Panasonic and E-agent Partner for Enhanced Cybersecurity

In an era where cyber threats are escalating, protecting business infrastructure has become a paramount concern for companies worldwide. Recently, Panasonic Solution Technology Co., Ltd. has collaborated with E-agent Co., Ltd. to implement its System Vulnerability Diagnosis Service. This service is designed to fortify the security framework of E-agent as they prepare to launch a critical IT talent matching platform.

Background of the Service Implementation

Cyber-attacks targeting vulnerabilities in websites and software have become alarmingly frequent, as highlighted by ongoing alerts from the Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) in Japan. These threats have been evolving in complexity, leading to substantial security incidents. Consequently, an increasing number of companies are recognizing the urgent need to bolster their security measures.

Within this context, Panasonic’s System Vulnerability Diagnosis Service stands out. Registered in the service list developed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), this service benefits from Panasonic's extensive experience in cybersecurity, including a well-trained specialist team committed to providing reliable diagnostics. The service not only labels vulnerabilities by their severity and urgency but also offers recommendations for remediation and follow-up assessments, making it an invaluable asset for E-agent.

Insights from E-agent

During an interview with E-agent's representatives, they shared critical insights into their decision to adopt Panasonic's service, highlighting several challenges that existed prior to the service implementation. The need for stringent security measures stemmed from the founders' prior experience with serious cyber threats in the tech landscape.

Challenges Faced Before the Service Adoption

E-agent’s leadership understood the stakes involved when they decided to launch a new engineer platform—one that is essentially the backbone of their operations. They outlined the necessity to:

• - Ensure robust security protocols for the engineer platform, a necessity for the launch.
• - Identify and accurately remediate vulnerabilities inherent in the platform’s framework.
• - Elevate the security standards to a level deemed safe for all users.

What Motivated Their Choice?

E-agent’s confidence in Panasonic’s stringent security practices for their products and services played a key role in their decision. They recognized that engaging with a reputable entity like Panasonic could guarantee a heightened level of security for their platform, giving users reassurance.

Results from the Vulnerability Diagnosis

Initially, E-agent anticipated identifying some vulnerabilities through the diagnosis. However, they reported discovering several unanticipated issues that underscored the need for ongoing assessments and strategic approaches towards cybersecurity.
Panasonic provided critical technical advice throughout the process, allowing E-agent to address every vulnerability precisely. This proactive engagement affirmed the adoption of Panasonic's high-security standards within E-agent’s platform, ultimately fostering trust among customers and engineers using the platform.

Key Outcomes of the Service

• - The vulnerability diagnosis successfully pinpointed and rectified multiple latent security issues.
