Responding to the evolution of cyber-attacks has become an urgent issue, and we have decided to introduce drastic security measures.

H.I.S. (HIS) operates a variety of businesses, including the travel business, hotel business, regional revitalization business, and insurance business. Currently, it has a network of 158 locations in 58 countries around the world, providing safe and comfortable travel for domestic and international customers. In December 2022, we established HIS Group's purpose of "unleashing the thrill of the heart" as our raison d'etre.In the future, we will work to deepen our travel and travel-related businesses, as well as expand our business by exploring non-travel businesses. Aiming to diversify.

Now, the company has been faced with the challenge of responding to cyber-attacks, which have become increasingly complex in recent years. In particular, many of the attack methods targeting major companies target overseas subsidiaries and other locations with weak security measures, and there were an increasing number of cases in which they used these as a foothold to infiltrate the company itself. Susumu Ishitani of the Security Team, IT Security Group, Information Systems Headquarters, Headquarters, recalls, ``We had heard that existing antivirus products were often evasive, so we didn't think they would be able to meet our expectations.''

In response to the evolution of these cyber attacks, the company took measures such as adopting EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) at its subsidiaries, but the effects were not sufficient.Naoki Ishizuka of the IT Security Group's Integrated Log Monitoring Team says, ``EDR was not able to completely prevent attacks, and our responses tended to be too late.'' Therefore, the companydecided to introduce drastic security measures. We started considering new products around May 2022.
