Hammock Inc. Unveils New Version of AssetView Cloud +

Hammock Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced the release of a new version of its integrated IT operations management series, AssetView, under the brand name AssetView Cloud +. This update brings significant enhancements designed to improve cloud operations' security and convenience. Key features of the new version include integration with Microsoft 365, SAML authentication compliance, and enhanced collaboration with HR systems.

Key Enhancement Points

1. Microsoft 365 Integration with Automatic Attachment Linking

In a bid to enhance secure file sharing while minimizing information leakage risks, the new version incorporates an automatic attachment linking feature that works with Microsoft 365. When users attempt to send an email with attachments using Microsoft Outlook, the files are first uploaded to Microsoft SharePoint automatically. Mail is not sent out right away; instead, once the upload is complete, a download link is inserted into the email body automatically. Users can then click the send button to dispatch the email with the download link securely. This two-step process significantly reduces the risk of mistakenly sending file attachments, making the sharing process clearer. Additionally, links can have their viewing period set, helping to prevent unnecessary sharing with third parties. In cases of accidental sending, system administrators can delete the download link or remove the uploaded folder on Microsoft SharePoint, further preventing data leakage.

2. SAML Authentication for Web Console

Following improvements made in May 2025 to restrict access to the Web Console, the new version now supports SAML authentication for logging into the Web Console. This enhancement allows for single sign-on (SSO) using the internal authentication infrastructure, improving the convenience for administrators while simultaneously bolstering the authentication level to enhance security. This feature is compatible with IdP that follows SAML 2.0. For further details, users should refer to the product page or manual.

3. Integration with Kaonavi for HR Information

In addition to previous support for Microsoft Entra ID and SmartHR, the latest version now includes integration with Kaonavi. This new feature supports the automatic reflection of HR information, helping to streamline IT operations amid organizational changes or employee information updates.

Additional Enhancements

The new version of AssetView Cloud + introduces several other improvements to foster secure and efficient IT operations:

• - Centralized Management of BitLocker Encryption Status: Users can visualize the encryption status of devices and recovery key information, aiding in device protection and measures against information leakage.
• - IP Address Information Added to Operation Logs: Action logs now include IP information, enhancing the precision of tracking unauthorized operations.
• - Enhancements in Email Sending Log Acquisition: The range of obtained email sending histories has been expanded, improving the capabilities for internal misconduct prevention.
• - Automatic Group Creation Based on HR Information: During HR-related integration, the system can automatically generate unregistered groups based on HR data, enhancing management efficiency.

AssetView Cloud + aims to continuously address corporate IT operational challenges while striving for improved security, convenience, and integration capabilities.
