Ardent Networks, a premier ICT distributor in the Philippines, has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with Intelligent Wave Inc. (IWI), a Japan-based cybersecurity technology company, to strengthen its enterprise cybersecurity offerings.
Formally launched on January 15, 2026, the partnership brings CWAT (Cybercrime Warning Alert Termination) to the Philippine market. CWAT is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that integrates data leak prevention with built-in file encryption, enabling organizations to protect sensitive information without added complexity or cost.
This new collaboration expands Ardent Networks’ enterprise cybersecurity portfolio, addressing the
growing need for solutions that meet evolving regulatory and security demands.
“By bringing CWAT to the local market, we are helping organizations strengthen data protection
while navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape,” said Stephen Yu, Executive Vice
President for Sales and Marketing of Ardent Networks. “The partnership supports secure and
sustainable digital growth for businesses across the Philippines.”
Supporting this expansion, representatives from Intelligent Wave Inc. shared the company’s
approach to cybersecurity, grounded in long-term reliability and compliance. Mr. Koji Kawakami,
Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director of Intelligent Wave Inc., highlighted IWI’s more
than two decades of experience in delivering secure and compliant cybersecurity solutions. This
was followed by a product presentation from Ms. Judy Ann Shizukuishi, Product Manager of

encryption capabilities designed to help organizations proactively manage cybersecurity risks.
Through this partnership, Ardent Networks continues to expand its cybersecurity portfolio and
