "proactive security posture."

* Transparency Through Open Source: Unlike traditional "black box" proprietary tools, Filigran's "open-source-first" philosophy guarantees high transparency and openness. This allows Japanese organizations to avoid vendor lock-in and build a sustainable defense infrastructure. Filigran currently boasts an active user community of over 6,500 worldwide. * Automation with Agentic AI: 84% of Japanese respondents state that automation is indispensable for keeping pace with risk assessments. Filigran's "Agentic AI" integrates all products within the XTM suite, deploying AI agents specialized in cybersecurity for roles ranging from threat analysis to report generation. This frees up limited human resources to focus on more impactful strategic initiatives.
