Marubun to Exhibit at 'BtoB Growth EXPO for IT/Information Systems' on June 9

Electronics trading house Marubun Corporation (Representative Director, President & CEO: Hiroshi Horikoshi, Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter 'Marubun') will exhibit at the 'BtoB Growth EXPO for IT/Information Systems' held at Otemachi Place Hall & Conference on Tuesday, June 9.

With the rapid adoption of generative AI, IT departments are facing new challenges such as 'Shadow AI' and sensitive data leakage. In this session and exhibition booth, Marubun will present a next-generation security strategy designed not to restrict AI usage, but to accelerate it safely.

The panel discussion, featuring NTT Docomo Business and SentinelOne, will discuss, from the perspectives of SIer, user, and manufacturer, strategies for IT departments to transition from 'stoppers' to 'enablers' of safe AI usage in 2026, where AI agents operate autonomously.

## Challenge 1: Preventing Sensitive Data Leakage from Generative AI
Marubun will help visualize and control all AI usage within an organization, from daily employee use to autonomous 'AI agents,' building a governance foundation to allow safe and productive AI adoption.

[Solution]
Prompt Security (a SentinelOne Company)

[Overview]
A platform that automatically identifies over 10,000 generative AI applications and monitors/protects them in real-time through browser extensions and gateways.

[Benefits]
Real-time protection of sensitive data: Automatically anonymizes and sanitizes personal and confidential information in prompts, physically blocking leakage.
Complete visualization of Shadow AI: Instantly detects unauthorized AI tool usage and promotes switching to secure corporate accounts based on risk scores.
Next-generation AI (MCP) support: Protects advanced AI environments of 2026 by supporting 'MCP,' the new protocol for autonomous AI agent communication.

## Challenge 2: Defending Against Sophisticated AI-Generated Targeted Attacks
About 90% of data breaches are due to 'human vulnerability' rather than system weaknesses. To counter modern phishing attacks created with perfect Japanese and context by AI, Marubun provides practical, AI-driven defense training rather than conventional, ineffective methods.

[Solution]
AironWorks

[Overview]
An AI-driven security training and education platform developed by white-hat hackers formerly of the Israel Defense Forces' elite intelligence unit 'Unit 8200.'

[Benefits]
AI-optimized training: 'Core AI' analyzes corporate public information and latest threat trends to automatically generate training simulations tailored to each employee's role and duties.
Significant reduction in operational load: Fully automates the planning, delivery, analysis, and follow-up of training, ensuring continuous education without adding burden to busy IT managers.
Building a 'Human Firewall': Transforms employees from passive users into 'organizational sensors' who detect and report threats with a single click.
