Quad Miners is expanding its presence in Japan’s financial and public sectors through its local subsidiary, Quad Miners Japan. The company’s flagship solution is ‘Network Blackbox,’ an NDR (Network Detection and Response) platform that captures and analyzes network anomalies at the packet level. In Japan, the company is running proof-of-concept (PoC) projects with regional financial institutions, local governments, and manufacturers, and has secured an equity investment from Fuva Brain—a firm listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) Standard Market—while being named the preferred bidder for a government-affiliated security project.
Expanding in Japan through Quad Miners Japan
Quad Miners is a cybersecurity company founded by four security experts. Its business in Japan is led by its local subsidiary, Quad Miners Japan, headed by CEO So Myung-seob, who joined the company in 2021. Full-scale local operations in Japan began in the second half of 2022.
Flagship Solution ‘Network Blackbox’ and NDR Technology
Quad Miners’ core offering falls within the NDR (Network Detection and Response) category, under the product name ‘Network Blackbox.’ The solution captures and retains network traffic down to the packet level without loss, and performs full-traffic inspection across the entire dataset. This enables security teams to trace earlier signs of intrusion and respond before an incident results in actual damage. Quad Miners is the only Korean company to have been listed in Gartner’s NDR-related reports for five consecutive years, most recently appearing in a report on hybrid NDR platforms.
Adoption in Korea
In Korea, the solution has been deployed across major financial institutions—including large banks—as well as public agencies, key government facilities, and large enterprises. Several domestic financial-sector players have also participated as investors after adopting the product.
Business Development in the Japanese Market
In Japan, Quad Miners is running proof-of-concept (PoC) projects with regional banks and other financial institutions, local governments, and manufacturers. While meeting the cybersecurity guidelines set by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), the company is building a track record centered on regional banks and shinkin (credit) banks. Its goal is to become a security solution widely adopted across the Japanese financial industry.
Local Investment and Partnership in Japan
In 2024, Quad Miners secured an equity investment from Fuva Brain, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) Standard Market. The deal represents direct capital participation by a listed Japanese company. The two companies are also collaborating to serve Japan’s small and medium-sized business (SMB) market.
Public and Government Sector Initiatives
In Japan, Quad Miners has been named the preferred bidder for a security project commissioned by a government-affiliated organization. The company plans to build on this to expand into the private financial sector and the large-enterprise market.
