ADiXi and Cybersecurity Research Institute Form Strategic Partnership

ADiXi Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a strategic partnership with Cybersecurity Research Institute, located in Fukuoka. This collaboration aims to tackle the growing challenges in the cybersecurity sector by combining the cutting-edge technology resources of ADiXi with the specialized expertise of the Cybersecurity Research Institute.

Background of the Collaboration

In recent years, cyber attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, making it essential for companies to enhance their security measures. However, many organizations face significant challenges in securing both a high-level design expert and personnel responsible for implementation and operation. While several companies specialize in cybersecurity design, there are few that excel in practical implementation. The partnership between ADiXi and Cybersecurity Research Institute addresses this industry issue by offering a comprehensive solution.

ADiXi is rapidly growing as a technology professional group dedicated to supporting sustainable growth through the use of the latest technologies, including AI, cloud solutions, and security. As the company enters into the security domain, it faces demands that require specialized knowledge and practical experience, which this partnership seeks to fulfill.

On the other hand, Cybersecurity Research Institute excels in providing comprehensive support such as SOC automation design and security consulting to businesses, while facing limitations in handling large-scale projects due to its finite human resources. By merging their strengths, the two companies aim to create a perfect balance between security expertise and practical implementation capabilities, thereby delivering advanced and real-world security solutions to a wider range of companies.

Details of the Partnership

The partnership focuses on several strategic initiatives:

Establishing a Joint Response Framework

The Cybersecurity Research Institute will lead the upstream tasks of requirement definition, security architecture design, and technical supervision for high-security projects. ADiXi will manage the operational aspects and ongoing maintenance through its project management (PM/PMO) capabilities. This collaboration enables the following initiatives:

• - Constructing and automating Security Operations Centers (SOCs)
• - Establishing security monitoring mechanisms utilizing EDR and SIEM technologies
• - Implementing incident response systems and providing forensic investigation support

Formation of Large-Scale Security Teams

Although Cybersecurity Research Institute has skilled personnel, its organizational constraints limited its ability to undertake large projects. Through cooperation with ADiXi, the two organizations can assemble flexible teams based on project requirements, enabling them to participate in larger projects that were previously unattainable.

By establishing an implementation framework supervised by security experts, they will offer services that marry advanced security designs with on-the-ground operational implementations and automation to a greater number of enterprises.

Development of a Security Talent Nurturing Lab

ADiXi has already been recognized for its lab-based training programs in AI and cloud sectors, which have provided practical skill acquisition opportunities. This partnership will leverage Cybersecurity Research Institute's expertise to establish a lab focused on training security talent.
The planned training programs for ADiXi's technologists include:

• - EDR incident analysis training
• - Digital forensics training

Comments from Company Leaders

Daiaki Kanazawa, CEO of ADiXi:
"We are thrilled to enter into a strategic partnership with Cybersecurity Research Institute, a company specializing in the cybersecurity field. Under our mission of 'co-creating technology and humanity to unleash potential,' this partnership allows us to provide more advanced and challenging solutions in the growth sector of security, ultimately contributing to elevating the security standards of Japanese businesses."

Kei Yamaguchi, CEO of Cybersecurity Research Institute:
"As cyber attacks continue to evolve, security measures within companies must be prioritized. While we possess advanced expertise, resource constraints limited our capacity to handle numerous projects. Through this partnership with the growth company ADiXi, we can now disseminate our specialized knowledge to a broader audience, while collaborating on training programs to uplift the overall security level in the industry."

Future Developments

Both companies aim to advance the following initiatives through this partnership:

• - Jointly bidding for and executing large-scale security projects
• - Implementing practical security training for ADiXi's technologists
• - Activating the security lab and launching training programs
• - Co-developing security automation solutions and managed security services
• - Promoting best practices in security through joint seminars and white papers
• - Establishing an inter-companion introduction system between their respective client bases

Moving forward, their aim is to elevate security standards in enterprises by focusing on 'Security x Automation x Talent Development,' thereby enhancing both security quality and the career value of their technologists.
