Powder Keg Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Masato Hamamura, hereinafter "the Company") has published a case study on the introduction of the AI security diagnostic device "MUSHIKAGO" at Aisin Fukui Co., Ltd. (Location: Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, President: Takaaki Tatematsu, hereinafter "Aisin Fukui").
Playing a core role in the development and manufacturing of transmission parts and electric drive unit parts within the Aisin Group, Aisin Fukui uses "MUSHIKAGO" to automatically visualize thousands of IPs worth of IT assets on their factory network every day. They grasp information such as OS types, versions, and service types, and conduct vulnerability assessments.
Recently, as the importance of cybersecurity measures in the automotive industry increases, an "agentless" operation that adds absolutely no changes to existing manufacturing equipment is driving continuous security measures without affecting factory operations.
▼ Highlights of the Case Study
This case study article introduces the factory-specific security challenges Aisin Fukui faced, the specific effects of introducing "MUSHIKAGO", and future prospects, along with comments from the personnel in charge.
Deciding factors: "No impact on the field" and "Immediacy":
The "agentless" scanning capability, which requires absolutely no changes to existing manufacturing equipment simply by connecting to the network, was highly evaluated.
Effect of introduction: Accurately grasping invisible IT assets "automatically every day":
Automatically discovering all of the factory-specific "invisible IT assets". Without increasing personnel, they achieve both IT asset management and vulnerability tracking of the vast factory at a low cost.
