OBIC Business Consultants Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Shigefumi Wada / Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo / hereafter OBC), which develops and sells core business systems such as Kanjo Bugyo and Bugyo Cloud, has announced the 'Safety Declaration from Ransomware'. In response to the rapidly increasing number of ransomware attacks in recent times, this declaration demonstrates how 'Bugyo Cloud' protects core business data and ensures the safe continuation of customers' businesses through its system structure and operational management framework.
## Background
Recently, while the widespread use of AI has brought dramatic transformations to corporate operations, cyberattacks—especially ransomware (ransom-demanding viruses)—have evolved significantly. It has become extremely difficult for companies to completely prevent damage solely within their own (on-premises) environments. Furthermore, targets of these attacks are concentrated on core business data that plays a central role in management, such as financial accounting, human resources and labor, and sales and purchasing. Once infected, it is not uncommon for the very survival of the business to be jeopardized.
Under these circumstances, OBC has received numerous inquiries from customers and partners regarding the ransomware resilience of 'Bugyo Cloud'. To ensure that they can continue to use the service with peace of mind, we have decided to announce the 'Safety Declaration from Ransomware', which demonstrates that a mechanism to prevent ransomware infection is realized through the system's structure and operational management framework.
## Mechanisms of 'Bugyo Cloud' That Prevent Ransomware Infection
OBC provides a mechanism that structurally prevents ransomware infection across all its services: 'Bugyo i Cloud', 'Bugyo V ERP Cloud', and 'Bugyo Cloud Edge'.
### 1. Adoption of a 'Separated Design Structure' that prevents ransomware intrusion through system architecture
'Bugyo Cloud' adopts an Azure PaaS-native 'Separated Design Structure' that differs from on-premises systems and other cloud services. By having Microsoft centrally manage the OS (Operating System) layer, which attackers often use as a foothold for intrusion, we have realized a design that structurally prevents ransomware from entering and administrative rights from being hijacked. This provides a service where the core business data itself will never be infected by ransomware.
### 2. Strict 24/7/365 operational monitoring system compliant with ISMAP
'Bugyo Cloud' implements a strict operational management framework based on 'ISMAP', the highest level of security standards in Japan, and constantly monitors the system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This allows for the identification and blocking of diverse cyberattacks.
### 3. Providing a consistently up-to-date and highest-quality environment through automatic updates
Ransomware attacks are evolving daily, and there is a possibility that various attack methods currently unidentified will be carried out in the future. 'Bugyo Cloud' will continue to invest in security technology and consistently provide an automatically updated, highest-quality security environment.
With these mechanisms to prevent ransomware infection, OBC will continue to take measures assuming all kinds of risks, on the premise that unexpected security attacks may occur in the future. Through 'Bugyo Cloud', we will continue to provide our utmost support to completely protect the important core business data of companies.
