Concerned about security measures with conventional signature-type products Considering introduction of NGAV and EDR

Daicel was born in September 1919 through the merger of eight celluloid manufacturing companies. Since then, the company has valued the spirit of coexistence and co-prosperity with others, and has developed and provided a variety of materials that are beneficial to society for over 100 years, with the aim of enriching people's lives. Currently, our main businesses are materials business such as cigarette filters, safety business such as air bag inflators (mechanisms that inflate air bags), and engineering plastic business such as special purpose plastics. The company is developing materials business for electrical/electronic equipment. In addition, under our new long-term vision "DAICEL VISION 4.0" and medium-term strategy "Accelerate 2025," we are reaffirming our philosophy of "co-creation," which is our starting point, and are actively promoting initiatives toward the SDGs. .

Until now, the company has been using signature-based antivirus products for endpoint security measures. However, in recent years, the speed with which subspecies and unknown viruses have appeared has become overwhelmingly rapid, making him worried about the protection provided by conventional products. Regarding this point, Masakazu Daito, a senior staff member in the System Operations Group of the Digital Strategy Office, said, ``We were concerned that signature-type products have limitations in responding to attacks that exploit customized malware and legitimate processes/programs. "Every time I saw news stories about Japanese companies suffering from infection, I felt a heightened sense of crisis."

Additionally, the company left some of the countermeasures at its overseas bases up to each base, and the potential for inconsistency in the level of endpoint protection was a major issue.
"Cyberattacksoccur 24 hours a day and night. Considering this, in order to prevent the damage from spreading in the event an incident occurs, it is possible to investigate the target PC/server without user involvement, and to do the necessary work." We wanted to have a way to forcefully isolate people according to the situation.'' (Mr. Daito) Against this background, the company decided that it was necessary to introduce NGAV (next generation antivirus) and EDR.
