Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) moved to create collaboration opportunities with local corporations to support Korea’s information security corporations in entering the Japanese market.
KISA said on the 21st that, together with the Ministry of Science and ICT, it held “K-Cybersecurity Business Day in Japan 2026″ in Tokyo on the 20th.
The event was prepared to support Korea’s information security corporations in entering the Japanese market. In Japan recently, demand for security products and services has been expanding due to rising cyber threats and stronger supply chain security.
Since last year, KISA has been running export consultation sessions that consolidate Korea’s information security corporations with local institutions and corporations around overseas strategic hubs. This year, after Indonesia in June and Costa Rica in Aug., it expanded its support region to Japan.
At this event, one-on-one business consultations were held between seven Korea-based information security corporations and Japanese buyers and corporations. KISA arranged the meetings by linking the identified needs of Japanese corporations in advance with the technologies and products of Korea-based corporations. Participating corporations discussed possibilities for business and technology cooperation with local corporations.
Information sharing for entry into the Japanese market also took place. At a seminar joined by local institutions such as the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA), trends in Japan’s information technology (IT) and cybersecurity market, information related to foreign corporations’ entry, and Japan’s key cybersecurity policies were introduced.
On the 21st, six Korea-based information security startups will also hold an “on-site export consultation session” by directly visiting Japanese corporations. Participating corporations plan to introduce their technologies and services and seek ways to collaborate with local corporations.
Oh Jin-young, head of KISA’s AI Security Industry Headquarters, said, “In the information security field, beyond technical strength, building trust in products and corporations is important for entering overseas markets,” and added, “Based on the cooperative networks we have built with overseas institutions, we will support Korea’s information security corporations in creating new business opportunities on the ground.”
