Launch of Cybersecurity Strategy Roadmap Development Support Service

ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Tatsushi Shingu, President and CEO; hereinafter “CTC”) will launch “Cybersecurity Strategy Roadmap Development Support Service”, our proprietary service to comprehensively support companies in strengthening their cybersecurity measures. Based on the internationally recognized guidelines for cybersecurity defense measures^*1, this service examines and assesses the current state of customers' security measures and supports the formulation of effective countermeasure plans that take into account the impact on their business operations. We will offer the service to a wide range of industries and aim to achieve sales of 2 billion yen over the next three years.

In recent years, corporate IT systems have integrated a wide variety of applications and services, and their operations have become increasingly complex. In order to counter increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, it is important to accurately assess the effectiveness of security measures for their systems and identify issues, which requires professionals with advanced expertise and skills.

The new service supports building an effective roadmap for implementing cyberattack countermeasures. We examine and assess customers’ current security posture in detail and identify priority issues based on their business impact.

The service consists of the following three steps, which are completed in three months.

STEP 1

Examine the current situation through a questionnaire-style checklist and interviews

STEP 2

Assess security posture and identify issues using international guidelines for cyberattacks and CTC's extensive expertise

STEP 3

Prioritize issues, create a list of the issues with recommended measures, and provide a roadmap for the next three years for consideration and implementation of the countermeasures

Following provision of this service, a comprehensive support service is also available. The service proposes optimal solutions, including selection of necessary products and services for security measures based on the assessment results, and covers from implementation to operation of security measures.

CTC has been providing the “Security Assessment Service,” our service for incident responses based on the “NIST SP 800-61^*2 ”, comprehensive guidelines designed to assist organizations in developing effective incident response capabilities published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States^*2. The newly launched service has been developed to focus on formulating more efficient and practical countermeasure plans.

Going forward, CTC will continue expanding our security service offerings, leveraging our extensive product portfolio and expertise to help enterprise customers strengthen cybersecurity and ensure stable system operations.
