Smartkeeper Co., Ltd. (CEO Ahn Chang-hoon) announced that it is entering the Japanese physical security market by establishing a strategic partnership with NTT East Japan, a leading Japanese telecommunications and infrastructure company.

This partnership is significant in that NTT East Japan has officially adopted Smartkeeper’s technology as a standardized physical security solution, thereby demonstrating the stability and effectiveness of the solution in the Japanese market as well.

NTT East Japan is expanding its physical security business around its enterprise solution brand “BizDrive Physical Security” and plans to exclusively supply the “SMARTKEEPER Pro” series in Japan as the first lineup under this brand. Based on this, the two companies will promote the establishment of physical communication security systems across a wide range of industries, including corporations and public institutions.

Smartkeeper has provided security solutions that combine physical port-blocking technology with a dedicated key-based management system. “SMARTKEEPER Pro” can physically block or control the connection status not only of USB and LAN ports, but also industrial special ports such as RF module locks and BNC, and is designed to defend simultaneously against insider threats and external attacks through a structure that can be unlocked only with a dedicated key.

Through this partnership, Smartkeeper has secured a stable business foothold in Japan, a major IT infrastructure market. At the same time, NTT East Japan plans to leverage its sales network and customer touchpoints to drive the expansion of physical security solutions.

Takaki Kadono, Head of Advanced Technology, Advanced Business Promotion Department, Business Innovation Headquarters at NTT East Japan, said, “This partnership will enable us to provide advanced physical security solutions to customers in Japan,” adding, “We expect it to contribute to enhancing security levels in a wide range of industrial sectors.”

Smartkeeper CEO Ahn Chang-hoon stated, “Through cooperation with a global infrastructure company, we have taken the first step toward building a physical security ecosystem in the Japanese market,” and added, “We will focus on delivering tangible security value to local customers and setting a new standard.”
