Adecco Launches Cybersecurity Support for SMEs in Tokyo

In a significant step toward enhancing cybersecurity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Tokyo, Adecco, a leading provider of human resource services under the Adecco Group, has commenced operations of the "2024 Cybersecurity Basic Measures Project for SMEs". This initiative, commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, aims to fortify the essential security measures within SMEs across the region.

Responding to an Urgent Need

With the rise of telecommuting, digital transformation of businesses, and an increase in cyberattacks, small businesses are finding themselves in urgent need of solid cybersecurity measures. However, many are hampered by challenges such as budget constraints and a lack of manpower, which have delayed their response to potential threats. Recognizing this critical gap, Adecco's project is poised to deliver essential support and guidance to help these businesses implement necessary security strategies.

Comprehensive Support Initiatives

As part of the initiative, Adecco will provide comprehensive support that includes the introduction of security equipment and software essential to the first steps of bolstering cybersecurity. Furthermore, assistance will be rendered in establishing and revising information security policies and organizing asset management registers, ensuring that SMEs receive meticulous and tailored support for their specific needs. By doing so, Adecco aims to establish a foundational level of cybersecurity across small businesses in Tokyo, ultimately contributing to the stabilization of the city’s industrial base.

Proven Track Record

Adecco has a strong history of managing various SME support projects initiated by local governments. Its experience and expertise will play a crucial role in addressing the challenges of enhancing cybersecurity measures for small businesses. Moving forward, Adecco intends to leverage its know-how to help companies improve their operational efficiency and overall performance.
