TOKYO, JAPAN, January 8, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com\/ \u2014 SAYA Cybersecurity Awareness (\u201cSAYA\u201d), a Japan-focused training platform dedicated to strengthening human-centric cybersecurity awareness through anime-style e-learning and interactive quizzes, today extended the availability of its cybersecurity awareness training through NTT DOCOMO gacco, one of Japan\u2019s most trusted digital learning platforms for enterprises, used by over 1 million learners nationwide. Together, the two organizations continue to support enterprise-scale, culturally fluent cybersecurity education across Japan.
\nCybersecurity incidents in Japan continue to be driven primarily by human behavior rather than technical system failures. Yet many awareness programs available to Japanese organizations rely on translated or generic content that fails to resonate with employees or meaningfully change behavior\u2014leaving enterprises exposed to preventable risk.
\nCybersecurity threats facing today\u2019s workforce have evolved rapidly, particularly with the rise of AI. Modern attacks increasingly leverage AI-optimized phishing, deepfake impersonation, and highly personalized social engineering techniques that are far more difficult for employees to detect. These threats target not only technical vulnerabilities, but also human judgment, trust, and everyday decision-making\u2014placing new demands on cybersecurity awareness education.
\nSAYA Cybersecurity Awareness was built specifically to address this challenge in Japan. All SAYA content is originally developed in Japanese\u2014not translated\u2014and designed around Japanese workplace culture, communication norms, and real-world threat scenarios, including emerging AI-driven risks. Training is delivered through short, engaging anime-style micro-learning modules that learners are more likely to complete, understand, and retain.
\nSAYA\u2019s cybersecurity awareness training is currently available as an official learning path for Japanese employees within NTT DOCOMO gacco\u2019s enterprise learning environment known as \u201cGacco for Biz.\u201d This empowers organizations to directly view and deploy SAYA through gacco\u2019s Learning Management System (LMS). The availability of this program provides enterprises with immediate visibility into the structure, content, and delivery format of SAYA\u2019s security awareness training for all employees within a nationally trusted learning platform.

\nWith NTT DOCOMO gacco\u2019s broad adoption among large enterprises and educational institutions, extending the availability of SAYA\u2019s security awareness training through this platform supports deeper security literacy across Japan\u2019s workforces and learning communities. This approach helps organizations reinforce day-to-day cyber hygiene and build long-term resilience through ongoing education delivered within a familiar and trusted learning ecosystem of the NTT DOCOMO brand.
\nSAYA\u2019s mission extends beyond enterprise environments. Through its consumer-focused offerings, including safety and digital literacy programs provided as part of our \u201cAnshin (\u5b89\u5fc3)\u201d or \u201cSafety\u201d bundles, SAYA makes cybersecurity awareness education accessible to everyday people on any device\u2014helping individuals, families, and communities better protect themselves from online fraud, manipulation, scams, and emerging digital threats in daily life.
\nThrough NTT DOCOMO gacco\u2019s enterprise learning platform, which supports learning at scale for more than 1 million users, organizations can efficiently deliver cybersecurity awareness training across large and distributed workforces. This embeds security education into everyday learning alongside other professional and compliance programs.
\n\u201cCybersecurity in Japan is no longer a technology gap\u2014it\u2019s a human one,\u201d said Crystal Lopez, Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of SAYA University. \u201cAwareness must reach not only employees, but also everyday people navigating digital life. By extending SAYA\u2019s training through NTT DOCOMO gacco, we can deliver natively Japanese, culturally fluent cybersecurity education at enterprise scale\u2014while reinforcing a broader culture of safety and awareness across Japanese society.\u201d
\nSAYA\u2019s training addresses a broad range of modern risks, including social engineering, business email compromise, ransomware awareness, QR-code fraud, insider risk, data protection, privacy, and generative AI\u2013related security concerns.
\nBy combining SAYA\u2019s human-centric cybersecurity approach with the scale and trust of NTT DOCOMO gacco\u2019s learning infrastructure, organizations\u2014and individuals\u2014gain a credible, scalable, and sustainable path to strengthening cybersecurity awareness and digital safety.
