What Connect One does

ConnectONE Co., Ltd. is a privately held Japanese software vendor founded in September 2003 and headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo. The company provides DoCAN, a zero-trust security platform that combines a proprietary secure browser with a cloud-based gateway running on AWS infrastructure. DoCAN delivers four integrated security pillars: identity management, device control and protection, network security (including domain whitelist and routing controls), and data leakage prevention via download, cache, clipboard, screenshot, USB, and print restrictions on the endpoint. An optional RDP-to-HTML Remote Desktop module and a LibreOffice-based DoCAN Office add-on extend the platform's footprint for document editing and remote desktop use cases.

The company's second offering, Zero Trust FTA, is an original analytical methodology that applies Fault Tree Analysis techniques from reliability engineering to quantify enterprise information leakage risk using statistical incident data from approximately 1,000 Japanese companies (JIPDEC survey). Each DoCAN license includes an annual Zero Trust FTA diagnosis. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly subscriptions priced at ¥98,000 per gateway instance, with no initial costs, unlimited browser installations, and unlimited registered users under the published pricing model.

Connect One targets large Japanese enterprises with BYOD and secure remote access requirements, with a particularly strong footprint in regulated industries: life insurance, property and casualty insurance, regional banking, securities, telecommunications, local government, and large conglomerates. Disclosed deployments include a life insurance company with 9,000 users, a P&C insurer with 8,000 users, a prefectural government with 2,000 users, a securities firm with 1,000 users, and approximately 40 regional bank branch tablets connecting to about 20 life insurance company sales sites via DoCAN. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a structured 2-week free trial, channel partners including NTT DATA, Canon Marketing Japan, Hitachi Systems, and Focus Systems, and consumer app store distribution of DoCAN Browser on iOS and Android.

Direct peers

• Island: Island offers an enterprise browser with built-in zero trust controls (DLP, policy enforcement, last-mile controls) targeting BYOD and contractor access. It competes head-to-head with DoCAN's secure browser philosophy of controlling data at the browser layer on personal devices.
• Authentic8 (Silo): Authentic8's Silo is a cloud-based isolated browser for secure access to web apps and internal resources from any device. It is highly comparable to DoCAN's secure browser + cloud gateway model, especially for regulated industries and government users.
• Menlo Security: Menlo Security provides a cloud-delivered secure web gateway with browser isolation and zero trust access for enterprise and government users. It is directly comparable to Connect One's DoCAN secure browser and cloud gateway approach, particularly for BYOD and unmanaged-device use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Zscaler: Zscaler's ZIA/ZPA platform delivers cloud-based zero trust web access and private application access for global enterprises. It overlaps with DoCAN's secure browsing and identity-aware gateway capabilities but as part of a much broader SASE platform serving multinational customers.
• Netskope: Netskope provides a leading SSE/SASE platform with cloud DLP, SWG, CASB, and zero trust network access. It is comparable to DoCAN on the secure gateway and DLP dimensions while operating as a much larger incumbent platform.
• Cloudflare: Cloudflare One delivers zero trust network access, secure web gateway, and browser isolation from a global edge network. Comparable to DoCAN's cloud gateway and browser security posture while serving a vastly broader customer base.
• Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Access): Prisma Access provides SASE with zero trust, cloud-delivered SWG, and CASB capabilities. It overlaps with DoCAN's secure access and DLP features as part of a broader enterprise security portfolio.
• Cisco Secure Access (Duo): Cisco's Duo and Secure Access products provide zero trust identity, device trust, and secure application access. Comparable to DoCAN's terminal ID authentication and gateway-mediated access model within a much larger networking and security portfolio.

Regional players

• Trend Micro: Trend Micro is a leading Japanese-founded cybersecurity vendor with enterprise and SMB endpoint, network, and cloud security products. It competes broadly with Connect One in Japan for enterprise security budget and channel mindshare.
• NTT Security: NTT Security provides managed security and consulting services across Japan and globally, often partnering with Japanese enterprises and government. It is comparable as a Japan-anchored competitor and channel influence in the same buyer base as DoCAN.
