Keeper Security Appoints Takanori Nishiyama as Senior Vice President of APAC Sales and Country Manager Japan

Nishiyama joins Keeper after a decade of experience at VMware, advancing Keeper's mission to empower organizations with industry-leading cybersecurity solutions

TOKYO, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords, passkeys, privileged access, secrets, and remote connections, is pleased to announce the appointment of Takanori Nishiyama as Senior Vice President of Asia-Pacific (APAC) Sales and Country Manager for Japan. Nishiyama brings over a decade of leadership experience from VMware, where he successfully led the End User Computing (EUC) business across APAC and Japan.

In his previous role as Senior Director at VMware, Nishiyama drove sales growth in the EUC division. Nishiyama also contributed to high-growth initiatives at Red Hat and EMC, demonstrating a strong track record in advancing businesses across the hardware, software and SaaS sectors.

Nishiyama's appointment comes as Keeper continues to expand its presence in the APAC region, following the opening of its APAC headquarters in 2023, located in the Prime Terrace KAMIYACHO building in Minato's Toranomon district of Tokyo.

"We are thrilled to welcome Nishiyama-san to the Keeper team," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. "His deep expertise of the industry and the APAC market will be instrumental in driving our mission to offer advanced Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions that simplify security management compared to traditional PAM systems. His leadership will strengthen our position as a trusted cybersecurity leader in the region."

"It is concerning that only 29% of Japanese respondents feel confident in their cybersecurity practices, particularly when it comes to password security and management. This statistic underscores the urgent need for more robust solutions in the region," said Nishiyama. "Keeper is committed to empowering organizations in Japan, and throughout the region, with our advanced password and privileged access management solutions to ensure that their data, systems and customers are protected with the highest level of security."

According to Keeper's Fortifying Cyber Resilience: Insights Into Global Cybersecurity Practices report, only 29% of Japanese respondents expressed confidence in their cybersecurity practices, particularly in password security and management. Keeper aims to address the demand for fortified cybersecurity strategies, including password and privileged access management solutions, to keep customers, data and systems secure.
