Act Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tomohiko Kobayashi; hereinafter "Act"), which provides IT solutions including cybersecurity, is pleased to announce that it has been certified as a provider partner for HP's next-generation endpoint security solution "HP Sure Click Enterprise."

With this partnership, Act will form a specialist team centered on personnel holding relevant certifications and begin preparations for the full-scale provision of an innovative security solution focused on "application isolation" using virtualization technology within PCs.

Background and Purpose: Increasingly Sophisticated Cyberattacks and the Need for Layered Defense

Recently, cyberattacks have continued to become more sophisticated and cunning. In addition to conventional "preventing intrusion" measures, the importance of detection and response at endpoints (such as EDR), assuming intrusion can occur, has increased.

However, in general EDR operations, many companies face operational-phase resource shortages, such as the risk of occasional bypasses, post-detection isolation and recovery tasks, and securing personnel and labor for response.

To address these issues, Act believes that layered defense combining EDR-based "detection and response" with "preventive isolation and neutralization" that prevents actual damage to the real environment even if an intrusion occurs is essential, and has obtained partner certification for "HP Sure Click Enterprise."

By combining this with existing security measures such as its own EDR/SOC service "Sekurimo," Act aims to provide a new solution that achieves advanced protection and optimization of operational costs.

Three Core Values Delivered by "HP Sure Click Enterprise"

1. "Application Isolation" via Virtualization to Reduce OS Impact to "Zero"

Suspicious files, email attachments, and web browser sessions are executed inside independent micro-virtual machines (Micro-VMs) within the PC. Even if malicious behavior attempts to alter the registry or files, or create unauthorized files, those effects are contained within the virtual environment and have no impact on the real OS.

2. Dramatically Reduces EDR Operational Burden; Optimizes Overall Security Costs

Even if threats such as malware execute, simply closing the affected application or tab causes the threat to disappear along with the virtual environment. Because the impact on the real OS is essentially "zero," large-scale recovery tasks and response labor on the endpoint side can be minimized.

By integrating with security measures such as "Sekurimo," Act will dramatically reduce the field burden of incident response and realize a more efficient and robust security posture (layered defense). This is expected to reduce operational costs associated with securing specialist personnel and response labor.

3. Real-Time Delivery of "Detailed Threat Intelligence" to Support Management and Security Teams

Act collects and analyzes detailed behavioral logs and threat intelligence in real time to show how malware attempted to behave within the virtual environment. This provides rapid feedback to security teams and visually easy-to-understand risk status for management, strongly supporting rapid and accurate management decisions.

Outlook and Pre-Consultation Acceptance

Act has formed a team centered on qualified personnel and is advancing the construction of a delivery scheme and support system to enable smooth customer deployment and operations. We will announce the official service start date and plan details as soon as they are determined.

In addition, pre-consultations regarding this solution and inquiries about integration with your own security environment are being accepted starting today.
