Internet Initiative Japan Inc., a leading provider of Zero Trust security solutions, announced the launch of Safous Privileged Remote Access, an integrated platform that combines Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Identity and Access Management (IAM) in a single, streamlined solution.
Designed to address two of the most common ransomware attack vectors – unsecured remote access and compromised privileged accounts – Safous Privileged Remote Access helps organizations reduce risk, eliminate complexity, and unify access control across IT, OT, and IoT environments.
The platform builds on IIJ’s proven Safous Zero Trust architecture and now incorporates robust PAM capabilities that align with Gartner’s Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) criteria. By tightly monitoring and controlling privileged sessions, the solution delivers full visibility and control over sensitive systems and users.

Key features include:
Unified IT, OT, and IoT security:
Supports secure remote access for operational technology, RPAM for corporate IT environments, and secure connectivity for IoT systems – providing holistic protection across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure.
Integrated Zero Trust + PAM + IAM:
Combines VPN-less Zero Trust connectivity with role-based privileged access and identity verification. This layered approach directly targets the core vulnerabilities exploited in modern ransomware and supply chain attacks.
Microsegmentation for application-level control:
Limits user access based on role and application, rather than broad network access, minimizing the risk of lateral movement and unauthorized entry across systems.
Built-in compliance support:
Simplifies adherence to global and regional cybersecurity regulations—including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST 800-171, and APAC-specific CIIO/NCII requirements—by consolidating critical controls into a single platform.
“Integrating microsegmentation and privileged access controls into a unified Zero Trust framework, we empower enterprises to better protect their critical systems and data without adding unnecessary complexity,” said Miki Tanaka, Global Business Director at IIJ. “Whether your infrastructure is air-gapped on-premises, operating in the cloud, reliant on legacy systems, or restricted to a single shared privileged account, Safous Privileged Remote Access delivers modern defenses and full operational traceability across every environment.”
