Absolute Software Inc., a top provider of cyber resilience solutions, is expanding its partnership with Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ), a prominent provider of internet access and comprehensive network solutions in Japan.

This integration lets IIJ Flex Mobility Service/ZTNA users access the internet securely. They can connect easily, whether inside or outside the corporate environment. As remote work rises and cloud apps become essential, Absolute’s cloud-based SWG provides vital security. It protects against threats that traditional perimeter defenses can’t handle well anymore.
The partnership blends IIJ’s strong network with Absolute’s top-notch security. This creates a flexible, secure web access environment designed for today’s businesses.
