Hammock Corporation and LRM Partnership

In a significant move for Japan's cybersecurity landscape, Hammock Corporation has chosen LRM (Limited Liability Company) as the first investment from its participation in the Japan Cybersecurity Fund (NCSF). This fund aims to address the growing need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in the workplace, specifically through the implementation of the domestic cloud service, 'Seculio', designed to improve employee security education.

The Importance of Security Education

Cyberattacks often exploit human error, a persistent issue highlighted by the Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) in its annual reports. This emphasizes the increasing demand for security literacy training among employees. With the cybersecurity education service market projected to exceed 10 billion yen by 2024, it is clear that the call for robust security training solutions is rising across organizations of all sizes.

The NCSF identified LRM as the perfect candidate based on its performance and the potential synergies with other participant companies. They recognized LRM's growth trajectory and the advantage of using locally developed tools tailored to Japanese business needs.

Addressing Security Training Challenges

Strengthening organizational security requires not only technological defenses such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) but also fostering a sense of security awareness among personnel. While implementing technical solutions can be costly and complicated, employee education initiatives are more accessible and easier to deploy. This has led to an increase in the uptake of cybersecurity awareness training across various sectors, regardless of company size.

Numerous services, including e-learning and simulation-based training, are now available in Japan. LRM's 'Seculio' stands out as a prominent example of a home-grown solution that meets local expectations and is receiving high praise for its effectiveness.

Introducing 'Seculio'

'Seculio' (https://www.lrm.jp/seculio/) is a cloud-based platform that streamlines the process of conducting, analyzing, and repeating security education without burdening the administrators. Its features include:

• - Targeted Email Attack Training: Simulated email attacks are used to train employees on recognizing phishing attempts. Over 20 types of training emails and automated result aggregation facilitate smooth training sessions.
• - E-learning Modules: The platform provides over 120 training materials to support employees in their security learning. Instant feedback and automated grading enable efficient learning assessment.
• - Security Awareness Tests: Regular tests consisting of 3-minute quizzes help maintain and improve security literacy over time, with questions drawn from a pool of over 150 items.
• - Internal Surveys: Organizations can gauge compliance with security protocols through employee surveys, enhancing their overall security posture.

LRM CEO's Insight

Tetsuya Yukimatsu, CEO of LRM, expressed pride in being selected as the first investment project of the NCSF. He stressed the growing importance of cybersecurity with the ongoing digital transformation, noting the sophistication of current cyber threats and the critical shortage of skilled professionals in the field.

Yukimatsu emphasized that the fund aims to drive the growth and development of Japan's cybersecurity sector, and LRM's contribution is aimed not only at enhancing its own growth but also at forging connections with other security enterprises supported by the fund. His vision includes fostering a stronger cybersecurity culture through 'Seculio' and expert consulting services.

Conclusion

With a track record of working with numerous companies, including large organizations and startups, LRM is poised to make a significant impact on the cybersecurity education landscape in Japan. The partnership with Hammock Corporation marks a promising step towards enhancing security preparedness across the Japanese workforce. LRM is committed to continued innovation in their offerings, striving to elevate the overall security standards in the nation's corporate environment.
