Hitachi Systems and Mitsui & Co. Secure Direction (MBSD) have started a cybersecurity partnership aimed at a reality most enterprises are already dealing with. Cyberattacks are becoming faster and more sophisticated with AI, while the pool of experienced security professionals continues to shrink.
The first result of the collaboration is the launch of the Fusion SOC Service in July 2026, a jointly operated Security Operations Center service designed to strengthen threat monitoring, analysis, and response capabilities.
The problem enterprises face is, kind of, different now. AI is letting bad actors scale up their phishing efforts, automate the whole attack workflow, and even make intrusion attempts quicker, like faster than before. Meanwhile, companies are also rolling out AI agents everywhere across their operations, which ends up creating new, kind of unexpected, attack surfaces. So security teams now have to defend all of that too.

The problem does not stop at the enterprise perimeter either. Supply chain attacks continue to grow as threat actors increasingly target business partners, vendors, and connected organizations as easier entry points into larger networks.
Hitachi Systems brings nationwide IT service delivery capabilities spanning consulting, implementation, operations, and maintenance, along with security services aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and experience in security automation. MBSD adds deep expertise in vulnerability research, threat intelligence, and advanced security analysis.
Together, these two companies are building some kind of joint security model, mixing operational scale and specialized threat knowledge, basically so organizations can strengthen business continuity, and also defend supply chains that are getting more and more connected in the AI era.
