SAN FRANCISCO & TOKYO — Jan. 22, 2020 — Sysdig, Inc., the secure DevOps leader, today announced that is has established a Japanese subsidiary, Sysdig Japan GK. Sysdig, a cloud security and monitoring company, enables enterprises to embed security, maximize availability, and validate compliance. On November 11, 2019, SCSK announced a distributor agreement in Japan with Sysdig.

The establishment of Sysdig Japan GK illustrates the Sysdig commitment to the Japanese market. The company will also be investing in local ecosystem partnerships and recruiting resellers across Japan. By adopting a secure DevOps approach, Japanese customers can confidently accelerate their move to containers and Kubernetes.

Sysdig launched in 2013 and since then the company has released several open source tools, including Falco, a CNCF® Incubating project. The company also offers commercial solutions, including the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform.

Sysdig is the only security company to support a secure DevOps approach by integrating monitoring and security into a single platform. Cloud teams can embed security, maximize availability, and validate compliance using a single source of truth across development, DevOps, and security teams. The Sysdig platform is open by design, with the scale, performance, and usability enterprises demand. With Sysdig’s context-based monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, Japanese organizations across industries are able to deliver the performance and availability their users expect.

“The Sysdig Platform is the leading ”Secure DevOps Platform” on the market based on its proven success with customers. Given that Japanese companies have a history of operationalizing innovative new technologies, we are happy to see a growing demand for Sysdig’s product with Red Hat OpenShift across many industries in Japan,” said Noboru Kohno, Corporate Officer of IT Engineering Division at SCSK Corporation.

To celebrate this milestone, Sysdig Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Suresh Vasudevan will be in Japan during the launch week. Suresh will meet with current Sysdig Japanese customers and speak with enterprises embarking on their container and Kubernetes transformation.
