AhnLab moved to win local manufacturing customers by introducing technology that protects production facilities and information systems together at a security exhibition in Japan.
AhnLab said on the 25th that it participated in Security Days Fall 2026 Tokyo, held in Tokyo on the 21st to 23rd. Following Interop Tokyo 2026 in June, it promoted security technologies and products in Japan.
The focus of this exhibition was cybersecurity for cyber-physical systems (CPS) that span information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). It focused on responding to cyberthreats such as ransomware spreading to manufacturing sites and preventing production stoppages.
With the OT network security product AhnLab XTD, it introduced functions that detect threats spreading within OT networks or coming over from IT networks. For AhnLab EPS, which protects equipment endpoints, it emphasized that it reduces system load and can be used even on legacy operating systems that are no longer supported for security. It noted that it can also be applied to aging production facilities where equipment replacement is not easy.
In a presentation session, Masaoomi Kurokawa, manager at the Japan branch, took the stage as a speaker and shared CPS security strategies for stable operations in industrial sites in the AI era. AhnLab sought to raise local awareness and explore new business opportunities through its booth and presentation.
Tsubaki Yoji, appointed Japan country manager on the 1st of this month, said the company will expand its business in Japan based on its accumulated security experience in industrial sites and local support. He built a career of more than 20 years at IBM, Symantec, and Veritas.
