March 3rd, 2026, Tokyo, Singapore and London: Blackwired, a global cybersecurity innovation firm, today announced its first partnership in Japan with NTT Security Japan KK, expanding the availability of its ThirdWatch threat intelligence platform in the region. The partnership enables NTT Security to deliver Blackwired’s 3D threat visualisation and AI-driven, pre-emptive cyber protection capabilities to organisations across Japan.

Blackwired monitors and analyses the activity of state-sponsored attackers and advanced cybercriminals in real-time. Built on decades of operational experience, ThirdWatch draws on closed and proprietary sources to deliver highly curated threat intelligence around the clock. The platform shifts organisations from reactive defence to proactive protection by exposing adversary reconnaissance and preparation that traditional tools fail to detect.

“ThirdWatch is designed to predict and prevent cyber-attacks before they strike, reducing the risk of intellectual property theft, data loss, regulatory exposure and operational downtime,” said Jeremy Samide, CEO of Blackwired. “That’s what pre-emptive cyber defence should look like in 2026. Organisations can no longer afford to wait for alerts after the breach, they need visibility into threats before impact.”

NTT Security Japan KK has delivered advanced security support through SOC (Security Operations Center) and managed security services for more than 20 years. Through this partnership, it will enhance its risk reduction capabilities by integrating ThirdWatch, enabling earlier threat detection and prevention. The platform is particularly relevant for public sector organisations protecting national and critical infrastructure, specialist cyber defence providers, and large enterprises with extensive ecosystems of group companies and business partners, where clear prioritised visibility across extended digital ecosystems and the supply chain is essential.
