The Introduction of Structural Security Architecture by iSeikatsu Combines Zero Trust and Cloud Native Principles

iSeikatsu Unveils Innovative Security Framework

In today's rapidly evolving cyber landscape, threats are becoming more sophisticated, impacting various industries with devastating effects. Compounding this issue, a staggering 84% of ransomware breaches stem from vulnerabilities in VPN equipment, compromised authentication credentials, or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) pathways. The outdated notion that simply having VPNs ensures safety is proving to be excessively naive, as many organizations find their defenses inadequate against modern attacks.

Recent attacks have caused significant disruptions, notably halting shipments at leading beverage companies and inflicting substantial losses—approximately 1.7 billion yen—on logistics firms due to ransomware incidents. Moreover, the rise of supply chain attacks exploits vulnerabilities within outsourced providers (such as SaaS vendors), leading to intensified breaches affecting customer data.

The real estate sector, which handles sensitive personal information regarding property owners, landowners, and tenants, has increasingly become a target of cybercriminals. To proactively protect valuable customer information and asset data, iSeikatsu has integrated advanced 'Structural Security Architecture' that merges Zero Trust and Cloud Native methodologies.

iSeikatsu’s Security Strategies

To maintain the integrity of its clients’ data, iSeikatsu employs three key pillars:

1. Structural Segregation: The company segregates its internal office environment from the data vault managing customer information, likening it to separate islands divided by vast oceans. This strategic separation ensures that a virus infecting internal systems cannot reach SaaS environments, effectively preventing secondary infections.

2. Zero Trust Architecture: Adopting a Zero Trust model, where no entity is inherently trusted, iSeikatsu enforces stringent access controls akin to airport security checks. Each access attempt is verified, utilizing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure rigorous identity verification continually.

3. Cloud Native Infrastructure: Unlike conventional remote access protocols, iSeikatsu exclusively employs browser-based and API communication methods. This approach restricts data transmission to predefined channels, eliminating the common vector for malware infections found in traditional drive-sharing operations.

Adding another layer of security, iSeikatsu has achieved several international certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, ISO/IEC 27017 for cloud security management, and ISO/IEC 20000 for IT service management. These certifications affirm the company's commitment to stringent operational integrity.

iSeikatsu is not just a software vendor; it considers itself a strategic partner prioritizing business continuity. The company remains dedicated to providing an uninterrupted real estate operational foundation, ensuring that it aligns with the changing technological and regulatory landscape.
