NTT Security Launches Security Services for Industrial Control Systems
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Cyber-defense for critical infrastructure including factories, plants, utilities
& hospitals
TOKYO, Sept. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NTT Security Corporation (Head Office:
Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Sawada), the specialized security company of NTT
Group, has launched "IT/OT Integrated Security Services". The new services will
be taken to market globally through the NTT Group companies, Dimension Data, NTT
Communications and NTT DATA, forming part of its suite of integrated services to
enable successful digital transformation initiatives for its clients.
Companies are increasingly working towards IT/OT (Operational Technology)
alignment. OT systems, when connected to the internet, streamline business
operations by advanced supply chain management, realization of mass
customization and improvement of customer experience as well as find new
intelligence employing IoT (the Internet of Things) and Big Data analytics. As a
result, IT/OT convergence is exposing everything, including critical
infrastructure (such as electricity, gas, water) and industrial control systems
(such as factories, transportation, and logistics), to traditional and OT
threats. Meanwhile, cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents on these
infrastructures are also increasing, which spans ransomware infections like
WannaCry(1) to cyberweapon strikes like Stuxnet(2) and CrashOverride(3).
Jun Sawada, CEO at NTT Security says: "In the era of IoT, cybersecurity
incidents can cause huge impact and damage on enterprise business operations and
society. Therefore, in addition to conventional cybersecurity measures to
protect information assets, OT Security measures to protect critical assets and
ensure business continuity must also be considered as part of a continuous
approach to cybersecurity and risk management."
NTT Security provides "IT/OT Integrated Security Services" based on its strength
in Global Threat Intelligence and Cyber Threat Advanced Analytics accumulated
through global operations.
"IT/OT Integrated Security Services" are delivered via a combination of both
Consulting Services (CS) and Managed Security Services (MSS). Consulting
Services (CS) visualize components and potential risks of an industrial control
system, and provides effective and efficient security measures. Managed Security
Service (MSS) provides proactive defense for industrial control system by
continuously monitoring, detecting and blocking a cyberattack.

The WannaCry ransomware is a worm-like malware which spreads by exploiting the
leaked NSA exploit ETERNALBLUE. The malware encrypts files, drops and executes a
decryptor tool, displays a ransom notice for either $300 or $600 payable with
Bitcoin, and uses Tor for C2 channels. It became extremely prevalent in May
2017.
(2) Stuxnet
Malware which executes targeted attacks founded in Iran in 2010. It is known for
halting the control system of Iran nuclear facilities. It has been said that it
was developed by a sophisticated and complicated technology that infects via a
network or a USB memory and exploits multiple vulnerabilities of the OS.
(3) CrashOverride
Malware that executes targeted attacks used in the Ukraine transmission
facilities attack in 2016. Hundreds of thousands of households suffered power
outages.
