TOKYO,
JAPAN, 7th February 2013 – NTT Com Group, incorporating NTT Communications (NTT Com), Integralis AG and Secode AB and in cooperation with NTT Secure Platform Laboratories,
today announces that it is launching a security-information event-management
(SIEM) technology to provide enhanced detection and analysis of security risks,
including targeted attacks for organizations worldwide.

The
spread of smartphones and tablets, plus the advances in cloud technologies have
enabled seamless IT environments to be created worldwide. At the same time,
however, increased security risks, such as unauthorized access, viruses and
information leaks, have become acute problems requiring urgent solutions for
diverse Information and Communications Technology (ICT) environments.

The
new SIEM technology detects risks through advanced automatic correlation
analysis and evaluates risk levels automatically. It incorporates NTT Secure
Platform Laboratories’ advanced technologies designed to detect attacks through
long-term log monitoring, and a blacklist generation engine that efficiently
finds malicious sites; as well as a comprehensive security information
database.

Akira Arima, CEO at NTT Communications, said: ”Our investment in SIEM
across worldwide NTT Com data centers is the first step in our global Managed
Security Services vision. By driving new services in the data center, NTT Com,
with our security arms Integralis and Secode will ultimately be able to filter
these into the enterprise customer environment; supporting them with common
process and intelligence which allows a "secure path to the cloud”.

”The
SIEM technology will serve as a universal security service platform enabling
the NTT Com Group to offer more thorough services for region-specific risks. We
will also advise customers on risk prediction and available countermeasures
based on risk information shared among Group members,” he continued.

Simon
Church, CEO, Integralis AG, commented: ”With the ongoing focus on security from
NTT Com, we are continuing to make significant investment in our services,
technology and skilled teams globally that provide customers with the risk
management and IT security services they need in order to develop and transform
their businesses.”

Church
continued, ”The introduction of the SIEM technology as part of a Managed
Security Service, changes the way we deliver security analysis and risk
information to our customers. Remote device management is essential in modern
organizations. However, taking the information from these devices, and
providing contextual analysis to the business so that they can make informed
decisions around their risk and security profile is crucial, especially as the
threat landscape is continually evolving.”

The
NTT Com Group manages risk across its customers’ Information and Communications
Technology environments based on its trusted consulting methodology, including
upgrading and continuous monitoring. This methodology consists of analysis of
governance, risk and compliance (GRC) in a corporate environment; evaluation
based on 12 benchmarks, including asset management and compliance; comparison
with average levels in the industry concerned to determine gaps; and goal
setting; improvement planning; plan implementation; and continuous monitoring
through secure operations.

By
incorporating the SIEM engine with its existing offerings, such as security
risk consulting, security management systems, Managed Security Services and
Mobile Device Management Services, NTT Com Group will use the platform to
launch enhanced, total risk management services, including both comprehensive
consultation and operation, for evaluation, improvement and monitoring of any
type of security risk in customers’ ICT environments.

The
NTT Com Group will continue to improve its total risk management services by
expanding its lineup of security equipment and services for the new security
service platform, including the upgrading of incident detection through
correlation analysis and automatic risk-level evaluation, and the updating of
databases.

The
technology will be launched as a new security service platform in Japan and the
U.S. in March and later in other markets worldwide. NTT Com Group’s Security
Operation Centers, which are located in Japan, the U.S., Singapore, United
Kingdom, Sweden and Norway, as well as a new location to be opened in Malaysia,
will be reorganized as Global Risk Operation Centers to offer thorough security
monitoring managed by highly skilled risk
analysts.
