Message from the Representative Director & CEO

Information Security Inc. was established in September 2014 with the mission of protecting Japan’s information infrastructure from cyber threats.

At the time of our founding, damage caused by cyberattacks was beginning to escalate, and adequate security services were particularly lacking in regional areas. Recognizing the limitation of being able to protect only a small number of customers, I felt a strong need to maintain and improve the overall level of cybersecurity across Japan. With that conviction, I founded the company in Kobe.

Since then, thanks to the efforts of government, industry, and academia, cybersecurity technologies have advanced significantly. However, cyberattacks continue to grow more sophisticated and complex each year, and the damage has not subsided. In recent years, attacks targeting critical infrastructure—such as medical institutions and power utilities—have increased, with some incidents directly affecting people’s lives and safety.

In response to these developments, we began providing full-scale services in 2016 to global manufacturing companies and social infrastructure operators. By incorporating the latest technologies and expertise from around the world, we deliver security audits, system design and implementation, and operational support.

Going forward, we will continue to focus on securing critical infrastructure while contributing to the enhancement of safety and security across society as a whole. We are committed to approaching every challenge with sincerity and to being a company that society truly needs.
