Press Release Information Title: Saviynt Expands AI-Driven Identity Security Business in Japan Through Joint Venture with Assist

TOKYO, Japan — June 8, 2026— Saviynt, a provider of AI-driven identity security platforms, today announced a strategic joint venture with Assist to accelerate the adoption of AI-enabled identity security in Japan. This joint venture expands Saviynt's local presence and gives customers easier access to localized support, implementation expertise, and partner engagement as organizations modernize their identity management programs for the AI era.

As Japanese companies accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation (DX), identity security is becoming increasingly critical for governance, compliance, and cyber resilience. This development further heightens the need for AI-enabled identity security as enterprises prepare for a surge of autonomous AI systems operating across business environments. IDC projects that the number of AI agents will reach 1.3 billion by 2028, while Deloitte's 'State of AI Report 2026' reveals that only one in five organizations has established mature governance for autonomous AI agents.

Founded in 1972, Assist is one of Japan's leading IT solution providers, known for its customer-first approach, strong corporate relationships, and technical support expertise across key industries. Through this joint venture, Saviynt and Assist will help organizations modernize identity governance, protect human and non-human access, and strengthen governance of AI-driven systems and emerging machine identities as enterprises accelerate their DX and AI transformation initiatives.

"The Japan market is highly strategic for Saviynt, especially as organizations accelerate AI adoption and modernize their cybersecurity strategies," said Alex Lei, Senior Vice President of Sales for Asia Pacific and Japan. "Our joint venture with Assist embodies our long-term commitment to the region and our shared dedication to delivering exceptional customer outcomes. By working together, we can provide customers with the platform innovation, local expertise, and execution support needed to scale modern identity programs more quickly, reliably, and securely."

"As organizations across Japan modernize operations and adopt AI technologies at scale, identity security is becoming a top priority," said Tatsuo Otsuka, President and CEO of Assist. "Assist has supported Japanese enterprise customers for over 50 years. We are delighted to combine our local experience with Saviynt's identity security platform to help customers enhance agility, strengthen governance, and realize long-term value."

Sandy Halim, Global Information Security Leader at LIXIL, a Saviynt customer, commented:

"The establishment of Saviynt's Japan entity is a significant milestone not only for LIXIL but for the entire identity security community in Japan. With a strong local presence, prompt support, and adaptation to Japan-specific governance requirements, we are confident that Japanese companies can advance identity security with greater reliability. This is a very positive step to accelerate Japan's digital transformation."

The joint venture will provide localized identity security support, governance expertise, and implementation services to customers in manufacturing, automotive, financial services, infrastructure, and the public sector.
