PFU Company Overview

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will issue the "Factory Security Guidelines," aimed at raising the security level of factory systems, as early as this autumn. Thinking "we should be fine" is already dangerous! Saying "I'll do it someday" is already too late! If there are insufficient measures in the supply chain companies, such as business partners and suppliers, it could impact your own company... PFU's Hira, an Information Security Support Specialist and Industrial Cybersecurity Expert, will clearly explain the outline of the guidelines and representative security measures. Additionally, we will introduce our services and products that support uninterrupted factory operations. ■ Program 1 Introduction to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Factory Security Guidelines" 2 The first step towards realizing the "Factory Security Guidelines"!

We exhibited our factory equipment/network visualization device "iNetSec FC" at the "Embedded/Edge Computing Expo (ESEC)" held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 6 to 8, 2022. We heard the following comments from visitors: "We are advancing the introduction of DX and IoT, but the number of devices and networks keeps increasing. Until now, we have managed them manually, but we can't keep up with the updates." "The person in charge of managing the factory network has retired, and I have decided to take over this year. The predecessor managed it alone for many years, so it has become a black box." To improve factory productivity and achieve a non-stop factory, it is crucial to prevent equipment and network troubles in advance and to respond immediately when issues arise. The first step in this process is to understand the current situation of the increasing number of devices and the complex network in the factory, which means "visualization." By using iNetSec FC, even in production sites without network expertise, you can visualize devices and networks simply by connecting them, allowing for quick troubleshooting.

Since our announcement last October, we have received a lot of feedback, and we will start selling "iNetSec FC," which supports the realization of uninterrupted factories, from March 18 (Friday). *Shipping will begin on April 5 (Tuesday). Additionally, we have created a webpage where you can easily apply for a loan of the evaluation unit via a web browser, so we kindly ask you to consider the introduction and operation of "iNetSec FC." ↓ Click the related links below ↓
