In an era where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, automated and assisted by artificial intelligence, cybersecurity leader F-Secure is redefining digital protection by blending cutting-edge technology with decades of human expertise.

“F-Secure stands apart through a combination of human expertise and AI-driven threat detection that adapts as quickly as the threat landscape evolves,” said Yoshimoto Takayama, F-Secure’s Japan country manager. “Our hybrid approach ensures that every digital moment is protected not just reactively, but also proactively.”

With more than 35 years of research and frontline visibility through incident response and managed detection services, F-Secure leverages deep threat intelligence to stay ahead of attackers. The company’s solutions detect and block 500,000 malware attacks and 700,000 suspicious activities daily and protect over 1 million banking transactions every day. They have also identified 8 million breached personal records.

What further sets F-Secure apart is its partner-first approach. The company works with over 200 service providers worldwide, enabling it to protect millions of users from digital threats.

“Our industry-leading features, along with a dedicated Scam Protection Engineering Team, are propelling F-Secure to be the No. 1 provider of scam protection in the world,” Takayama explained.

Japan is a particularly significant market for F-Secure. The company has long collaborated with major telecom operators, working with more than half of the country’s leading players. These partnerships include providing F-Secure’s security engine for operator-owned applications or delivering white-label security solutions that partners can brand as their own.

“With the rapid increase in online fraud in Japan, we will work together with our partners to provide a safe and secure environment for end users,” Takayama said.

Furthermore, partnerships with several telecom players in Japan underscore this commitment, particularly in monitoring the safety of online communication and personal information.

F-Secure is also responding to the rise of AI-driven threats by embedding AI at the core of its solutions. Its newest features, including AI-powered short message service scam protection, focus on real-world risks such as phishing, impersonation and financial fraud.

“Protection alone isn’t enough,” Takayama emphasized. “Trust is built through transparency, privacy-by-design and seamless user experience. We give users full control over what they share — no backdoors, just full transparency.”

With cyberattacks growing more complex, F-Secure remains a trusted partner for businesses and consumers alike, ensuring that security evolves as fast as the threats themselves.
