[WisShield Factory Security Service] Panasonic Launches New Cyber Security Consulting Support Service for Factories in Partnership with Trellix Professional Services

WisShield Factory Security Consulting Service with Trellix

In May 2026, Panasonic Digital Co., Ltd. (HQ: Osaka; President and Executive Officer: Yutaka Abe) launched the 'WisShield Factory Security Consulting Service with Trellix' for its factory cyber security monitoring service, 'WisShield,' in partnership with Trellix Professional Services.

By combining Panasonic’s practical knowledge and implementation expertise gained from deploying cyber security measures across over 200 Panasonic Group factories with the high-level security consulting capabilities of Trellix’s professional services—a global leader in intelligence-driven cyber resilience—the service provides end-to-end support. This covers everything from identifying risks to factory manufacturing systems and formulating security guidelines, to implementing measures and managing continuous operations, including management risk mitigation to ensure factories remain operational.

Background of the Partnership with Trellix Professional Services

In recent years, as factory manufacturing systems have become increasingly smarter, damages from cyber attacks have become prominent, leading to operational shutdowns. Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and subtle, and these threats are expected to increase in the future.

Under these circumstances, there is a growing demand to strengthen security environments to ensure continuous factory operation and manage business risks. The introduction of security services is not the end of the measures, but rather the beginning. It is necessary to select and introduce appropriate security services based on various factors, including current conditions and environment, and to take continuous measures even after implementation, such as by utilizing consulting services to counter increasingly sophisticated daily attacks.
