Enhancing Security Solutions for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Through Partnership
WithSecure announced that its WithSecure Elements EDR and EPP Premium, along with WithSecure Managed Detection and Response (MDR), have been adopted for “IT Expert Services”, the IT support service provided by FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. Service delivery will begin in February 2026, enabling both companies to offer more advanced endpoint security to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) through their strengthened partnership.
Cybersecurity threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication year after year. SMBs, in particular, often have fewer resources to dedicate to security than large enterprises, making them more vulnerable to targeted attacks and ransomware. Meanwhile, supply-chain attacks and insider threats are increasing across organizations of all sizes, turning the risk of data leaks and operational downtime into a serious concern. As a result, implementing advanced security measures has become an urgent priority – even for SMBs.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) continuously monitors various activities on endpoints, detecting, recording, and analyzing suspicious behavior and unknown threats in real time. This makes it possible to identify attack vectors and traces that traditional antivirus solutions often miss – such as targeted attacks and malware infiltration – and enables rapid initial response. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) builds on EDR by providing 24/7 monitoring, analysis, and response by professional security analysts. Even organizations lacking in-house security expertise can receive high-level threat detection and incident response from external specialists. This allows both large enterprises and SMBs to implement advanced security measures despite limited resources, helping minimize damage and accelerate recovery in the event of a cyberattack.
For over a decade, WithSecure has provided WithSecure Elements EPP as the PC-client antivirus service within ‘beat’ – a one-stop, low-cost solution delivering secure, simple, and convenient network environments for FUJIFILM Business Innovation. More than 100,000 devices currently run EPP through this service. By newly providing EDR and MDR as the core of endpoint security for IT Expert Services, WithSecure can support more SMBs in building robust security environments.
Commenting on the launch of this new collaboration, Tsuyoshi Fujioka, Japan Country Manager, WithSecure, said:
“We are delighted that, through this new collaboration with FUJIFILM Business Innovation – a company with a long-standing track record and trusted reputation in the market – we can provide safe and secure IT environments to even more organizations. FUJIFILM Business Innovation has an excellent security response team, and by combining their strengths with WithSecure’s award-winning EDR/MDR, we will leverage the capabilities of both companies to help enhance the security posture of SMB customers who often have limited security resources.”
Shiro Kikuchi, Senior General Manager of the Business Solutions Division at FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corporation, added:
”We are very pleased to announce the launch of ’IT Expert Services Endpoint Detection and Response’ and ’IT Expert Services Managed Detection and Response’ as new additions to our IT Expert Services lineup through this collaboration with WithSecure. IT Expert Services has been provided as an IT support service assisting customers with their IT operations and management tasks. Recognizing that countermeasures against increasingly advanced and sophisticated cyberattacks are essential, we are evolving our services beyond traditional operations and maintenance to include more advanced security measures. With WithSecure’s EDR/MDR at the core, we will provide comprehensive support – from maintaining and operating organizations’ IT environment to incident response and continuous improvement – aiming to realize our vision: ’An office environment where nothing happens, nothing worries you.’”
