## Identity Management as a Defense Against Supply Chain Attacks
As supply chain attacks become more sophisticated, adversaries are increasingly targeting credentials of companies within the supply chain, such as vendors and business partners. Specifically, IDs and passwords are highly valuable targets, as a single compromise can grant access to extensive systems.
In response, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is preparing the "Security Measures Evaluation System for Strengthening Supply Chains" (SCS Assessment System), aiming for deployment in the second half of fiscal year 2026. A core requirement of this system is the thorough management of authentication credentials.
## Moving Beyond Manual Log Management
Traditional manual tracking methods are insufficient for auditing and managing complex password requirements. This webinar proposes standardizing operations through specialized tools to balance security and convenience.
## Webinar Objectives
Beyond simple tool deployment, the webinar will cover strategies for establishing long-term, optimized operational frameworks. It provides management and security leads with practical guidance on complying with the forthcoming SCS assessment standards.

FAQ
SCS評価制度とは何ですか？
経済産業省が策定した「サプライチェーン強化に向けたセキュリティ対策評価制度」のことで、サプライチェーン全体を通じた認証情報管理の強化や、標的型攻撃への防御力向上を目的としています。
ウェビナーではどのような対策が解説されますか？
「パスワード管理」と「特権アクセス管理（PAM）」を中心とした、サプライチェーン攻撃対策としての認証情報管理の強化策と、それらを実現するためのツールの導入・運用方法が解説されます。
属人化した運用管理の何が問題ですか？
スプレッドシート等による台帳管理や従業員任せの運用では、情報漏洩リスクが高い上、誰がいつどのIDを使用したかという監査ログの取得・追跡が困難で、セキュリティ統制が不十分になる点が課題です。
今回のウェビナーの主催・共催企業はどこですか？
主催および共催としてテクバン株式会社とKeeper Security, Inc.が名を連ねています。
SCS評価制度の運用開始はいつを目指していますか？
2026年度下期の運用開始を目指して準備が進められています。
