Around 2015, efforts to strengthen security were implemented throughout the municipality, but issues with the security model have become apparent, and consideration of new initiatives has begun.
On this web page, when local governments consider "web access" security, we will introduce the issues that have emerged, the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' review, and Menlo Security solution configuration examples to solve the issues.
Status of security initiatives in local governments
Excerpt from "Review of local government information security measures" "Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications"
Since 2015, three levels of measures have been implemented as a municipal-wide initiative.
Many local governments have adopted technologies such as VDI and application virtualization (virtual browser), and have been able to significantly reduce the number of incidents by isolating the Internet even when accessing the web.
Emergence of issues in the current system
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications publishes materials related to "review points for local government information security measures."

Issues that surfaced
- Decrease in administrative efficiency due to separation and division of information networks within local governments
- Services of administrative applications, digitization of paper, work style reform
- Increase in cyber-attacks, increasing sophistication of cyber-crime methods
