Decide on objective information
We don’t rely on self-attestation alone; we combine externally observable data, submitted evidence and threat intelligence.
COMPANY
Building a safer digital future for Japan
Pipeline is more than a reseller. We run projects on the ground, investigate incidents and build our own intelligence technology to strengthen Japan’s security foundations.
MESSAGE
Message from the CEO
Cyber risk can never be reduced to zero. What we can reduce is the number of times an organisation has to say “we didn’t know” or “we didn’t check”.
When an incident happens, companies are expected to explain what they had checked and done beforehand. Yet continuously checking a changing external environment and a large number of suppliers with limited staff is hard.
We are not here to point out our customers’ problems. We are here to help them understand their situation sooner and turn that into the right decisions and actions. We will keep working alongside Japanese companies to deliver cybersecurity that leads to real action.
Pipeline Co., Ltd.Alan Watanabe, President & CEO
What we value
Keep checking you and your suppliers
Beyond your own external risk, we continuously check key suppliers and the wider supply chain.
Combine technology with expertise
Where systems alone can’t decide, our experts step in with further investigation, analysis and response.
Our mission
By combining leading global intelligence partners with platforms we build ourselves, we surface threats that traditional defences miss and turn them into actionable measures.
Alongside 24/7/365 monitoring with our SOC partner and expert incident investigation, we work with academic institutions to develop the next generation of security talent and strengthen the security foundations of Japan’s society and economy.
