Hitachi Sunway Launches Security Operations Centre

Hitachi Sunway Launches Security Operations Centre

PETALING JAYA, 28 July, 2020 --- Hitachi Sunway Information Systems Sdn Bhd (“Hitachi Sunway”), a leading ASEAN ICT and Digital Solutions & Services Integrator, recently announced the official launch of its Security Operations Centre (“SOC”). The Security Operations Centre provides end-to-end cybersecurity-as-a-service offerings under the eXcelSECURE brand.

As we live in a data-driven and connected age where big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are increasingly leveraged across business functions and sectors, cybersecurity has become a major priority for organisations in preventing cybercrime. 

The vulnerability and the growing number of undetected cyber threats within an organisation continue to grow as criminals adapt to new security measures and take advantage of changes to our online behaviour.  In addition, the shortage of trained and experienced cybersecurity personnel in epidemic proportions, as well as attempted cyber-attacks are also on the rise significantly. 

Hitachi Sunway has established its SOC to help customers bridge the gap with eXcelSECURE cybersecurity-as-a-service offerings – by focusing on the balancing of People, Process and Technology to enable and to deliver the highest protection, with qualified personnel, Information Security Management System (ISMS) certified processes and proven technology platform to prevent, monitor, detect as well as respond to cyberattacks for our customers.

“In the digital realm, security must permeate everything we do.  Hitachi Sunway recognises the importance of an eco-system to rally together to fill in the cybersecurity talents gap and protect our customers from the constantly evolving cybersecurity attacks. We formed a strategic collaboration with Sunway University and Sunway Group IT, supported by PIKOM CyberSecurity Chapter and powered by the RSA Security NetWitness Platform – to help our customers mitigate any cyber threats” said Cheah Kok Hoong, Group CEO / Director of Hitachi Sunway Information Systems.

In addition to eXcelSECURE, customers are able to leverage our ISO27001 and ISO20000 certified cloud services (eXcelCLOUD) and IT Service Management services (eXcelITSM) offerings to deliver the highest protection against cyber threats with the lowest Total Cost of Ownerships (TCO).

The launch of SOC is another important milestone for Hitachi Sunway in its commitment to helping its customers in addressing the rapidly evolving threat landscape.
