Privileged Remote Access for IT, OT & Third Parties

What Is Safous?

Safous brings privileged access management to remote access. Instead of network access and shared passwords, each administrator, engineer, third-party vendor or AI agent gets just-in-time access to one approved system. Credentials stay vaulted and are injected into the session. Approvals apply where you need them, and every session is recorded for audit, across IT, OT and IoT.

With a VPN or jump server

The device joins your network
Users can reach far more than they need
Standing access that stays open
Anyone with the password gets in, from any device or location
Shared accounts, little record of what happened

With Safous

A verified identity reaches one approved application
Just-in-time access that expires, with approvals when needed
Access conditions by user, device posture, source and time
Credentials vaulted and injected, never shown
Every session monitored and recorded

FOOD MANUFACTURING · GLOBAL

Global food manufacturer

Challenge: OEMs and contractors needed seven logins to reach one machine over VPN.

Result: One browser-based portal for employees, contractors and OEMs across 150 sites, rolled out in under 90 days, with file scanning built in.

AUTOMOTIVE · GLOBAL

Global automaker

Challenge: Across more than 10 production sites, IT remote access tools did not work with OT systems, and agents could not be installed on OT assets.

Result: Agentless, fully audited OT access replaced the VPN and aligned IT security with plant operations.

MARITIME · INDONESIA

Maritime operator

Challenge: Remote maintenance of lighthouses, offshore plants and port facilities relied on a vulnerable access tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Safous?

Safous Privileged Remote Access is a remote privileged access management (RPAM) platform from IIJ (Internet Initiative Japan), Japan's first internet service provider and a Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime-listed company serving more than 10,000 organizations. It gives employees, administrators and third-party vendors controlled, recorded access to IT and OT systems without a VPN.

How is Safous different from a VPN?

A VPN connects a device to your network. Safous connects a verified identity to one approved application, with MFA, approvals and session recording.

Is Safous available in Southeast Asia and Japan?

Yes. Safous runs through PoPs worldwide, with dense coverage across Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Japan, as well as North America and Europe. It can also use a private PoP. Support is available 24x7 in English and Japanese.

Where is our data stored?

Credentials, logs and session recordings stay in your own network on the Safous AppGateway. Traffic is routed through Safous PoPs, but your data is not hosted in the cloud.

How long does deployment take?

Most teams are up and running the same day. A global food manufacturer rolled Safous out to 150 sites in under 90 days.

Which regulations does Safous help with?

Safous supports access-control requirements in Singapore CCoP 2.0, Malaysian, Thai and Philippine cybersecurity rules, ISA/IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST CSF.

Can Safous control access by AI agents?

Yes. AI agents can connect through Safous like any other privileged user. You can require human approval before each session, limit the agent to specific applications, and record every session for audit.
