Strengthening Security in APAC: The Launch of On-Site Assessments by Broadband Security

Broadband Security, officially known as 株式会社ブロードバンドセキュリティ, has recently embarked on an ambitious initiative to enhance security measures for Japanese companies operating overseas. Headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and led by President Takashi Takizawa, the company has introduced an integrated service focusing on 'Security On-Site Assessments' specifically targeting subsidiaries based in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). This initiative has already garnered attention from major manufacturing firms for its proactive approach to on-site security evaluations in foreign locales.

The Importance of Security Measures Abroad

The security of international branches has become a pressing management challenge for Japanese enterprises. With a significant increase in ransomware attacks targeting overseas operations, the need for comprehensive security strategies is more crucial than ever. Incidents of data theft via Wide Area Networks (WAN) and leaks to the dark web — a sector of the internet not indexed by traditional search engines — have become prevalent.

Organizations must be aware that the most vulnerable links in their supply chains are often their overseas operations. Such vulnerabilities can lead to severe repercussions, including disruptions at headquarters and halts in production at domestic facilities in Japan due to systemic failures caused by an overseas breach.

Value in Third-Party Evaluation and Certification Preparation

The recent service launched by Broadband Security corresponds with industry and international standards. It confirms the unique security guidelines of major manufacturing clients while deploying experienced domestic IT and security specialists to assess overseas branches.

Experts from Broadband Security will conduct assessments on-site, using a checklist to measure compliance on a scale of 1 to 5. This enables the company to provide a detailed improvement plan within a short timeframe. The solution is designed to mitigate management risks while strengthening governance frameworks. Additionally, experts include insights into local laws and business customs, further refining the assessment process.

Future Developments and Strategic Alignment

Broadband Security is committed to realizing its vision of creating a 'convenient and safe network society' through its corporate philosophy, known as 'Vision 2030.' A highlighted issue within this vision is addressing the attacks targeting supply chains. In response to this, the company has set a goal to enhance its consulting functions.

Currently, Broadband Security has rolled out its Security On-Site Assessment services in regions such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, with plans to expand throughout the APAC region.

Expanding Services for Global CSIRT Operations

As part of its future strategy, Broadband Security aims to enhance services supporting Global Cybersecurity Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) for Japanese enterprises and their affiliates. This includes creating a foundational structure for Security Operations Centers (SOC) and Global Managed Detection and Response (G-MDR) to ensure smooth operational security. Additionally, the company is looking to provide forensic analysis during incidents, creating a cohesive CSIRT support service that integrates domestic and overseas security operations.
