VLC Security Arena and Terilogy Partner to Develop Security Personnel for Industrial Control Systems

~Collaboration between practical training facility and latest technology to provide industrial control system security education~ VLC Security Group's VLC Security Arena Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Norihiko Ishihara, hereinafter "the Company") announced today that it has begun a collaboration with Terilogy Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Takeshi Koga, hereinafter "Terilogy") with the aim of raising the security level of Japan's industrial infrastructure and improving cyber resilience in the OT (Operational Technology) security domain.

Through this collaboration, Terilogy, a leading company in OT security in Japan, will implement its "Nozomi Networks" and "TXOne Networks" solutions, for which it serves as the primary domestic distributor, within the control system environment at VLC Security Arena's training arena, one of the most advanced in Japan. This will enable detection/defense training in environments extremely close to real-world conditions, further contributing to the improvement of cyber resilience for Japanese companies.

Through this collaboration, we aim to train 500 participants and achieve sales of 200 million yen over three years.

◾️Background of this Collaboration

As cyber threats surrounding industrial control system networks become more serious, it is essential not only to implement technical countermeasures but also to train specialized personnel who understand the characteristics of the field to protect the safety of critical infrastructure and manufacturing sites. Terilogy, which has led the spread of OT security in Japan for many years, and VLC Security Arena, which advocates for "improving on-site resilience" and provides practical training using control system environments, have agreed to provide integrated education leveraging their respective infrastructures and knowledge. By combining the OT domain expertise of both companies, we will further contribute to solving the challenges faced by Japanese industries.

◾️Key Points of this Collaboration

With this collaboration, Terilogy's "Nozomi Networks" and "TXOne Networks" solutions, for which Terilogy is the primary domestic distributor, will be integrated into the CYBERGYM brand training environment, which simulates actual control systems, provided by VLC Security Arena.

This will allow participants to gain practical understanding not only of theory but also of the specific roles played by security products designed for OT environments. By providing opportunities to interact with environments where actual solutions are in operation, we will foster personnel capable of effectively utilizing security products in response to security incidents.

◾️Value Brought by this Collaboration

Provision of Learning Opportunities Close to Real Environments By merging VLC Security Arena's physical control system environment with Terilogy's "Nozomi Networks" and "TXOne Networks" solutions, we offer a platform to consider the safety of control systems from a more realistic perspective.

Expansion of OT Security Countermeasure Options By understanding the specific functions of security solutions designed for OT, participants can broaden their options for countermeasures within their own company environments.

Contribution to Japan's Industrial Resilience By increasing opportunities to experience both specialized knowledge and the latest technology, we contribute to improving the resilience of Japan's entire industrial infrastructure against cyberattacks.

Attacks on OT environments are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the urgent need is to train "people" who can master these tools, not just introduce them.
