Risk of system outages and information leaks caused by cyberattacks

「A whitelist-based protection system (OS-protection type) has been introduced on all PCs and major servers to prevent the execution of any programs other than those authorized to run. This has established a framework to prevent infections in advance from unknown malware and zero-day attacks, which are difficult for conventional software to detect.」

「In addition, we conduct regular awareness activities to address spam, including periodic testing using simulated targeted emails.」

「Our Group avoids the risk of attacks on its monitoring systems because they are not directly connected to the internet. For administrative systems, firewalls are installed at the internet gateway, and external access is essentially blocked in its entirety. Antivirus software has also been installed on servers and PCs, which are monitored in real time. In addition, the company is moving its servers to the cloud with robust security measures.」

「Our Group conducts its business using various systems, including monitoring systems. Cyberattacks on these systems could result in business interruptions due to system outages and the leakage of various types of information.」
