Quality Software Enhances ISM CloudOne with Advanced Operation Logging to Deter Internal Fraud

Quality Software Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shirahama, Wakayama; Representative Director & CEO: Seiji Ura), a provider of IT asset management and security solutions for PCs and smart devices, announced the release of the latest version (Ver.7.11i) of its cloud-based IT asset management tool, "ISM CloudOne".

In addition to countermeasures against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks (external defense), this new version significantly expands the scope of operation logs to proactively prevent information leaks caused by internal fraud (internal defense), a long-standing challenge. Furthermore, a new feature that identifies the location of personal information helps organizations strengthen their governance.

■ Background: The Persistent Threat of "Internal Fraud" and Diversifying Leakage Routes

The risk of information leakage is becoming increasingly severe. In the "10 Major Information Security Threats 2026" published by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA), "Information Leakage due to Internal Fraud" has ranked in the top 10 for 11 consecutive years since 2016, making it a top priority for companies.

Recently, in addition to advanced cyberattacks, the widespread use of web conferencing tools and the establishment of hybrid work have complicated the routes of information exfiltration. Therefore, a mechanism to accurately grasp (visualize) the movement of information from both "outside" and "inside" and prevent unauthorized acts is required more than ever.

■ Key Features Enhanced in Ver.7.11i

1. Expanded Scope of Operation Log Acquisition Covering Diverse Business Operations

The following operation logs, which are frequently used in modern business scenes and are likely to be blind spots for leaks, can now be acquired. This enables more precise evidence management.

- FTP Operation Log: Records file transfer status to external servers.
- Clipboard Log: Records copy operations of text and file paths to deter unintended data copying.
- Web Meeting Log: Records the start and end times of web meetings such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, visualizing business conditions in telework environments.

* The above operation log types apply only to customers who have purchased the Client Operation Log Option Plus.

2. Visualization and Risk Management of Important Information via "Personal Information Search Feature"

A feature has been added to automatically identify and visualize where and what kind of personal information exists within a PC.

- Automatic Determination & Sorting: Converts personal information such as names and phone numbers into points (1 item = 1 point), and automatically identifies files exceeding the set threshold as "Personal Information Files".
- Visualization of Leakage Risk: Monitors whether suspicious operations such as copying, moving, or renaming are performed on the identified important files. Administrators can grasp the retention status and risks of personal information within the PC at a glance.

■ Future Outlook

Quality Software will continue to pursue user convenience through "ISM CloudOne", aiming for further evolution of endpoint security, and supporting companies in strengthening IT governance and building secure business environments.
