Cross Head Launches Comprehensive OT Security and Network Package for Manufacturing Industry

Introduction to Cross Head's New Package


Cross Head Inc., led by CEO Tetsuya Tokumasu and headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its new service, the "OT Security and Network Package." This offering is designed to enhance security and ensure stable operations within Operational Technology (OT) networks in manufacturing environments.

As industries increasingly digitize, integrating OT networks with other IT systems has become more common. While traditionally perceived as secure due to their isolated nature, OT networks now face heightened security risks, including cyberattacks that can lead to severe consequences such as data breaches or production halts. To address these challenges, Cross Head is set to provide a comprehensive suite of services tailored to client needs, ensuring both security and operational continuity.

Collaboration with Strategic Partners


In launching this service package, Cross Head has entered into a business collaboration agreement with several key players: Tsuzuki Electric Co., Global Security Expert Inc., and Net One Partners. This partnership brings together the expertise and resources of four companies with strong backgrounds in security and network solutions. The goal is to develop a well-rounded service offering that effectively meets the demands of the manufacturing sector.

Background of Manufacturing Security Challenges


In recent years, the push for digital transformation (DX) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a notable increase in connections between OT and IT networks. This integration, while beneficial, introduces new vulnerabilities that cybercriminals are eager to exploit. Manufacturers are now more at risk of attacks that could disrupt operations, leading to financial losses and damage to brand reputation. Recognizing the urgency of these threats, Cross Head has developed its OT Security and Network Package to provide essential digital security measures and ensure ongoing stability.

Service Features of the OT Security and Network Package


Cross Head's new service includes the following core components:
1. User Experience: Clients can gain insights into their OT network challenges through simple diagnostics and facility tours, helping them visualize potential implementations of the services.
2. Implementation Support: The package offers objective recommendations for organizational, operational, and physical improvements, alongside assistance in the formulation of operational rules.
3. Construction: Cross Head ensures the development of OT networks that boast high security, reliability, and scalability, also offering educational resources such as e-learning.
4. Operation and Maintenance: The package includes monitoring of security apparatus and network devices for early detection and response to risks. Additionally, log data analysis will be performed to preemptively guard against threats while ensuring compliance and maintenance practices are in place.
