Started handling Cybereason, a cyber attack countermeasure that also supports ransomware.

SoftBank Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) has announced that it will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) provided by Cybereason Japan, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Cybereason). We would like to inform you that we have started handling the endpoint cyber attack countermeasure platform "Cybereason". Cybereason is a next-generation antivirus product that uses advanced analysis using AI to detect malicious behavior of malware after an intrusion and takes immediate action to protect devices, unlike conventional antivirus products that aim to prevent intrusions. This is a security product.

According to IPA's ``Top 10 Information Security Threats 2017'', damage caused by ransomware is reported to be a major threat. In May 2017, the large-scale damage caused by "WannaCry" became a hot topic, but Cybereason was able to detect the behavior of WannaCry and prevent the damage. Even after WannaCry, ransomware variants such as "Cerber" and "Locky" have been detected and reported, and the threat of ransomware continues. You can further improve your security level by adding Cybereason to your existing countermeasures as a multi-layered defense and endpoint countermeasure against cyber-attacks that take advantage of unknown vulnerabilities that are evolving every day.
