We support the realization of utilization and the protection of businesses from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
IT Supports Modern Society, Security Increasingly Important
From terminals such as personal computers and smartphones, network devices such as routers that transfer data, telecommunications networks such as Wi-Fi, servers and cloud storage that store data. IT infrastructure has become one of the essential lifelines of modern society.
In recent years, the use and application of cloud business has progressed, and it is required in all industries to build a secure and solid network.
While government agencies and various industries are increasingly computerized and networked, the damage caused by cyberattacks to leak or falsify information assets is increasing. Companies are required to implement cyber security measures to protect important information assets from crimes and troubles while ensuring the stable use of necessary services.

Specific Efforts
Number of chargebacks decreased to less than 10%
Achieve both growth of e-commerce sites and security that prevents cart abandonment
During the Corona disaster, while sales of EC sites surged due to an increase in stay-at-home demand in the world, there were also many damages caused by fraudulent use of credit cards. At Yoshinoya (hereinafter referred to as "Yoshinoya"), the use of official mail order shops was increasing, so we implemented measures against fraudulent orders.
"Sift," jointly provided to Yoshinoya by Macnica and GMO Payment Gateway, Inc., is an online fraud detection service that uses machine learning to detect and prevent suspicious credit card transactions.
Unlike security measures that require more input items when placing an order or displaying a screen from a different site during the payment process, “Sift” uses machine learning to detect suspicious user behavior. . We prioritized the desire to maintain the ease of purchasing without registering as a member, and implemented fraud prevention measures that do not impede the customer experience.
Sift's machine learning leverages intelligence from a collection of over 34,000 websites and mobile apps. "Sift" can respond to changes in the user's hand using machine learning rather than a predefined rule base, and it also contributes to reducing the operational burden from a long-term perspective.
Specific Efforts
For faculty and student terminals where security measures were difficult
Realize a safe ITC environment with threat hunting service
At Keio Gijuku University, we believed that as a countermeasure against recent sophisticated cyberattacks, we needed measures that could quickly identify threats and minimize damage in the event of an emergency.
However, in universities where autonomy and independence are prioritized, it is practically impossible to centrally manage the implementation status of security measures for faculty and student terminals, including BYOD. In addition, security knowledge was concentrated in the CSIRT and some ITC staff, and there was also the issue of personalization in that the number of people with investigative skills was limited.
To address these issues, Macnica proposed a threat hunting and incident response service under its original brand, "Mpression Cyber Security ServiceTM (hereinafter referred to as MpressionCSS)." Utilizing TeamT5 's threat hunting tool "Threat Sonar", users can conduct investigations when needed and support threat analysis and response through Macnica unique intelligence. Since threat hunting can be carried out remotely, it is also possible to carry out investigations at satellite campuses where there are no personnel with investigation skills, thus overcoming the issue of individualization. In addition, devices that detect suspicious communications can be investigated by simply running an exe file if necessary, reducing the burden on teachers and students to the bare minimum while creating a safe and secure ITC environment.
