AI Security and NTT Security Japan Co-Host Practical Response Seminar for "SCS Evaluation System" - Explaining the Essentials of Supply Chain Defense and Business Continuity for Full-Scale Operation of Evaluation Phase

AI Security LLC (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Takao Horii, hereinafter "AI Security") will co-host an online seminar with NTT Security Japan Inc. on Thursday, April 9, 2026, titled 'To Continue Business Now: Practical Responses to Master the SCS Evaluation System Faster Than Competitors - A Head Start Seminar'.

◤Background of the Event: "Supply Chain Risk" as a Management Issue and the Wave of New Systems

In recent years, cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and cunning. Instead of directly targeting large corporations with robust security, they leverage related companies or outsourced partners with weaker defenses, making "supply chain attacks" a serious management challenge. Business interruptions and information leaks cause immense damage not only to the company itself but also to the entire network of business partners.

In response to this situation, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is leading the rapid development of the "Security Measures Evaluation System for Strengthening Supply Chains (SCS Evaluation System)," which visualizes the status of security measures using common indicators regardless of industry. The full-scale operation of evaluation stages ★3 and ★4 is scheduled for the second half of 2026, and it is certain that objective security evaluations based on this system will become a "de facto essential requirement" for continuing existing business transactions and for new procurement.

This seminar will explain the practical steps companies should take immediately before the full launch of the system. AI Security, with deep knowledge in cloud security and zero trust, and NTT Security Japan, with extensive consulting achievements, will discuss the "preparations" required at the forefront of business practices in a dialogue format.
