Assured Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Atsushi Omori) is pleased to announce that its vulnerability management cloud 'yamory' (https://yamory.io/ hereinafter 'yamory') has been adopted by Konehito Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shinichiro Sugii). An interview article regarding the implementation has been published today.
Konehito Inc. develops services that support families through life events and operates one of Japan's largest communities for mothers. In recent years, the company has also been accelerating its public sector business targeting local and national government agencies. Why did the company choose 'yamory' to address challenges such as high security standards required for public procurement, specifically the management of Open Source Software (OSS) vulnerabilities, licenses, and End of Life (EOL) status? We spoke with Mr. Shota Okutsu of the Development Department about the background of the implementation and the transition to a system where engineers proactively control risks and maintain productivity.
Summary of Implementation Case
[Challenges]
- Need to build a strict OSS vulnerability management system defined in specifications for public bidding.
- Extensive management was required, covering not only vulnerability information but also OSS license compliance and EOL status.
- Key was how the entire team could efficiently and continuously grasp and address risks within practical development work.
[Decisive Factors for Adoption]
- Ability to centrally visualize vulnerabilities as well as license and EOL information, comprehensively meeting procurement requirements.
- Comprehensiveness in automatically scanning and managing assets across a wide range of layers, from infrastructure to the application layer.
- Operability that allows engineers in the field to use it intuitively and operate it without stopping the development flow.
[Effects After Implementation]
- Established a foundation to reliably meet public sector procurement requirements and proceed with projects without delay.
- Complex license management and EOL tracking were automated, significantly reducing man-hours required for manual work.
- Realized a system that improves development productivity while ensuring safety by enabling evidence-based prioritization.
