The information security tool market

The information security market in Japan is made up of two components: information security tools and information security services. Information security tools refer to hardware and software products which help customers to protect their data. The information security tools market encompasses the following different segments: endpoint protection management, network defense, content security, and identity access management. Security tools that fall under these categories include e-mail security products, data loss preventions systems (DLP), and encryption products, among others.

Implementation of measures by companies

A survey from 2019 showed that virtually all companies in Japan employ some form of internet security measure. The same survey revealed that the leading internet security measure implemented by companies was the installation of antivirus programs on devices. It is expected that companies worldwide will invest more in information security technologies in the coming years.
