IIJ Global Solutions
Helping Companies Solidify the Security of Their Networks

Connect businesses and people and link the world to create new value for the future,” Yoshinobu Inoue, Representative Director and President of IIJ Global Solutions.

IIJ Global is an IIJ Group company whose mission is to build and manage global IT infrastructure for companies operating worldwide.

IIJ Global Solutions is Japan’s leading provider of a secure access service edge (SASE), endpoint security, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), and cloud access security broker (CASB) as relevant solutions for enterprises to achieve digital workplaces most compatible with their business needs and minimize their cyber safety concerns. It proposes an optimal combination of services as a seamless package and an effective phase-by phase execution plan. The company provides Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions and comprehensive network outsourcing services from designing to building and managing corporate networks for enterprises worldwide and in the domestic market.

IIJ Global Solutions is creating waves of change in the managed security services space with robust solutions that provide customers with optimal network environments throughout their lifecycle, from consulting to operation.

Their recent collaboration with a major chemical company speaks volumes about their prowess in the industry. The company produces chemical materials that require suitable network configuration, security infrastructure that can counter growing threats targeting businesses, and centralized security operations. In 2020, it migrated to SASE for efficient network and security operations, covering many establishments. To that end, the client engaged with Japan’s local network outsourcing company, IIJ Global Solutions, for its network design and project management capabilities for domestic and overseas sites.

IIJ Global Solutions demonstrated its network and server know-how and technical capabilities and offered it, Palo Alto Network Prisma Access (SASE), Palo Alto Network Cortex XDR (EDR), and internet circuits with a VPN device. IIJ Global Solutions’ network outsourcing services contributed to its enhanced security management.

In today’s mobile and cloud-oriented world, providing security as a function attached to the network is critical. However, vendors with sufficient knowledge of both networking and security are hard to find. IIJ Global has the ability to design and build both to meet enterprises’ needs.

In recent years, opportunities to propose a SASE and security service edge (SSE) to enhance security functions have significantly increased, particularly when companies must protect their employees against online threats. The need for endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and security operations are also growing. SASE and SSE solutions remain popular due to the normalization of telecommuting and the cloud shift. SASE provides security in the cloud, protecting external users and reducing response times by eliminating the need to go through the internal facility to access the cloud.

We Are The Only Company That Can Propose, Build, And Operate Sase And Sse Products Of Known Vendors Including Palo Alto Networks, Cato Networks, Zscaler, And Netskope. We Create A Solution Portfolio That Contributes To The Customer’s Business Over A Medium To Long Term, Taking System Operations And Roi Into Consideration

That said, IIJ Global uses EDR and XDR services to protect users from ransomware and provides contingency measures and SaaS Security services to protect data.

“We are the only company that can propose, build, and operate SASE and SSE products of known vendors including Palo Alto Networks, Cato Networks, Zscaler, and Netskope. We create a solution portfolio that contributes to the customer’s business over a medium to long term, taking system operations and ROI into consideration,” says Yoshinobu Inoue, Representative Director and President of IIJ Global Solutions.

Comparing popular products helps customers choose the best base solution. In addition, consultants well versed in the latest IT trend information introduce new technologies that may be unfamiliar to customers and provide a comparison between products. Customers can create a blueprint for their IT infrastructure over the medium term (5 years) with IIJ Global’s consultants.

Traditionally, security products specialized in only one function, requiring various products if they were to incorporate multiple functions. This will, however, increase operational effort, resulting in incidents caused by human error. Addressing this challenge, IIJ Global Solutions is introducing a single product to cover a wide range of customer needs and is less burdensome for the operator and users. The firm also promotes products that excel in end-user connection status and access history to keep track of user activities.

Providing integration services to facilitate businesses in globalization and digitization, setting the fundamental processes of designing, developing, delivering, and operating, IIJ Global Solutions is at the forefront of the dynamic IT industry.
