What is the SCS Evaluation System?

It is a security evaluation system for strengthening supply chains, established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. It aims to enhance authentication information management across the entire supply chain and improve defenses against targeted attacks.

What measures will be explained in the webinar?

The webinar will focus on strengthening authentication information management as a supply chain attack countermeasure, primarily through 'password management' and 'privileged access management (PAM)', and will explain the introduction and operation methods of tools to achieve these measures.

What is the problem with personalized operational management?

Personalized operational management, such as using spreadsheets for ledger management or leaving operations to employees, poses high information leakage risks. It also makes it difficult to obtain and track audit logs of who used which ID when, leading to insufficient security controls.

Who are the organizers and co-organizers of this webinar?

The organizers and co-organizers are Tekban Co., Ltd. and Keeper Security, Inc.

When is the SCS Evaluation System expected to be operational?

Preparations are underway with the aim of starting operations in the second half of fiscal year 2026.

Tekvan and Keeper Security to host a webinar on preparing for the SCS assessment system scheduled for late 2026.

Identity Management as a Defense Against Supply Chain Attacks

As supply chain attacks become more sophisticated, adversaries are increasingly targeting credentials of companies within the supply chain, such as vendors and business partners. Specifically, IDs and passwords are highly valuable targets, as a single compromise can grant access to extensive systems.

In response, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is preparing the "Security Measures Evaluation System for Strengthening Supply Chains" (SCS Assessment System), aiming for deployment in the second half of fiscal year 2026. A core requirement of this system is the thorough management of authentication credentials.

Moving Beyond Manual Log Management

Traditional manual tracking methods are insufficient for auditing and managing complex password requirements. This webinar proposes standardizing operations through specialized tools to balance security and convenience.

Webinar Objectives

Beyond simple tool deployment, the webinar will cover strategies for establishing long-term, optimized operational frameworks. It provides management and security leads with practical guidance on complying with the forthcoming SCS assessment standards.
