— Accelerating HENNGE One Sales through MSPs in the U.S. by Integrating WithSecure’s EDR into HENNGE Inc.
HENNGE K.K. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Kazuhiro Ogura) and WithSecure Corporation (Headquarters: Helsinki, Finland; CEO: Antti Koskela) are pleased to announce the expansion of their strategic partnership based on existing agreements between the two companies to include HENNGE Inc. (Headquarters: California, USA; CEO: Robert Sharp), the North American business entity of HENNGE K.K.
This agreement marks a significant milestone in their collaboration by combining HENNGE’s extensive cloud security portfolio with WithSecure’s globally recognized expertise in MSP-specialized products. As the inaugural phase of the broadened strategic alliance, HENNGE’s service delivery has already begun in the United States in April 2026, aiming to drive further sales growth of “HENNGE One,” HENNGE’s signature cloud security service.
Background
HENNGE K.K. and WithSecure have maintained a close and long-standing partnership, built on a shared commitment to protecting organizations through innovative security technology. This relationship began with HENNGE Cloud Protection, an email security solution powered by WithSecure’s cloud protection engine, which has been delivered to organizations across Japan.
In March 2026, the partnership reached a major milestone with the official launch of HENNGE Endpoint & Managed Security, a comprehensive solution that integrates WithSecure’s security engine at the core of its EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) and EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform), along with MDR (Managed Detection and Response) and vulnerability assessment. The service has already attracted significant interest, particularly from companies struggling to find specialized security personnel, and initial implementations have already begun.
Building on this domestic track record and the trust developed between both companies, HENNGE K.K., HENNGE Inc., and WithSecure have accelerated their joint strategy discussions, leading to today’s agreement.

First Initiative Under the Partnership: Providing multi-tenant management functions for MSPs in the U.S.
Given the unique nature of the North American market, HENNGE Inc. has prioritized the establishment of MSP (Managed Service Provider) partnerships as a core component of its regional expansion strategy.
Through the partnership between the three companies, MSPs working with HENNGE Inc. gain access to one of WithSecure’s defining strengths: a multi-tenant architecture that enables partners to deploy and monitor security policies across multiple client organizations from a single pane of glass. This allows MSPs to dramatically improve operational efficiency while maintaining the granular, per-customer control their clients expect.
The following product lines, equipped with multi-tenant capabilities, were integrated into the U.S. HENNGE One portfolio as part of a specific initiative and have been available since April 2026.
- HENNGE Endpoint & Managed Security brings the same enterprise-grade endpoint security already available in Japan to HENNGE Inc.’s global customer base. Powered by WithSecure Elements — a platform recognized with multiple awards by AV-TEST and other leading independent testing organizations — it delivers EPP, EDR, and 24/7 MDR as a single, integrated offering.
- HENNGE Cloud Protection is an email security solution built on WithSecure’s cloud protection technology, already available through HENNGE Inc. With WithSecure powering both endpoint and email security across the HENNGE One portfolio, HENNGE Inc.’s MSP partners gain a cohesive, end-to-end security offering they can confidently bring to their customers.
