Utimaco and Marubun have entered a strategic partnership focused on one thing. Strengthening cryptographic foundations in Japan as AI, cloud migration, digital payments, and Web3 scale faster than existing security models can comfortably handle.
Under the agreement, Marubun will handle the domestic distribution of Utimaco’s hardware security modules, key management systems, and post quantum cryptography ready solutions. This is not just a resale setup. Marubun will provide technical support before and after deployment, system integration, and localization tailored to Japanese enterprises and regulations.
The timing is not accidental. As Japan pushes national level digitalization across banking, manufacturing, and AI driven services, encryption keys and privileged credentials have quietly become the weakest link. They are now prime targets for attackers, whether the threat comes from ransomware groups, cloud misconfigurations, or future quantum capable systems.

The partnership focuses on practical defenses. FIPS certified HSMs to protect keys and identities. Centralized key and certificate management across hybrid and multi cloud environments. Support for compliance tied to data protection, financial systems, and critical infrastructure. Readiness for NIST standardized post quantum cryptography. Protection for AI models, connected devices, and tokenized assets used in digital payments.
At a broader level, this is about future proofing. Not chasing the next buzzword, but building cryptographic infrastructure that can evolve as regulations tighten and threat models change. For Japan’s digital economy, reliability and long term trust are now the real differentiators.
