Artemis

What Artemis does

Artemis Inc. (株式会社アルテミス) is a Japanese information security company founded in September 1995 and headquartered in Koto-ku, Tokyo, with branch offices in Osaka and Chiba. The company employs approximately 45 people and operates exclusively within Japan, supplying network security hardware and professional security services to small and medium enterprises as its primary segment, with secondary service to government agencies and financial institutions. Distribution is executed through a nationwide channel partner network rather than a direct sales force.

The company's proprietary product portfolio centers on the X-CP series of Unified Threat Management appliances, the X-Gate series of security gateways for SMEs, the X-Rack rackmount line, the XTM centralized security management platform, and the compact Core-Rack for small offices. Complementary proprietary offerings include the RiP System for agentless unauthorized PC detection, PAT IT asset management software, and the i-check2000 series of manual web application security diagnostic services performed by certified engineers. Artemis also distributes and supports third-party security products, serving as the Japanese partner for WithSecure (formerly F-Secure) endpoint solutions and Check Point Software Technologies.

Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales of proprietary appliances, professional security diagnostic services such as i-check2000 (priced from 300,000 yen for 10 programs), recurring product support and maintenance subscriptions, and third-party software licensing distribution. The go-to-market is channel-led via partners including security vendors, SI vendors, OA equipment dealers, telecom dealers, software companies, xSPs, and data centers. Group company ArtemisBP, established in 2013 as a spin-off of the security sales division, focuses specifically on nationwide distributor sales of UTM-centered products, reinforcing the channel-first commercial model.
