Strengthening cybersecurity business under the slogan "Protect .JP"

NEC Corporation (NEC), a leading information and communications technology company, has focused its business efforts in recent years on solving social issues. These efforts include AI, quantum computing, and advanced network infrastructure. These efforts support a safe and secure social infrastructure while comprehensively supporting the digital transformation of businesses and local governments, making them a pillar of Japanese society itself. At the heart of these efforts is BluStellar, a new digital transformation brand offering comprehensive services from consulting to implementation and operation. This brand systemizes industry expertise and cutting-edge technologies, creating new value through co-creation with customers. While leveraging the strengths of its domestic bases to provide high-quality products and services, NEC is also expanding its international presence by expanding partnerships and joint research overseas. NEC today is a company that continues to grow sustainably as a social value creator, always anticipating changes.

The company has positioned ensuring information security as a key management priority for itself and for Japanese companies, and is strengthening its cybersecurity business under the slogan "Protecting .JP (Japan's Cyberspace)." Based on the CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) Zero Trust Maturity Model, the entire group is implementing robust and flexible measures. The company is also based on the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Cybersecurity Management Guidelines Ver. 3.0" and the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) "Cyber Security Framework (Version 2.0)," enhancing proactive defense and resilience against increasingly serious cyberattacks. The company emphasizes the concept of data-driven cybersecurity. Using operational and monitoring data as a starting point, the company connects often-disjointed implementation and operation processes, visualizes the current status and countermeasures on a dashboard, and achieves overall security optimization. These efforts have been highly praised in Japan, winning the Grand Prize and the Excellence Award in the Human Resources Development category at the Japan Security Awards 2024, organized by the Japan Digital Transformation Promotion Association, as well as the highest two-star ranking at the Cyber Index Corporate Survey 2024, organized by the Japan Information Technology Federation.
