Sysmex Enhances Cybersecurity Operations with KELA Group's Solutions

In an era where cyber threats pose significant risks to healthcare, Sysmex Corporation has made a strategic choice to collaborate with KELA, a frontrunner in cyber threat intelligence. By adopting KELA's advanced cybersecurity solutions, Sysmex is reinforcing its capability to manage cyber threats across its operations.

KELA is recognized for its comprehensive suite of cyber threat and exposure intelligence solutions. Among these, the KELA platform offers real-time visibility into potential vulnerabilities and critical threats. This recent partnership signifies Sysmex’s commitment to robust cybersecurity and reflects its proactive stance towards threat management.

Enhancing Cybersecurity Framework

Sysmex has implemented the full suite of KELA’s offerings, which include ULTRA RED for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) and SLING for Third-Party Cyber Risk Management. The integration of these tools allows Sysmex’s cybersecurity team to prioritize risks effectively, ensuring that the most urgent threats are addressed promptly.

Sysmex’s cyber threat response team leader, Seita Ijiri, expressed confidence in KELA's solutions, stating, “With KELA's tools, we can implement a more streamlined approach to monitor and mitigate risks, thus enhancing our overall cybersecurity operations.” This collaboration aims to build resilience against the increasing frequency of cyberattacks targeting the healthcare industry.

Key Features and Immediate Impact

The implementation of KELA's threat intelligence platform has brought about notable improvements in Sysmex’s cybersecurity processes. One of the standout features of KELA’s platform is its capability to deliver real-time insights into cyber risks, thus aiding Sysmex in making informed defense decisions. Here are some of the key improvements Sysmex has experienced since the implementation of KELA’s solutions:

1. Real-Time Threat Monitoring: Sysmex’s team can quickly identify and respond to imminent cyber dangers. KELA’s intuitive dashboard simplifies the threat monitoring process and reduces the time spent on data analysis.

2. Effective Incident Response: After implementing KELA's services, Sysmex detected an account information leak in Japan, allowing for swift corrective actions, including password resets and account disabling to prevent further damage.

3. Comprehensive Threat Analysis: KELA maintains a constant flow of intelligence, providing Sysmex with detailed reports on evolving attacker tactics, thereby helping the team refine their security stunt and operational defenses.

4. Greater Visibility: The ULTRA RED system sends alerts alongside urgency scores, thereby ensuring that critical issues can be prioritized promptly by the cybersecurity team.

Ijiro further emphasized that relying on KELA’s intelligence is vital to staying ahead of emerging attack techniques and trends. With KELA’s support, Sysmex aims to evolve its security measures continually, addressing vulnerabilities before they become significant issues.
