Why it matters: - The agreement gives 1stProtect a distribution channel into Japan, one of the world’s key enterprise technology markets. - The partnership comes as AI-assisted cyberattacks are getting faster and harder to stop with conventional endpoint security tools. - DIS customers gain access to a prevention-focused security platform designed to stop malicious activity before it executes.
