Response to Cyber-Terrorism Risks

We are developing infrastructure to respond to cyber attacks and prevent virus infection. For employees, in order to improve their awareness of cyber terrorism, we alert them of targeted attack emails and conduct training against targeted email attacks by distributing dummy targeted attack emails. Furthermore, we diagnose our servers for vulnerabilities and take relevant measures continually, determining the risk value.

We have set up a COVID-19 Response Council to discuss prevention activities and measures for preventing the spread of infection within the entire Group, including our overseas business sites and to disseminate the activities and measures.
