CybExer has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Cyber Defense Labs K.K. (CDLabs) to strengthen Japan’s ability to train and respond to the most advanced cyber threats.
According to CybExer, the agreement formalises the long-standing collaboration between the two organisations and replaces the previous reseller arrangement with a broader strategic alignment.
Cybersecurity posture
CybExer states that this strategic partnership comes at a critical moment for Japan’s cybersecurity posture.
The company highlights that as geopolitical tensions increase and digital infrastructure becomes a more strategic target, both the Japanese government and key organisations are under pressure to improve preparedness and operational coordination.
Active Cyber Defense Bill
CybExer reflects on the recent passage of the Active Cyber Defense Bill that signalled Japan’s intent to move decisively toward stronger public-private cyber cooperation.
That shift requires a proven, scalable and flexible cyber training environment.
CybExer and CDLabs express that they have already been working together to localise the platform, including full Japanese-language user interface support.
Collaboration
The company notes that this collaboration will now deliver a complete suite of cyber exercise capabilities, including live-fire simulations, digital twin based training environments and capture-the-flag scenarios.
The platform also addresses emerging threats such as AI-driven attacks and AI warfare, helping prepare both technical teams and decision-makers for a rapidly changing threat landscape.
CybExer states that its technology is in use in more than 60 countries and has experience in supporting organisations such as NATO and the European Space Agency.
According to the company, it will bring global insight and operational best practices to the Japanese market.
“An important milestone”
Andrus Kivisaar, CEO, CybExer stated: “Our partnership with Cyber Defense Labs is an important milestone in our mission to enhance cybersecurity around the world.”
Kivisaar added: “Japan is a key market and we are proud to support government and critical infrastructure organisations as they strengthen their cyber resilience.”
“Real operational experience”
Toru Tsuchiya, CEO, CDLabs commented: “CybExer brings global perspective and real operational experience to the table.
“Together, we aim to contribute meaningfully to Japan’s cybersecurity posture and we are committed to building an environment where cyber public-private partnerships can thrive,” Tsuchiya concluded.
