Through this collaboration, SEC Consult will consider the provision of security monitoring services in its Austria, Germany, and Switzerland hubs using security professionals from NEC and Infosec.
NEC and Infosec currently provide security services that monitor customers' networks and websites on a 24/7 basis. By capitalizing on the time differences between three bases in Japan, Europe and the Americas, the companies provide 24-hour monitoring, with each base conducting operations just during regular business hours. This promotes the enhancement of security monitoring systems, helps meet the needs of an increasing number of customers, and maintains high quality services.
SEC Consult provides an important range of services, including security consulting, incident response, such as investigating the causes of accidents and implementing preventative measures, and the investigation of vulnerability. Moreover, it has an accomplished history and know-how in the provision of services to government agencies and private companies in Europe.
NEC, Infosec and SEC Consult aim to build systems that enable the provision of advanced security products and monitoring services by utilizing the strengths of each company, including cyber-attack information and technical know-how, to contribute to the enhancement of cybersecurity.
"NEC's expertise in cybersecurity will be a vital part of our Resilient Framework," said Clemens Foisner, Managing Director, SEC Consult. "We are delighted to work with NEC and Infosec to provide leading-edge solutions for our customers," said Jurgen H. Kraupa, Managing Director, SEC Consult.
"NEC is devoting resources to the development of Solutions for Society, with a particular focus on strengthening the security field, including cyber security, as a core element of its global growth strategy. NEC is pleased to have the strong support of SEC Consult's incident response specialists to cover emergencies in the European region," said Hiroyuki Nagano, General Manager, National Security Solutions Division, NEC Corporation. "Going forward, NEC will continue contributing to the realization of a safe, secure and affluent society by providing services and products that help strengthen security."
