Global Security Experts Inc. (Head Office: 1-16-1 Kaigan, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shiro Aoyagi; Securities Code: 4417; hereinafter “GSX”) and CoWorker Inc. (Head Office: 3-3-13 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazuki Yamasato; hereinafter “CoWorker”) have concluded a strategic business alliance. This alliance will accelerate the promotion of GSX's 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent,' which GSX aims to achieve from fiscal year 2026, and seeks further growth in the AI era.
## GSX Group's 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent'
As AI technology is predicted to become a new technology foundation, GSX and the GSX Group have thoroughly analyzed the transformation of the technology sector, market changes, and customer shifts expected in the next 5 to 10 years. Based on this analysis, we have redefined our ideal state, achievable only by leveraging the expertise cultivated over 26 years in cybersecurity, and formulated the 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent' defining three 'evolutions.'
### [GSX Group's 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent']
- "Muscularization" of existing businesses (efficiency improvement and strengthened price competitiveness through AI)
- "Acquisition of new value proposition" in the cybersecurity field (creation of new services through AI)
- "Development of new markets" leveraging cybersecurity know-how (development of an AI market implemented with security)
## CoWorker's Strengths: "Security x AI" Technical Expertise and Overwhelming Development Speed
Founded in 2019, CoWorker is a group of engineers led by Representative Kazuki Yamasato, specializing in IT consulting and service (product) development focused on AI and security. Their major strength lies in their implementation capabilities across system development, IT consulting, and security, unbound by specific domains, and their co-creation approach tailored to customer challenges, which ensures that AI does not end as mere PoC (Proof of Concept) but is integrated into actual operations, systems, and management. They have also grown their business by practicing the “0→1→Operational Optimization” style, which involves accompanying clients from problem recognition to strategic planning utilizing AI, launching new businesses (services), and optimizing operations.
## CoWorker's Original AI Agent Security Service
Leveraging traditional development technologies, security expertise, and consulting know-how, CoWorker offers original AI agent-based cybersecurity solutions. This is a constantly evolving AI agent service that brings together technology to counter threats in the AI era.
## Objective of the Alliance: Accelerating "Speed" and Enhancing "Certainty" in Strategy Execution
GSX Group's 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent' can be realized by incorporating AI technology based on the strengths of existing GSX Group businesses. However, to implement the strategy, high technical capabilities, rapid development speed to materialize concepts in a short period, and a consistent support system from 0 to 1 to operational optimization are indispensable. Therefore, through this alliance with CoWorker, which possesses "Security x AI" technical expertise and overwhelming development speed and has practiced "0→1→Operational Optimization," we will simultaneously increase the speed and certainty of strategy execution.
## Future Developments
The GSX Group will, through this alliance, translate the three strategies defined in the 'Growth Strategy in the Era of AI Ascent' into concrete measures and establish a system to ensure quality while shortening development and delivery lead times. In particular, an acceleration of measures is expected in "creation of new services through AI" and "development of an AI market implemented with security."
## Comments from Each Company
### Kazuki Yamasato, Representative Director, CoWorker Inc.
With the advancement of AI technology, corporate cybersecurity faces a phase demanding even higher sophistication and automation. CoWorker has uniquely developed and implemented autonomous solutions such as AI agent-based vulnerability assessments, forensics, and malware analysis, making "0→1→Operational Optimization" our strength in integrating these into client operations. We are confident that by combining the deep domain knowledge and customer base of GSX, which has led the domestic market in cybersecurity for 26 years, with our AI implementation capabilities and development speed, we can deliver new security services that preempt AI-era threats with assured quality and overwhelming speed. Through this alliance, we will contribute to building a social infrastructure where Japanese companies can safely utilize AI, achieving further growth and enhancing corporate value for both companies.
