BLACKPANDA JAPAN and SoftBank Join Forces to Enhance Cyber Incident Response

Strengthening Cyber Incident Response with Blackpanda and SoftBank

In a significant development for cybersecurity in Japan, BLACKPANDA JAPAN, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has officially announced its collaboration with SoftBank Corporation. This partnership seeks to enhance the capabilities of cyber incident response services, particularly through Blackpanda's immediate response service, IR-1. The primary objective is to fortify comprehensive security solutions for companies in Japan facing imminent cyber threats.

The Context of the Collaboration

Cyber incidents such as ransomware attacks pose risks that extend beyond individual companies, threatening entire supply chains, potentially disrupting operations and leading to managerial crises. Many businesses are yet to establish adequate response measures following an incident, leaving them vulnerable. Often, companies become unintentional launch pads for cyber attacks, inadvertently escalating the damage.

Given this alarming backdrop, it is crucial to shift perspectives on cyber threats; they aren't merely problems to be prevented but scenarios that require robust preparedness. Therefore, enhancing post-intrusion response capabilities has emerged as an essential managerial strategy.
