Today VAIO Corporation (Head office: Azumino City, Nagano
Prefecture, Japan; President: Hidetoshi Yoshida) and Janus
Technologies Inc. (Head office: Silicon Valley, CA 94086, U.S.A.;
CEO: Sofin Raskin) are announcing an integration between VAIO’s
platform and Janus’s BIOS-based technology for endpoint security.
This collaboration will bring together a best-of-breed solution to
help strengthen security against the latest cyber threats.
“The opportunity to work with Janus enables us to strengthen the
prevention of cyber threats from the outside and potential threats
inside, assuring that employees and employers have a safe and
productive work environment. VAIO is excited to partner with Janus
on this new security solution which brings BIOS-level protection to
VAIO computers,” says Ryosuke Akahane, Executive Vice President of
VAIO. “We will start this business in the U.S. and consider
expanding to other countries. We hope there will be many attendees
who will witness the VAIO® PC in action at the RSA show.”
The Janus Secure Computer technology consists of a BIOS-centric
security module with centralized network management and an
analytics platform. Janus provides a stronger defense by creating a
hardware-defined security perimeter inside each endpoint. For more

“We are thrilled to join forces with VAIO to make this new
technology accessible,” said Sofin Raskin, Janus Technologies Inc.

enhanced security functionality. By partnering with VAIO, we are
able to radically alter the status quo and deliver far greater
protection against today’s increasing cyber threats.”
Janus will be participating in the RSA Conference USA 2018 from
