Macnica strengthens support for corporate IT operations with "Josys," an integrated management service for IT devices and SaaS, and its unique security monitoring and operation service - Relieving excessive workload and personnel shortages, and supporting the transformation to "aggressive information systems departments" -

Macnica (headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; President: Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter Macnica), a total Services & Solutions provider in semiconductor, network, cyber security, and AI/IoT, has signed a distributor agreement with Josys, Inc. (headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo; President CEO: Yasusetsu Matsumoto, hereinafter Josys). Josys' IT device & SaaS integrated management cloud service "Josys" and Macnica 's unique security monitoring and operation services based on the company's accumulated expertise will be offered together to strengthen support for corporate IT operations.

In recent years, due to the spread of telework, it has become commonplace to take PCs out of the office, and the amount of work related to procurement, management, and security construction of IT devices is increasing. In addition, the introduction of SaaS is progressing to improve operational efficiency, and the workload of account management is increasing. In addition, the information system department has a high mobility of human resources, and it is currently not working on building IT strategies and security measures that should be focused on. Even if you try to solve the shortage of human resources by outsourcing, a huge cost will be generated. Under such circumstances, the overload of work in the information system department has become a problem for each company, and this tendency is particularly noticeable in companies where the person in charge of the information system department is alone or concurrently working with other departments. .

Therefore, "Josys", which we will start handling this time, is a cloud service that provides a dashboard that streamlines operations related to the operation and management of IT devices and SaaS. The following three features reduce the workload of information system departments. To do.

■ Characteristics of Josis
(1) Visualize IT device/SaaS usage status and reduce man-hours required for management
Collectively visualize the usage status and usage charges of IT devices and SaaS. Since it can be managed in conjunction with employee data, it is possible to take inventory of unnecessary accounts that are not in use and useless IT costs.
(2) Improve productivity by automating routine work associated with joining and leaving the company
We centrally manage the lifecycle of information assets, from the purchase of IT devices to their disposal, and from the issuance of new SaaS accounts to their deletion. Since the ledger on the cloud is automatically created and updated, you can break away from inefficient analog management.
③ Improve IT security by detecting shadow IT and accounts that have not been deleted
In addition to applications (shadow IT) that the information system department has not fully grasped because they were added at the user's own discretion, SaaS accounts of retired employees are automatically detected, and information leaks are prevented by preventing omissions of deletion. .

Macnica provides support for security operations, which can be a burdensome task in managing IT devices, through our unique security monitoring and operation services. Macnica group, including our affiliated company S&J Corporation, will provide comprehensive support for the monitoring and operation of EDR products, resolving the shortage of human resources in the information systems department.

■Characteristics of Macnica 's security monitoring and operation services
①24-hour, 365-day monitoring
Analysts with excellent security analysis monitor and operate the EDR products that customers have installed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and respond based on the severity of incidents. In addition to reducing the customer's operational burden, it also enables more specialized operational monitoring.
② Immediate response to highly urgent alerts
If we determine that an incident that has occurred is of high urgency, we will isolate the device from the network within one hour and conduct a primary investigation report on the detected details. Prompt action can prevent the threat from spreading to other devices.
