Delivering a Safe and Trusted Environment for Generative AI Utilization through Zero-Trust AI Security

Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka City/Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroyuki Matsumoto; hereinafter “DIS”) and ZeroTrusted.ai LLC (Headquarters: California, USA; Founder and CEO: Waylon Krush; hereinafter “ZeroTrusted.ai”), a provider of comprehensive AI security solutions based on zero-trust architecture, have entered into an exclusive distributor agreement for the Japanese market. Through this partnership, the two companies will begin offering platforms and services designed to securely promote the use of generative AI, which drives corporate digital transformation (DX).

 

Japan’s generative AI market is experiencing rapid growth in 2025 and is projected to exceed 1.7 trillion yen by 2030. Generative AI is increasingly being adopted as a core DX technology across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and education, offering significant potential for improving operational efficiency and enabling the development of new services. Companies are seeking to strengthen their competitiveness through AI-leveraged process automation and enhanced customer experiences; however, at the same time, risks such as information leaks and compliance violations are becoming more salient, with the potential to lead to serious incidents. Under these circumstances, there is a strong demand for solutions that enable the use of AI in a secured and controlled manner, making the adoption of platforms that balance robust security with usability an urgent priority.

 

As generative AI adoption accelerates, ZeroTrusted.ai provides comprehensive security based on a zero-trust architecture to address emerging risks such as leaks of confidential data, compliance violations resulting from deviations from policy, and the malicious misuse of AI by attackers.
To prevent leaks of confidential information, ZeroTrusted.ai is equipped with a real-time AI firewall and gateway that monitor and control all AI communications. Confidential information contained in input prompts and output results is automatically detected and filtered in accordance with defined policies, thereby preventing information leaks before they occur. In addition, end-to-end encryption and anonymization technologies further strengthen data protection during both storage and transmission.

 

To prevent deviations from policy, ZeroTrusted.ai adopts a Policy-as-Code approach, codifying corporate security policies and compliance requirements and applying them to the use of AI. By ensuring compliance with international regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, the solution minimizes the risk of violations. In addition, detailed audit logs and reporting functions enable full traceability of all AI usage, strengthening internal controls.

 

To prevent the malicious misuse of AI by attackers, a real-time inspection engine known as the “AI Judge” evaluates all requests and responses, detecting and blocking unauthorized prompt injections and model abuse. This prevents both external attacks and internal misuse, helping to maintain the integrity of AI systems. In addition, anomaly detection functions immediately alert organizations to behavior that deviates from normal usage patterns, thereby minimizing risk.

 

In addition, ZeroTrusted.ai supports multiple LLMs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta, and offers the flexibility to be deployed in both cloud and on-premises environments. Through integration with REST APIs, MCP, A2A, and LangChain, the solution can be easily incorporated into existing systems, enabling enterprises to maximize the value of generative AI while ensuring secure AI utilization.

 

Through its nationwide sales network of 101 locations and approximately 19,000 dealers, DIS will provide ZeroTrusted.ai’s solutions to Japanese enterprises. This will enable DIS to support the secure adoption of generative AI and contribute to improved productivity and the creation of new business models.

 

Waylon Krush, Co-Founder & CEO of ZeroTrusted.ai LLC, offered the following comments:
“Japan has built global standards of precision, quality, and accountability in technology adoption over many years. As generative AI becomes foundational to Japanese enterprises and society, trust must not be taken for granted; it must be purposefully worked into every interaction. Through our exclusive partnership with DIS, ZeroTrusted.ai will deliver a zero-trust AI platform for security, privacy, reliability, and AI ethics; designed specifically to protect Japan’s data, compliance culture, and mission-critical operations. Together, we will empower Japanese organizations to innovate with confidence, deploy AI securely at scale, and lead the world in safe and responsible AI adoption.”

 

Shigeki Tanimizu, Director of Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd., had the following to say:
“Generative AI is a technology that plays a critical role in improving operational efficiency and creating new value for enterprises, and it will continue to be a key driver accelerating digital transformations. However, as its adoption rapidly expands, risks such as information leaks, compliance violations, and deviations from policy are becoming more pronounced, leading many companies to hesitate in adopting AI. Our collaboration with ZeroTrusted.ai addresses these challenges by providing an AI utilization environment that balances security with usability. Through a zero-trust security approach, enterprises can confidently integrate generative AI into their operations and strengthen their competitiveness. Through this partnership, we will provide robust support to Japanese companies in leveraging AI innovatively without the fear of risks and contribute to the realization of a prosperous digital society.”
