For Immediate Release
IIJ to Launch “IIJ Firewall Management Service” Overseas—Indonesia will be the first site, with specifications optimized for local companies—
TOKYO—January 8, 2020—Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet
access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced that it will launch a new,comprehensive security service overseas, complementing the cloud and networking services IIJ is currently
deploying in eight countries besides Japan. Today, IIJ will begin these efforts with the international launch ofthe IIJ Firewall Management Service, with optimized specifications for Japanese and local corporations.
Indonesia will be the site of this first launch, and IIJ Group intends to have its local ASEAN subsidiaries
provide the service.

BackgroundOf the Japanese corporations expanding overseas, roughly 70% do business in Asia. The demand for IT is
rapidly growing in the ASEAN region, as these countries put social infrastructure in place. IIJ's users, whether
Japanese or local companies, increasingly need to implement security management standards equivalent tothose enjoyed in Japan. The foreign offices also require unified security policies within their firms. Thus,
corporations must consider a multitude of issues, including reducing the costs of employing security
administrators, acquiring security technicians, responding to different service levels and security threat trends(threat intelligence) in Japan and abroad, and handling multilingual environments.
In response to these user needs, IIJ has modified the specifications of its managed firewall service—a service
that more than 1,000 Japanese companies have used since its launch in 2006—for international use and islaunching it as the IIJ Firewall Management Service.
IIJ Group engineers stationed abroad provide the service with quality equivalent to IIJ's security services inJapan. To achieve this goal, IIJ trained the engineers of Indonesian subsidiary, PT. IIJ Global Solutions
Indonesia, with the skills and knowledge they need.

Service Overview
IIJ's local subsidiaries act as the service providers for this managed firewall service that offers international
users the same level of quality IIJ has always provided. The service monitors hardware situated at the users’sites and detects anomalous communications from IIJ's monitoring systems in Japan. Engineers from IIJ's
international subsidiaries respond to failures and provide monthly reports, offering users a monthly
subscription-based, all-in-one service. Consultation and failure response (including onsite operations) services
are also available.

Future Developments and Sales Targets
Indonesia will be the site of this first launch, and in FY2020, IIJ Group intends to have its local ASEAN
subsidiaries in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam provide the same service. IIJ will continue to expand its
lineup of security services as it moves into areas outside the ASEAN region, including China, the US, andEurope.
In the next three years, IIJ aims to have more than 150 companies in the ASEAN region subscribe to the IIJ
Firewall Management Service.
