Arctic Wolf Enhances Endpoint Security for Japan's Toho Chemical Industry

TOKYO, Japan – June 30, 2026 – Arctic Wolf®, a global leader in security operations, today announced that Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Toho Chemical Industry), a Tokyo-based fine chemical manufacturer, has successfully strengthened its cybersecurity resilience. By leveraging Arctic Wolf's incident response services and "Aurora Managed Endpoint Defense," the company has enhanced its comprehensive security posture, reduced the operational burden on its internal team, and significantly improved its ability to detect and respond to threats across critical business systems.

Established in 1938, Toho Chemical Industry develops and manufactures a wide range of chemical products, including surfactants, resins, specialty chemicals, and functional materials, with over 860 employees on a standalone and consolidated basis. As part of its mid-term management plan, "TOHO Step Up Plan 2027," the company is focusing on expanding its global business, improving productivity, and building a robust IT infrastructure to support future growth.

Amidst escalating cyber threats, Toho Chemical Industry experienced a security incident that required immediate intervention by experts. The company collaborated with Arctic Wolf's global incident response team to quickly identify the root cause of the attack, determine the scope of impact, and restore secure operations while minimizing disruption to business.

"This experience necessitated the rebuilding of a robust operational framework," said Norihiro Nishihata, Manager of the Information Systems Department, Information Management Division at Toho Chemical Industry.

Arctic Wolf's swift response and clear guidance reinforced management's commitment to a long-term security operations strategy that prioritized managed detection, expert monitoring, and reduced operational burden.

Toho Chemical Industry adopted "Aurora Managed Endpoint Defense" as its managed EDR solution, integrating it with its existing EPP environment to improve visibility, streamline operations, and alleviate the strain on its small internal security team.

The company is now benefiting from:

24/7/365 expert monitoring and advanced EDR operations

Integrated management of EPP and EDR through the Aurora console

Significant reduction in operational load, with only a few alerts requiring action annually

Improved threat detection accuracy through continuous tuning by Arctic Wolf engineers

"Even with a limited team of three members in the Information Systems Department, we can maintain a high level of security without increasing our operational burden, allowing us to focus on our core business," stated Norihiro Nishihata, Manager of the Information Systems Department. "Thanks to managed EDR, we have gained peace of mind, reduced management costs, and eliminated unnecessary effort," echoed his colleagues, Mr. Daido and Mr. Taniguchi.

"Toho Chemical Industry's case is an excellent example of how Japanese companies can strengthen their security posture by adopting modern, expert-led security operations," commented Tsutomu Yoshimoto, President of Arctic Wolf Japan. "We are proud to have supported the company in enhancing its threat preparedness while reducing operational burdens. Arctic Wolf will continue to support our customers in improving their security resilience with world-class managed security services."

With the full deployment of Arctic Wolf's managed EDR services, Toho Chemical Industry is now operating under a proactive security framework that offers stability and scalability. Through ongoing collaboration with Arctic Wolf engineers, detection capabilities have been optimized, and operational noise has been minimized, greatly improving incident management efficiency. Furthermore, the company has now begun utilizing Incident360 Retainer Plus to further enhance its response capabilities.
