NetOne Systems and SCSK test file sanitization for local governments

NetOne Systems Co., Ltd. has successfully conducted a joint verification with SCSK Corporation to evaluate “Local Breakout Tenant Access Control” and “File Sanitization” for local governments operating under the new α’ (Alpha Dash) model.

This verification demonstrated that the α’ model, designed to enable secure use of external cloud services from LGWAN-connected devices, can significantly enhance cybersecurity while reducing the operational burden on government employees.

The initiative follows the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ 2024 update to its “Guidelines for Information Security Policies in Local Governments,” which introduced the α’ model to promote digital transformation across public administration. While the model supports broader cloud utilization, it also introduces challenges in maintaining both robust security and user convenience, particularly when handling web conferencing and external file exchanges.

During the verification, SCSK was responsible for designing and implementing local breakout tenant access control, while NetOne Systems handled project planning, file sanitization design, including neutralization and sandbox processing, and on-site verification. The evaluation was conducted from July through September 2025 using LGWAN-connected terminals in a controlled environment.

The results confirmed that file downloads from cloud storage via proxy servers (A10 Thunder) could be sanitized automatically without staff intervention, validating the technical feasibility of achieving both strengthened security and improved operational efficiency. The verification also demonstrated that A10 Thunder can manage tenant-based connection restrictions and support essential security measures for the α’ model.

Building on these results, NetOne Systems and SCSK plan to explore new service offerings aligned with security policy guidelines, tailored to the operational requirements of local governments. The companies aim to advance digitalization and help establish a secure information infrastructure that supports local communities.

Through continued collaboration and innovation, both companies remain committed to contributing to a safe, sustainable, and advanced information society.
