In Japan, KDDI will also offer its own KDDI Security Cloud features including its cloud access security broker (CASB) offering, which is designed to cover multiple cloud services with a single security policy.

The 37 markets the service is being launched in include the APAC markets of Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Myanmar, India and Australia.
