Sumitomo Riko (Nagoya City), a major manufacturer of anti-vibration rubber for automobiles, has introduced the security evaluation platform ” Assured “. Assured announced this on March 17th. Sumitomo Riko is promoting manufacturing innovation using digital transformation, and its use of cloud services is increasing. Although the company has conducted security evaluations in the past, not only the man-hours required for the survey at the time of introduction, but also the inventory and regular evaluation of the services used required a huge amount of man-hours.
Therefore, the company decided to introduce Assured to achieve efficient and highly accurate security evaluation. Assured is a platform that visualizes the safety of cloud services such as SaaS/ASP. A security evaluation team with specialized knowledge investigates the security measures of cloud services based on major guidelines and frameworks , and collects the evaluation results in a database to achieve efficient and highly accurate security evaluation.
