We're excited to announce our strategic partnership with Mitsui Knowledge Industries (MKI) to deliver a secure access management to the Japanese market. Beginning in January 2025, this partnership combines MKI's expertise with our security-differentiated platform to address evolving cybersecurity requirements across Japan's enterprise landscape.

Cyber attacks are on the rise globally and have resulted in business outages, financial loss, and damaged reputations. In this threat landscape, secure authentication and authorization, which determine who can access what data, has become increasingly important as every organization's first line of defense.

Against this background, Beyond Identity and MKI have focused on a partnership that elevates the security posture of Japanese organizations. Prior to the partnership with Beyond Identity, MKI provides other necessary for zero trust, such as SWG, ZTNA, and RBI. With the Beyond Identity collaboration, MKI customers can complete their zero trust defense with a passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution that accounts for device risk to enable continuous, risk-based access.

The partnership reflects both companies' shared commitment to transforming how Japanese enterprises approach identity security. MKI, with its established presence and deep understanding of Japanese business requirements, will leverage Beyond Identity's platform to help organizations:

• Accelerate zero trust initiatives through seamless authentication integration
• Eliminate password-related vulnerabilities and operational overhead
• Enable secure access for cloud-first enterprise environments
• Deliver enhanced security without compromising user experience

“We are thrilled to partner with MKI to bring the only identity and access management platform that eliminates identity-based threats to the Japanese market," said Jasson Casey, CEO of Beyond Identity. "This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering security outcomes to a global market. With MKI’s deep domain expertise and established presence, we are confident that this collaboration will drive value for both companies and, most importantly, for customers in Japan.”
