We have published a case study on measures against cyber attacks, where we built a network visualization system and established a rapid incident response framework!

As a measure against cyber attacks, we would like to introduce a case where 'Flowmon' was implemented at the National Research and Development Agency, RIKEN. Until now, IT systems were built and operated at each location, making it a challenge to centrally visualize the communication status of all sites and ensure traceability of device and server communications. We have established a system that utilizes traffic information logs from all locations for incident response, allowing us to quickly identify problematic events and optimize the entire network. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■Challenges - Centralized visualization of communication status across all locations - Ensuring traceability of device and server communications *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Explaining examples of "supply chain attacks" lurking in the manufacturing industry and the necessity of security measures. Including the case of Volkswagen! A guidebook is being offered!

In recent years, cyberattacks in the manufacturing industry have been on the rise. In particular, "supply chain attacks" targeting the supply chain have become a significant threat. In 2022, a parts supplier for Toyota Motor Corporation was hit by a cyberattack, resulting in a halt of production lines. Such attacks can cause damage not only to individual companies but also to the entire supply chain. Moreover, the damage from supply chain attacks is not limited to mere factory shutdowns. There is also the risk of confidential corporate information and personal data being leaked due to unauthorized access. Therefore, it is urgent to implement security measures for the entire supply chain. In response, our company, which provides tools for countering cyberattacks and supply chain attacks, is offering explanatory materials on cybersecurity and ransomware as measures against supply chain attacks! ■ Supply Chain Attack Countermeasure Guidebook - Ransomware Explanation - Zero Trust Explanation - Cybersecurity through Detection and Response to Network Threats and more *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Satisfied with the warning notification feature! Introducing cases where rapid problem-solving has become possible.

In 2020, SolarWinds was hit by a large-scale cyberattack, resulting in data breaches for many customers. American Savings Bank, which was looking for an alternative IT infrastructure monitoring solution, implemented 'Progress WhatsUp Gold.' After the implementation, they were able to gain detailed insights into the performance of their IT infrastructure and applications, enabling rapid problem resolution. Additionally, pre-configured alert notifications and automatically generated reports are being used effectively. [Challenges] ■ After SolarWinds' customers were affected by the cyberattack, they were looking for a scalable and user-friendly alternative IT infrastructure monitoring solution. ■ They had been consistently checking the status screens of their computers. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Because it's an invisible place, we won't overlook it." Japan's climate is characterized by high temperatures and humidity, and particularly after typhoons and heavy rains, the conditions can be harsh for homes. It's not just the roofs and exterior walls that are affected by rain and wind. The area beneath the floor is actually the most susceptible and often overlooked point. This time, we will explain the "checkpoints for under the floor" that should be confirmed after a typhoon or heavy rain, the "responses" if abnormalities are found, and measures for preventing recurrence. [Table of Contents] ■ Why is underfloor checking necessary? ■ Checkpoints to confirm after a typhoon or heavy rain ■ Responses when damage is discovered ■ Points for preventing recurrence ■ Suggestions from Seihou Products ■ Summary Please be sure to read the [related materials] and [related links]. ↓ ↓ ↓
