Fujifilm Group Deploys Verizon Business Group’s Advanced Security Operations Center
August 16 2022 - 7:00PM
Verizon Business is supporting Japan’s FUJIFILM Holdings and its
subsidiaries to strengthen its global cybersecurity monitoring and
cyber intelligence capabilities. As part of Fujifilm’s ongoing IT
infrastructure transformation, the company’s technology teams will
now have access to Verizon’s Advanced Security Operations Center
(SOC) capabilities in Canberra, Australia.
Fujifilm’s network and security experts across the Asia-Pacific,
Europe and the US regions will be able to leverage daily threat
intelligence feeds from Verizon’s Threat Research Advisory Center
(VTRAC) as well as the availability of local-language security
engineers and analysts that will monitor the company’s global
remote environments on a 24/7/365 basis. Fujifilm’s SOC deployment
will reach a critical milestone in establishing a cloud-centric
infrastructure architecture adopting a zero-trust security
framework.
According to the 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report,
risks of external threats continue to grow. Of particular concern
is the rise in ransomware breaches, fueled by organized crime,
which increased by 13 percent in a single year—representing a jump
greater than the past five years combined.
Founded in 1934, Fujifilm was best known for producing some of
the industry’s most revered photographic film and equipment. Today,
with more than 75,000 employees around the world, the company has
successfully reinvented itself to become a company which continues
to grow in healthcare, materials, business innovation and imaging.
Fujifilm adopted its “DX (Digital Transformation) Vision” in 2021
with the aim of further promoting DX to provide products and
services of even greater quality than ever before, thereby
dramatically enhancing value the company provides to customers as
it continues to work toward solving social issues.
Sampath Sowmyanarayan, Chief Executive Officer for Verizon
Business Group, said, “Fujifilm is one of the most admired
companies in the world that has shown what can be achieved through
digital disruption. One of the byproducts for businesses who
accelerate toward an increasingly digitized world is that they
generate huge amounts of network data. As a result, there is a
greater need to secure this data using advanced threat hunting
tools to mitigate any potential malicious activities.”
Verizon processes over 27 trillion security events every year
through its nine Security Operations Centers around the globe, six
forensics labs and one of the largest IP networks in the world.
