INTERNET INITIATIVE JAPAN’S CLOUD SERVICE TO AUTOMATE SECURITY OPS AT OVERSEAS LOCATIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc (IIJ), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, has launched IIJ Safous SOARaaS, a monthly cloud service that streamlines and automates security operations at overseas locations.

This service provides integrated security monitoring and operational management of the customer's environment by a dedicated team of analysts through the linkage of the customer's cloud, endpoint, firewall and related security infrastructure with the service platform (SOAR platform).

Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) refers to technologies and solutions that streamline and automate operations related to security operations.

In the event of a security incident, IIJ Group security analysts will examine security alerts as necessary and notify customers of the analysis results, the scope of impact and other information, according to a statement.

The service will provide Japanese companies with many offices in Asia and companies operating worldwide with global security control and reduce the operational burden of security.

Depending on the severity of the incident, analysts will quickly coordinate information with the customer via e-mail or telephone. Outsourcing customers' primary response to security incidents can greatly reduce their operational costs.

IIJ has also established a security centre in Indonesia, where the IIJ Group security analysts provide 24/7 customer support in English and Japanese.

In cooperation with its local subsidiaries in Asia, IIJ plans to provide support in Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai and other languages by the financial year 2023.

Additionally, managed integrated operational services including installation and replacement of security products, operation of service infrastructure, fine-tuning and version upgrades will enable customers to fully control the security of their overseas branches via IIJ's new service.
