リョーサン菱洋, a semiconductor trading company, announced on the 22nd that it will deploy a cybersecurity enhancement system in products made by Tokyo Electron, a major semiconductor equipment manufacturer. The system is designed to contain the impact of cyberattacks without reducing equipment processing speed.
リョーサン菱洋 said it will continue to provide regular system update services and the latest information on cyberattacks after deployment, and plans to work with the system's developer to provide support when problems occur.
If semiconductor manufacturing equipment is hit by a cyberattack, there is said to be a risk of confidential information leaks and production-line stoppages. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is expected to publish security guidelines for semiconductor device factories in 2025, making stronger security a key issue.
