[Practical Edition] Turning the 'SCS Evaluation System' into a Weapon for Business Continuity. AI Security Co., Ltd. and NTT Security Japan Co., Ltd. to Co-host a Webinar on Practical Measures to Prevent Formalism on June 17.

As cyberattacks targeting supply chains become a serious management issue for companies, the 'SCS Evaluation System' being developed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC) is expected to launch around the end of fiscal year 2026.

In response to this social climate, AI Security Co., Ltd., which has strengths in consulting, and NTT Security Japan Co., Ltd. will hold a joint webinar on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, titled 'Practices for Improving Security Levels Using the SCS Evaluation System: Moving Beyond Fulfilling Evaluation Items to Strengthening Measures for Business Continuity.'

This webinar is positioned as a practical edition based on the many requests from the previous seminar asking 'where to start specifically,' while also being systematically organized for first-time participants to easily understand.

In recent years, cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and cunning. Instead of directly targeting large corporations with robust security systems, methods that exploit related companies, subcontractors, and business partners with weaker defenses are rapidly increasing. Business stoppages or information leaks resulting from these attacks are not just problems for the individual company but pose serious risks that can ripple through partners and entire industries.

Against this backdrop, the policy for building the 'Security Measures Evaluation System for Supply Chain Strengthening (SCS Evaluation System)' led by METI was formally decided in March 2026, with the system expected to launch around the end of fiscal year 2026. In the future, visualizing the status of security measures based on this system could become a key criterion for gaining trust from business partners in inter-company transactions and new procurement.

A key point to note when responding to this system is that simply 'filling in the evaluation checklist' should not become the goal itself. This seminar will treat responding to the system as an opportunity, explaining the essence of visualizing one's own risks, setting priorities, and translating them into concrete measures. It will present a practical approach that goes beyond merely meeting evaluation criteria formally, aiming to substantially improve security levels and contribute to business and transaction continuity.
