Micware Launches Security Solutions Powered by the “Wiz” Cloud and AI Security Platform

Micware Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: MWC) (the “Company” or “Micware”), a Japan-based provider of software development services and innovative IT solutions mainly focused on the automotive and mobility sectors, today announced that its subsidiary, Micware Navigations Co., Ltd. (“Micware Navigations”), in collaboration with Wiz Ltd. (“Wiz”), the provider of the “Wiz” security platform for cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) environments, has begun offering cloud and AI security solutions that utilize Wiz.

As AI-driven development and the production use of AI applications continue to expand, cloud environments are facing increasingly complex security considerations. In the automotive industry, the advancement of SDVs (Software Defined Vehicles) is also expected to increase the sophistication of security requirements for in-vehicle software. Through its development of IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) software, Micware, along with its subsidiaries, has developed knowledge in addressing automotive-grade security standards. This initiative is intended to help provide customers with practical security measures.

The adoption of AI may affect enterprise security environments in several respects. First, in development, the release velocity of AI-generated code is expected to increase, and the production use of AI services, models, Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) servers, and AI agents is also expected to grow. Second, on the attacker side, new AI attack surfaces may emerge and the speed of exploitation may accelerate. Third, with respect to protected assets, companies will need to manage new areas such as AI inventories, AI infrastructure and applications, and rogue or compromised agents. These changes are security considerations relevant to companies using cloud and AI, regardless of industry.

Leveraging Wiz’s cloud and AI security platform, Micware Navigations offers solutions that comprehensively support visibility, risk assessment, and response across customers’ cloud infrastructure, AI applications, and development lifecycles. The solution enables rapid agentless deployment without affecting systems, and through Wiz’s proprietary security graph, strongly supports contextual risk prioritization and the identification of critical risks that customers should address from among large volumes of data.

The solution covers secure development (Wiz Code), cloud posture management (Wiz Cloud), and runtime threat detection and response (Wiz Defend) and is intended to enable proactive responses to emerging security risks associated with the expanding use of AI technologies by enterprises and cyberattacks that use AI. For example, in SDV development and connected platforms that drive next-generation mobility, advanced and integrated monitoring is essential for areas such as protecting cloud-based application programming interface (API) endpoints that communicate directly with vehicles, strictly configuring access controls and guardrails, and addressing cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities.

This solution is intended to support the development of cloud security posture relevant to SDVs, including a CSMS (Cybersecurity Management System), and contribute to the creation of secure and reliable connected environments. End-to-End Services Provided by Micware Navigations Micware Navigations’ engineers, who have experience addressing the extremely stringent security requirements demanded of in-vehicle software as well as advanced cloud integration experience, provide end-to-end support from deployment through adoption of the “Wiz AI-Application Protection Pl...
