(*1) GMO GlobalSign K.K. is a consolidated corporate group of GMO GlobalSign Holdings K.K. ## [Deepening Cyber Threats to Medical Institutions] In February 2026, a ransomware attack occurred via a VPN for maintaining medical equipment at a domestic university hospital, resulting in the leakage of patient information for approximately 130,000 people. This incident, which also escalated into system failures and demands for massive ransoms, highlighted that establishing a robust authentication infrastructure for medical information systems, including strengthening the management of IDs and authentication information, and building a continuous monitoring system have become urgent issues amid the increasingly severe cyberattacks targeting medical institutions in recent years. In addition, the "Guidelines for Safe Management of Medical Information Systems Version 6.0" require the introduction of two-factor authentication and the establishment of mechanisms to continuously check the safety of accounts. However, introducing and operating these measures individually poses challenges in terms of operational load and cost. This plan is designed so that the strengthened authentication and account monitoring required by these medical institutions can be introduced with a simple configuration. By doing so, it supports the strengthening of cybersecurity measures in medical institutions without compromising the convenience of daily operations. ## [About "GMO Trust Login Medical Institution Authentication Strengthening Plan"] This plan consists of the "SSO Pro Plan" and the "Password Leak Detection Option". The "SSO Pro Plan" provides advanced authentication functions necessary for medical institutions, such as desktop SSO using Windows integrated authentication, multi-factor authentication like one-time passwords and IP restrictions, and biometric-compatible passwordless authentication (Push/FIDO). The "Password Leak Detection Option" automatically detects leaks of passwords used, in addition to the above. With these two functions, medical staff can securely access multiple systems with a single ID and password entry, balancing convenience and security. <> GMO Trust Login Medical Institution Authentication Strengthening Plan ●Monthly Fee: 500 yen/month per ID (550 yen including tax) ●Start of Provision: Monday, March 30, 2026 ●Target: Medical institutions (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, etc.) "GMO Trust Login" Price Plans: https://tr...
