「The monitoring center continuously monitors whether communication with security sites is possible and has a mechanism for detecting abnormalities if communication becomes unavailable for any reason. Meanwhile, redundancy is secured for the monitoring center and its equipment by duplicating communications lines. In addition, the center equipment is installed in the cloud or in robust data centers to mitigate risks.」
Specific measures addressing remote monitoring disruptions were described, including continuous monitoring of communication availability, duplicated communications lines, and the use of the cloud and robust data centers. - FY2020MitigatedAnnual report
「The Group has formulated a BCP covering measures for major earthquakes, floods and other disasters, and is taking measures by conducting regular disaster-preparedness drills based on the BCP and maintaining disaster-preparedness supplies.」
