Pole To Win Holdings — Subsidiary SynX Partners with Image One to Expand Cybersecurity Business for Healthcare DX

SynX, a consolidated subsidiary of Pole To Win Holdings, has begun collaborating with Image One, which has a track record in the implementation and operational support of healthcare information systems. The partnership aims to expand the cybersecurity business for the medical DX market.

The medical DX market is accelerating as electronic medical records become more widely adopted and the use of cloud services advances. According to a survey by Fuji Keizai, Japan's domestic market is expected to reach ¥781.8 billion in 2025 and expand to more than ¥1 trillion by 2030. At the same time, the risks of ransomware and information leaks are increasing, creating a need for advanced security measures at medical institutions.

SynX provides vulnerability assessments, penetration testing and security consulting, while Image One has strengths in the implementation and operational support of healthcare information systems, including electronic medical records, PACS and RIS. By combining their strengths, the companies will establish a comprehensive support framework covering assessment, improvement proposals and operational assistance.

The group places importance on growth in Japan's domestic Tech sector, centered on software testing, IT solutions and cybersecurity. The collaboration is positioned as an initiative aimed at expanding the cybersecurity business in the medical DX market. Although the near-term impact on performance is expected to be limited, the collaboration may lead to expanded medium- to long-term growth opportunities.

Regarding the outlook for the medical DX market, a Fuji Keizai survey estimates that the market will reach ¥781.8 billion in 2025 and exceed ¥1 trillion in 2030.
