Cyleague Holdings and New Cybersecurity Partnership

In a significant move to bolster cybersecurity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan, Cyleague Holdings (Cyleague HD) has teamed up with S&J, a security monitoring and incident response service firm, along with SMBC Cyberfront, set to introduce a new incident response advisory service starting in August 2025. The collaboration aims to provide effective solutions to combat sophisticated cyber attacks, emphasizing a proactive approach to cyber resilience in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The Rise of Cyber Resilience

As cyber threats become increasingly complex, it is almost impossible to eliminate all risks. This challenge is particularly pressing for SMEs, often operating with limited resources. Therefore, enhancing cyber resilience—the ability to maintain operational continuity despite experiencing cyber incidents—has become a top priority for these organizations. Previously, SMBC Cyberfront offered an advisory service for daily consultations, but with the integration of the incident response support feature provided by Cyleague HD and S&J, businesses now have the infrastructure to address emergencies efficiently.

Rapid Response Capabilities

This innovative service allows users to initiate a response immediately in the event of a security incident, circumventing the delays typically caused by vendor selection processes and internal approvals. With this structure in place, organizations can ensure a swift initial response and quicker recovery of business operations, significantly mitigating the impact of cyberattacks.

Cyleague HD is dedicated to promoting effective cyber incident countermeasures across Japan's SME sector. By strengthening partnerships with SMBC Cyberfront and S&J, they aim to expand their collaborative model and enhance overall national cyber resilience. This collaborative effort is a crucial step in safeguarding Japan's businesses against rising cyber threats.

E-Guardian Group's Commitment

The E-Guardian Group, affiliated with Cyleague Holdings, is also committed to enhancing cybersecurity initiatives through strategic collaborations within the Change Group. Their mission, encapsulated in “We Guard All,” is to overcome societal cybersecurity challenges and ensure a secure digital environment.
