Collaboration with SoftBank Technology to provide security for McAfee cloud environment

McAfee Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Osamu Yamano, hereinafter referred to as "McAfee") and SoftBank Technology Corp. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) operate a cloud environment. We would like to inform you that we will be collaborating to provide security solutions.
This collaboration will combine the knowledge gained from McAfee's extensive experience implementing and operating McAfee's McAfee MVISION Cloud (formerly Skyhigh Security Cloud, hereafter MVISION Cloud) and SBT 's extensive experience implementing and operating Microsoft Office 365 (hereinafter Office 365). Within this fiscal year, SBT will begin offering MSS for CASB, which provides recommended security policies for Office 365 and provides a robust monitoring and operation system through collaboration with Managed Security Services (MSS).

■ Background

In recent years, as part of work style reform, efforts such as improving productivity through work efficiency and telework, as well as improving overall business through the use of data, are moving corporate systems to the cloud. The collaboration platform has been introduced, and the system is being accessed not only from within the company but also from outside the company.
However, although cloud services are highly convenient and easy to start using, they also come with a higher risk of information leaks than on-premises systems, and because employees use cloud services individually, they can be poorly managed. An issue has emerged. In response to this, the importance of CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), which can manage cloud services used by companies and set appropriate security policies for each service, is increasing.

■ About MSS for CASB

SBT promotes the use of the cloud to support digital transformation of companies, and has a track record of implementing many unique cloud solutions including Office 365 and other security measures. By adding MVISION Cloud to the know-how gained from these implementations and our track record of providing security services such as MSS, we will be able to provide high value-added services to use Office 365 more securely. Masu.

① We provide SBT 's own recommended security policy template for Office 365, and we also customize the policy to suit your internal environment.
② We analyze the risks of high-risk cloud services detected through shadow IT and provide consulting services such as proposing continuous mitigation policies tailored to the customer's business.
③ In addition to security alerts detected by MVISION Cloud, we use other MSS services to comprehensively analyze threats.
