■ Background of Implementation and Expected Effects
Ikeden is a specialized trading company that handles confectionery and bakery materials as well as packaging materials. They provide a wide range of products, from basic raw materials like chocolate, dairy products, sugars, nuts, and fruit ingredients, to packaging materials such as packages, films, and boxes, playing a core role in the supply chain of the sweets and bakery market. Building on many years of trust and a proven track record, they have established a system to accurately meet the needs of each market through a community-based sales network. They also actively engage in support activities for the development of the industry, such as serving as an official sponsor for the global patisserie competition 'Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie.'
In response to the recent rapid increase in 'supply chain attacks' by ransomware, Ikeden has been working on measures against various security risks. In addition to defending against external attacks like ransomware, they established a policy to strengthen measures against internal information leaks, and were considering an IT asset management tool capable of recording and managing the operation logs of business terminals. After comparing and evaluating multiple cloud products, they decided to implement 'AssetView Cloud +' because it allows for stricter management of operations on files containing personal and confidential information, and was highly evaluated for its ability to enable rapid response in the event of an incident, preparing them for unforeseen circumstances.
AssetView Cloud + is a cloud service that centrally manages and operates IT assets (hardware, software, licenses, etc.) owned by companies and organizations, centered on 'humans.' When an operation is performed on a file containing personal or confidential information, administrators receive alert notifications and can check operation logs on the management screen. In addition, users are shown warning messages when using or operating PCs, which is expected to deter unauthorized operations. Furthermore, since it can manage devices connected to the corporate network, it can also detect unauthorized connections by unmanaged terminals. This allows for early detection and response to the risks of information leaks and unauthorized operations, leading to stronger information leak countermeasures.
