Saviynt Expands AI-Era Identity Security Presence in Japan Through Joint Venture with Ashisuto
Strategic partnership combines Saviynt’s platform innovation with Ashisuto’s local expertise to help Japanese enterprises modernize identity security
TOKYO, JAPAN — June 8, 2026— Saviynt, the AI-era identity security platform, today announced a strategic joint venture with Ashisuto to accelerate AI-ready identity security adoption across Japan. The joint venture expands Saviynt’s local presence and brings customers closer access to localized support, implementation expertise, and partner engagement as organizations modernize identity programs for the AI era.
As Japanese enterprises advance AI adoption and digital transformation initiatives, identity security is becoming increasingly central to governance, compliance, and cyber resilience. The expansion reinforces the growing need for AI-ready identity security as enterprises prepare for a rapid increase in autonomous AI systems operating across business environments. IDC projects there will be 1.3 billion AI agents by 2028, while Deloitte’s 2026 State of AI Report found that only one in five organizations have achieved mature governance for autonomous AI agents.
Founded in 1972, Ashisuto is one of Japan’s leading IT solution providers, recognized for its customer-centric approach, enterprise relationships, and technical support expertise across key industries. Through the joint venture, Saviynt and Ashisuto will help organizations modernize identity governance, secure human and non-human access, and strengthen the governance of AI-driven systems and emerging machine identities as enterprises accelerate digital and AI transformation initiatives.
“Japan is a highly strategic market for Saviynt, particularly as organizations accelerate AI adoption and modernize their cybersecurity strategies,” said Alex Lei, Senior Vice President of Sales for Asia Pacific and Japan. “Our joint venture with Ashisuto reflects a long-term commitment to the region and a shared focus on delivering exceptional customer outcomes. Together, we can bring customers the platform innovation, local expertise, and execution support needed to securely scale modern identity programs with greater speed and confidence.”
“Identity security is becoming a critical priority for organizations across Japan as they modernize operations and adopt AI technologies at scale,” said Tatsuo Otsuka, President and Representative Director at Ashisuto. “Ashisuto has supported enterprise customers in Japan for more than five decades, and we are excited to combine our local experience with Saviynt’s identity security platform to help customers move faster, strengthen governance, and realize long-term value.”
Sandy Halim, Global Information Security Leader of LIXIL, a Saviynt customer, commented: “Saviynt’s strategic expansion into the Japanese market is a significant milestone, not only for LIXIL but for the entire Identity Security community in Japan. We believe that having a dedicated local presence—combined with accelerated support and closer alignment with local governance requirements—will empower organizations to advance their security journeys with greater confidence. This is a transformative step in the region’s digital transformation.”
The joint venture will support customers across manufacturing, automotive, financial services, infrastructure, and the public sector with localized identity security support, governance expertise, and implementation services.
