Wiz infrastructure now supports the creation of new tenants in Tokyo and Osaka, furthering our mission to empower leading organizations in Japan to accelerate their cloud initiatives with security and confidence. This move, coupled with the presence of our data centers located in Tokyo and Osaka, benefits organizations with a presence in the APJ market by providing all the capabilities of the Wiz platform in region, while also maintaining data sovereignty and privacy requirements.  

Our newly appointed Vice President and General Manager for Japan (also as President, Wiz Cloud Japan K.K.), Tadashi Yamanaka, will build upon this momentum by applying his 25+ years of leadership experience to helping enrich our existing partnerships in region and build new ones.  

With Asia-Pacific cloud spending projected to reach $193.7 billion by 2027*, joining Wiz is an incredible opportunity to bring transformative technology to Japan at a crucial moment. I look forward to collaborating closely with customers and partners in this market to enable secure adoption of cloud and AI, so that organizations can harness the transformative power of this technology with processes that truly scale.
