Company profile
researched Aug 2026株式会社エーアイセキュリティラボ (AI Security Lab), operating at aeyesec.jp, is a Tokyo-based cybersecurity company whose main product is AeyeScan, a SaaS-type web application vulnerability assessment platform. AeyeScan uses AI and RPA to automate crawling and testing of web applications: AI automatically identifies login and input fields, fills in input values, and crawls and diagnoses the target site. Results are visualized as a screen-transition diagram with screen captures covering the crawled and tested scope, and reported in plain Japanese.
Beyond the scanning engine, the platform provides functions aimed at bringing vulnerability testing in-house, including shared account issuance and management and scheduling of recurring scans. The company positions its offering around enabling security testing that was previously performed by specialists to be run internally by customers, and around automating security testing within the development process (DevSecOps). Its stated mission is to reduce the personnel, time and cost required for security measures so that organizations do not need to be conscious of security.
Founding story
The company was founded in April 2019 by Ayumu Aoki, who has worked in the security industry since 2000 and previously handled planning, sales and marketing at a large corporate group company as well as organization building and leadership roles at a startup.
Business model
The company sells AeyeScan as a subscription SaaS product that customers use over the internet from a PC, supported by security research and consulting activity. It also works with partners and pursues sales to SaaS companies and firms with in-house developed products.
Revenue is derived from the AeyeScan SaaS platform, complemented by security research and consulting services.
Traction
The company reports heavy usage by large enterprises, including customers responsible for important infrastructure services, which generate frequent feature requests and feedback. It regularly exhibits and speaks at Japanese security and IT conferences, and in 2026 presented new "platform diagnosis" and "application diagnosis" features at Interop Tokyo.
Latest developments
In 2026 the company announced new "platform diagnosis" and "application diagnosis" features shown at Interop Tokyo, and scheduled exhibitions and speaking slots at Security Management Conference Roadshow 2026 Autumn in Nagoya and Osaka and at Impress AI Days 2026.
