Under the slogan “Protect .JP (Japan’s Cyberspace),” NEC will strengthen its cybersecurity business to contribute to ensuring the safety of Japan’s digital infrastructure.
As part of this, NEC will establish a new “Cyber Intelligence & Operation Center” that uses the high security standard “NIST SP800-53” (Note 1) that U.S. government agencies must comply with as a benchmark. The center will begin providing services to the Japanese government, critical infrastructure operators, and Japanese companies operating overseas from the second half of this year.
Specifically, in order to respond to the increasingly complex and sophisticated threat of cyber attacks and the different legal regulations in each country, the center will analyze geopolitical cyber threats and conduct appropriate monitoring and response based on global attack trends, including the supply chain. This will protect Japan’s digital infrastructure from various forms of cyber threats and contribute to the stable provision of business and services.

In recent years, with the international political situation becoming increasingly unstable, ensuring Japan’s economic security is becoming more important. In addition, the risk of cyber attacks targeting critical infrastructure is also increasing, with the damage caused by cyber attacks estimated at $8 trillion, equivalent to the third largest nominal GDP in the world, and the number of cyber attacks increasing nine-fold in the past nine years (Note 2), making it urgent to respond to the looming threat.
政府が保有するサイバーセキュリティなどの重要情報の管理を見据えたセキュリティー・クリアランス制度の導入や、サイバー対応能力の向上を重要政策として推進するなど、今後の日本政府の動向に注目が集まっています。
このような状況の変化に対応し、NECは、サイバーセキュリティ事業の強化を以下のように推進していきます。
独自のサイバー脅威インテリジェンスを提供
We collect huge amounts of data, such as cyber threat information and attack patterns, from global information sources and store and manage them centrally in a data lake. We use AI to analyze and visualize this data, and provide information on cyber attack threats, risks, and response methods as NEC’s unique cyber threat intelligence, taking into account geopolitical perspectives and the laws and regulations of each country. Utilizing this will enable more advanced strategy planning and rapid response to threats that cover the entire supply chain.
国産AI技術を活用し、安全性と機能性を両立
このサービスでは、以下のようなAI技術を活用する予定です。 NEC‘s generative AI “cotomi” (Note 3) to collect, analyze, visualize and respond to cyber threat information, supporting expert decision-making. Specifically, 90% of the work from analysis to response will be fully automated, and analysis results will be reported to customers in real time. For the remaining 10% of manual analysis, the AI will automatically collect relevant information and present it to analysts, supporting more efficient and accurate analysis.
また、信頼性の高い国産AI技術を活用し、安全性と機能性を兼ね備えたサービスを提供します。
グローバル推進体制の確立
After opening the Cyber Intelligence & Operation Center in Japan in October this year, the company will open centers in APAC, Europe, and the United States from fiscal year 2026 onwards, establishing a seamless promotion system globally by organically linking each base. Each base will support rapid responses to laws and regulations in each country and ensure a system that can provide comprehensive support from incident response to reporting to supervisory authorities, aiming to realize “Make Japan Cyber Secure,” a concept that protects the Japanese government and companies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
