ANTERAS ASM Assist

Promote risk management and prevent critical risks from being left unaddressed.

For critical/high-risk issues detected by ANTERAS ASM, Macnica handles notification to the asset management department, progress management, and escalation to the security responsibility department.

We support the resolution of risks that are difficult for the security department to handle alone, and prevent critical risks from being left unaddressed.

The remaining challenge in ASM operations is that "progress in addressing the issue is not being made."

The adoption of ASM (Asset Management System) is progressing, and it has become possible to visualize externally exposed assets and identify significant risks. However, even if significant risks are discovered, operational challenges remain in completing the remediation process. Externally exposed assets are often managed by business units, group companies, and overseas branches, making it difficult for the security responsibility department alone to continuously monitor them.

  • Problem 1: Communication is not circulating.
    Due to staff shortages, heavy workloads, and a large number of locations, it's difficult to maintain a system for providing appropriate notifications, status checks, and reminders to each of the multiple asset management departments.
  • Problem ②: The importance is not conveyed.
    The importance of the risks is not properly communicated to the asset management department, leading to delays in addressing them. As a result, progress in resolving the issues is slow.
  • Problem 3: Inability to grasp the situation
    We are unable to track the status of the response, send reminders, and confirm completion, leaving a risk of intrusion at each location.

While ASM (Area-Based Risk Management) is advancing in risk visualization and prioritization, it is becoming increasingly important to implement strategies that ensure identified risks are effectively addressed.

Service overview

ANTERAS ASM Assist

This service involves Macnica directly notifying the asset management department of critical/high-risk issues detected by ANTERAS ASM, and supporting the customer from the initial implementation to the completion of any necessary countermeasures.

Macnica will take over some of the tasks previously handled by the security department, such as contacting relevant departments and checking the situation. This allows the security department to focus on understanding the overall risk situation of the organization, and ensures that the asset management department is clearly informed of the risks that need to be addressed, thus preventing critical risks from being left unaddressed.

Scope of support provided by Macnica
  1. Direct notification to the asset management department
  2. Reminder to the asset management department
  3. Report to the Head Office Security Department
  4. Progress management and closing process for handling issues.

Service contents

From notifications and reminders to reporting to headquarters and closing the issue, we support the entire process of ensuring that the issue is resolved successfully.

Direct notification to the asset management department
Upon detecting a risk, the asset management department is directly notified of the detected risk and recommended actions. This ensures that critical risks reach the departments that will actually handle them. Inquiries are also handled as needed.
Target of notification: Critical High
Reminder to the asset management department
If no action is taken after notification, the asset management department will be continuously notified again. This will prevent delays and encourage completion of the issue.
Report to the Head Office Security Department
The status of the response is compiled and reported monthly to the head office's security responsibility department. This allows the security responsibility department to understand the overall situation of the organization while reducing the burden of individual communication.
Frequency: Monthly (Summary of response status)
Progress management and closing process for handling issues.
Once we receive notification from the asset management department that action has been taken, we will change the status of the relevant alert in the ASM portal to closed. You can check the progress of the action at any time on the ANTERAS ASM portal.
