  Asgent,Inc.,(Tokyo, Japan / President: Takahiro Sugimoto / TSE Standard: 4288 / hereinafter "Asgent") a leading provider of security and IT operations management solutions, announced today that the file sanitization solution^＊1 developed by Votiro (now part of Menlo Security, the pioneer in browser security.^＊2) and distributed by Asgent has been ranked No.1 in market share for the eighth consecutive year in Japan’s email and file sanitization market^＊3. This recognition is based on the findings of the latest market research report, ITR Market View: Endpoint/Secure Browser/Microsegmentation/Sanitization/CNAPP/ DSPM/ XDR Market 2025, published by ITR Corporation.

Amid the growing threat of sophisticated cyberattacks, Votiro‘s file sanitization solution is built on a Zero Trust principle, treating every file as a potential risk, regardless of its origin.Votiro proactively sanitizes all incoming files that enter an organization through various channels, including email, collaboration tools, and web access. Instead of relying on traditional, detection-based methods like antivirus (AV) or sandboxing, Votiro utilizes its patented, advanced Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology. This solution offers higher accuracy in sanitization and recursively sanitizes embedded files, providing real-time protection against complex threats. This ensures that hidden malware and zero-day exploits are neutralized without disrupting user workflow. As a result, it has been adopted by numerous organizations for critical services such as municipal government security clouds, LGWAN-ASP platforms, and electronic application systems. The Votiro CDR solution for municipalities has been deployed by numerous municipalities across Japan. In addition, it has been integrated into the file sanitization function of LGTalk, an LGWAN-compliant business chat system used by over 400 municipalities and public organizations nationwide^*4.

Meanwhile, Votiro Secure File Transfer, is an enterprise-focused, SaaS-compatible file sanitization platform designed to seamlessly integrate with collaboration tools and business applications. The solution has been increasingly adopted by credit card companies and other financial organizations, including banks and credit unions, to defend against file-borne threats.

Regarding these survey results, Hiroto Takayanagi, Country Manager of Menlo Security Japan, a subsidiary of Menlo Security Inc.,commented as follows: “We are delighted to have achieved the No. 1 vendor-specific revenue share in the domestic email sanitization/file sanitization market for eight consecutive years. We interpret this achievement as a result of the support we have received for our “sanitization” approach, which focuses on ensuring data security rather than relying on traditional methods of detecting attacks, as these methods have reached their limits in defending against cyber threats. As companies strive to improve productivity through digital transformation, changes in work styles, cloud migration, and AI adoption, the exchange of data with external parties is increasing significantly, and attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated on a daily basis. Menlo Security will continue to collaborate with Asgent to contribute to reducing security risks.”
