AI Security Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takao Horii; hereinafter 'AI Security'), in collaboration with NTT Security Japan, will hold an online seminar titled 'Act Now for Business Continuity: Practical Responses to Master the SCS Evaluation System Faster Than Competitors ~A Step Ahead Start Dash Seminar~' on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
◤Background of the Event: 'Supply Chain Risk' as a Management Issue and the Wave of the New System
In recent years, cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and cunning. Instead of directly targeting large corporations with robust security, 'supply chain attacks' that use vulnerable affiliated companies and contractors as stepping stones have become a serious management issue. Business suspensions and information leaks cause immense damage that embroils not only the company itself but all of its business partners.
In response to this situation, under the leadership of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the 'Security Countermeasure Evaluation System for Supply Chain Reinforcement (SCS Evaluation System)' is being rapidly developed to visualize the status of countermeasures using common metrics regardless of the industry. The full-scale operation of evaluation levels ★3 and ★4 is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, and it is considered certain that objective security evaluations based on this system will become a 'de facto essential requirement' for continuing B2B transactions and securing new procurement in the future.
Ahead of the turning point of the system's full-scale launch, this seminar will explain the practical responses companies must undertake immediately. AI Security, which has deep expertise in cloud security and Zero Trust, and NTT Security Japan, which boasts an advanced consulting track record, will unravel the 'preparedness' required at the forefront of business transactions in a dialogue format.
