<Supporting Global Healthcare: Strengthening Security to Protect Information Assets>

TSK Laboratory operates under the philosophy of "contributing internationally by providing the highest quality medical devices," and is a medical device manufacturer that handles everything from planning and development to manufacturing and shipping. The company distributes products worldwide, including needles for aesthetic medicine.

The company manages a large volume of critical information assets, including technical data, customer information, and quality records. As such, it has been progressively strengthening its security measures from both data leakage prevention and cyberattack defense perspectives.

Starting in 2024, the company began information management using an information asset register. By classifying risks according to information sensitivity and evaluating them from the perspectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, TSK Laboratory is establishing an appropriate management framework. Additionally, by utilizing security tools such as EDR, the company has enhanced its defenses against threats like ransomware.

<Efficient Management of Approximately 100 Devices: Achieving Centralized Control with 'mobiconnect'>

At TSK Laboratory, mobile devices such as smartphones are primarily used by sales personnel.

Previously, device management was conducted using Excel-based spreadsheets. However, with the increasing number of devices and growing operational complexity, the company faced challenges such as difficulty identifying the most up-to-date information. Additionally, managing around 100 devices highlighted the need for a more sophisticated management system, including measures against loss and data leakage.

In this context, the company learned about 'mobiconnect' through a proposal from Inventit and decided to adopt it. One key factor in the decision was the cost-effectiveness of the solution. Additionally, the availability of extensive operational information on the web, making it easy to access necessary resources, was highly appreciated.

Currently, 'mobiconnect' is being used to perform bulk application distribution and remote locking. In the event of device loss, location tracking and remote operations are possible, helping to reduce the risk of data leakage.

Furthermore, the ability to control the use of unmanaged messaging tools and applications has helped mitigate the risk of employees unintentionally leaking information externally. The simultaneous enhancement of device management and security measures represents a significant achievement.

<Ensuring Business Continuity: Advancing Security and ICT Utilization>

Currently, TSK Laboratory is not only improving endpoint and device management but also working on network-wide visibility and advanced data management.

Going forward, the company plans to create an environment capable of monitoring network communications and tracking data flows across pathways, aiming to implement more advanced security measures.

Additionally, the company aims to improve overall security levels by including devices used in manufacturing sites, not just mobile devices. As stated by the company, it will continue to promote broader security enhancements and ICT utilization, with device management as a central pillar.

Inventit will continue to support its customers in building secure ICT environments and strengthening their security foundations through 'mobiconnect' and other security services.
