Launch of CTC-SOC Managed Security Service Leveraging CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM

ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Tatsushi Shingu, President and CEO; hereinafter CTC) has expanded our partnership with CrowdStrike and launched a new service that integrates CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM into our security monitoring and operations support service, CTC-SOC^*1, which provides 24/7/365 real-time monitoring of customer systems. By combining the 24/7/365 monitoring by dedicated security analysts with AI-driven automation, the new service improves operational efficiency. This reduces customers’ operational burden while delivering advanced security monitoring and operations.

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated and AI-powered attacks continue to rise, companies are adopting a wide variety of security products. However, differences among products and system environments have made log management increasingly complex, and conventional SIEM^*2 solutions face challenges in integrating dispersed logs. In addition, leveraging collected logs for around-the-clock monitoring requires advanced security expertise, making it difficult for many companies to establish an in-house 24/7/365 monitoring framework.

To address these challenges, the CTC-SOC Managed Security Service combines monitoring by dedicated security analysts with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to enable continuous security monitoring and rapid threat detection and response. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM collects and consolidates a wide range of logs in real time on the Falcon platform. By combining Falcon platform native and third-party data with real-time threat intelligence and AI-driven automation, the solution enables early detection of threats that are difficult to identify from individual logs alone. This provides enhanced threat visibility and highly accurate alerts required for SOC operations, as well as machine-speed responses, allowing users to effectively address increasingly sophisticated threats and growing volumes of monitoring data.

As a CrowdStrike-certified MSSP^*3, CTC provides end-to-end support for license management and environment deployment of CrowdStrike solutions, including Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, and delivers seamless managed security services from implementation through ongoing operations.

Going forward, CTC will continue to leverage the security expertise we have cultivated over many years to provide highly reliable security services by flexibly addressing evolving cyber threats and increasingly diverse customer needs.
