Hammock and TCS Form Strategic Partnership to Boost Financial Security

In a significant move towards strengthening security measures in the financial industry, Hammock, a leading software manufacturer based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a collaboration with TCS (Tokyo Stock Exchange Computer Systems), headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. This partnership is aimed at enhancing security support for the financial sector through their integrated IT operational management solution, AssetView.

Addressing the Rising Cyber Threats in Finance

As cyberattacks continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, the importance of robust information security measures in the financial industry cannot be overstated. Hammock has previously supported businesses in managing their IT assets and safeguarding against data breaches through their AssetView platform.

The collaboration with TCS brings in their extensive experience in security operations within the securities and financial industries. By integrating TCS's expertise with the AssetView series, the services offered under TCS's brand, the Tokyo Stock Exchange Computer Systems Security Suite, will broaden its scope, thereby bolstering security support for the financial sector.

This service is part of TCS’s Security Suite, designed to flexibly and effectively meet the diverse needs of the financial industry. Hammock is committed to enhancing solutions tailored specifically to the unique demands of the financial sector, and they are currently exploring the integration of their cloud-based business card management and sales support tool, Hot Profile, in collaboration with TCS for future value-added offerings.

Understanding TCS’s Security Suite

The Tokyo Stock Exchange Computer Systems Security Suite analyzes security risks derived from various security tools' log data and provides original reports compliant with the Financial Services Agency's safety standards. These crucial reports are offered free of charge to companies that purchase the relevant security products. They can be invaluable for management discussions on the current security status and potential improvements. Furthermore, TCS provides regular external vulnerability assessments, annual in-house cybersecurity training materials and tests, and the latest security information, all at no additional cost.

With the new addition of the AssetView series to the suite, the breadth of services continues to grow and improve.

Insights from the Leadership

Chomiya Kotani, Executive Officer at TCS, emphasized the escalating significance of IT management in the wake of rising cyber threats. He stated, “With the provision of original reports from the TCS Security Suite based on various AssetView data, we aim to enhance the visibility of security risks for our clients, guiding them in their security measures. We're confident that this will elevate the value of AssetView to the next level and further contribute to customer security strategies across various industries.”

Hammock's CEO, Ohtaka Wakayama, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are delighted that through our collaboration with TCS, AssetView can play a crucial role in supporting security operations in the financial sector. Our mission is to provide effective solutions that protect our clients' information assets while enabling them to thrive in a safe IT environment.”
