Macnica Solutions Delivers "Macnica U's Case Visualizer for Box" to Kanematsu, a Major General Trading Company ~Constructing a System to Visualize Employees' Box Usage and Manage Information Assets in Near Real-Time Conditions~

Macnica Solutions Corp. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Yoshihide Hatakeyama, hereinafter referred to as "Macnica Solutions") has announced that it has contacted Kanematsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Yoshiya Miyabe, hereinafter referred to as "Kanematsu") for the log monitoring service "Macnica U's Case Visualizer for Box (hereinafter referred to as MUCV for Box)". We are pleased to announce that we have provided the following:

■Background
Kanematsu, a general trading company with a history of over 130 years, is actively engaged in innovation investments that will lead to next-generation businesses that utilize digital technology. By introducing Box throughout the company in 2020, we have improved convenience and made it possible to continue business in a near-normal manner even under the movement restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, as the amount of data and the number of users increased, the task of analyzing and checking the handling status of information assets on a user-by-user basis increased. Therefore, Kanematsu decided to introduce MUCV for Box to solve this problem.

<Issues before implementation>
・It is difficult to know in a timely manner who is performing what operations on Box, and when.
・Monthly aggregation was done manually using Box's report function, but it was slow to notice when analyzing after work.

■Features of MUCV for Box
MUCV for Box is a Box log monitoring service provided by Macnica Solutions. Visualizes Box usage status with a focus on user activity and supports enhanced security. The features of MUCV for Box are as follows.
① Automatic daily confirmation of activities
MUCV for Box comes with a preset analysis screen, so you can easily obtain the information you are looking for by simply sending in the data output from Box, without the need for time-consuming settings.
② Automatic notification when threshold is exceeded
MUCV for Box has a mechanism that allows you to set a certain threshold for the number of files per operation, etc., and automatically sends an email notification when that threshold is exceeded, allowing for early detection.

■Effects after introduction
By introducing MUCV for Box, Kanematsu is now able to automatically check employee activity at Box in more detail and on a daily basis. Being able to automatically create reports on a daily basis has also led to labor savings in reporting work. In addition, automatic notifications enable early detection in the event of unusual operations, creating a system that allows information assets to be managed in near real-time.

< Before/After introduction>

■Future outlook
Kanematsu plans to expand the scope of MUCV for Box to group companies and improve the level of information asset management, such as by properly understanding access to important folders and files.

Macnica Solutions is committed to contributing to the appropriate management of information assets and efficient risk management through the provision of MUCV for Box, and to reducing damage caused by information leaks.
