Powder Keg Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masato Hamamura; hereinafter "the Company") has released a case study of the implementation of its AI security diagnosis device "MUSHIKAGO" at Aisin Fukui Co., Ltd. (Location: Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture; President: Takao Tatematsu; hereinafter "Aisin Fukui").
Aisin Fukui, a core developer and manufacturer of transmission and electric drive unit components within the Aisin Group, uses "MUSHIKAGO" to automatically visualize thousands of IT assets on its factory network daily. The system identifies OS types, versions, and service types while conducting vulnerability assessments.
As cybersecurity becomes increasingly critical in the automotive industry, Aisin Fukui has promoted continuous security measures without affecting factory operations. This is achieved through "agentless" operation, which requires no modifications to existing manufacturing equipment.
### Highlights of the Case Study
The case study article introduces Aisin Fukui's specific security challenges, the concrete effects of implementing "MUSHIKAGO," and future prospects, featuring comments from the person in charge.
- **Key factor for selection: "No impact on-site" and "Immediacy":** The agentless scanning capability, which works simply by connecting to the network without modifying existing equipment, was highly evaluated.
- **Effect of implementation: Accurate daily automated tracking of invisible assets:** The system automatically discovers all "invisible IT assets" unique to factories. It balances extensive asset management and vulnerability tracking at a low cost without increasing staff.
### About MUSHIKAGO
MUSHIKAGO is an automated AI security diagnosis device that provides end-to-end services from automated visualization of IT assets (including factory OT environments) to vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. It is suitable for companies considering compliance with JAMA/JAPIA factory sector guidelines.
**Main Features:**
- Automatic terminal detection and visualization via network connection (agentless)
- Diagnosis of OS/software vulnerabilities and configuration errors
- Automated penetration testing to verify intrusion possibilities from an attacker's perspective
- Support for control systems/OT and ICS environments
- Operational design that can be introduced without modifying existing environments
