In an increasingly interconnected world, the need for trusted cybersecurity partnerships is greater than ever. AKASEC, a Dutch cybersecurity firm based in The Hague, is meeting that need by offering state-level expertise in cyber threat simulation and defense to organizations across borders, including in Japan.
Founded with a focus on national cyber resilience, AKASEC specializes in advanced red teaming, simulating sophisticated cyberattacks that mirror the tactics of real-world state actors.
By leveraging stealthy ‘living off the land’ techniques, the company helps governments and critical infrastructure operators identify vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them.
AKASEC combines deep technical expertise with strategic insight, delivering tailored tooling, consulting and realistic threat simulations that strengthen an organization’s cyber posture. Its approach to offensive security emphasizes precision, discretion and nation-state realism, a crucial asset in today’s evolving threat landscape.
As Dutch-Japanese cooperation in technology and security deepens, AKASEC is forging new partnerships with Japanese companies and public-sector organizations seeking forward-thinking cyber defense strategies.
“Japan has always been close to my heart, both professionally and personally. Every visit reminds me of the country’s strong culture of excellence, discipline and innovation. We’re proud to contribute our expertise to this trusted relationship between two nations committed to digital safety,” says Jan Willem Veldhuis, CEO of AKASEC.

AKASEC sees the collaboration as more than a business opportunity. It sees it as part of a shared responsibility to anticipate and neutralize cyber risks before they escalate into real-world consequences.
The Dutch government has long supported innovation in cybersecurity, and AKASEC reflects that legacy through services that align with Japan’s commitment to resilience and advanced infrastructure protection.
From strategic red teaming engagements to custom-built tools that simulate modern threat actors, AKASEC delivers value where it matters most: understanding how adversaries think, act and infiltrate, then using that insight to strengthen defenses proactively.
As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly central to global stability, AKASEC believes that the future of cybersecurity will be defined not only by advanced technology, but by trusted international alliances. With that in mind, the company is committed to deepening its partnership with Japan and helping secure a shared digital future.
