Macnica and Dragos to Deliver OT Cybersecurity to Critical Infrastructure and Manufacturing Control Systems in Japan
Summary: Dragos and Macnica Corporation signed an agency agreement, announced July 19, 2023, to make Dragos's OT cybersecurity solutions available in Japan, with Macnica handling product selection, introduction, and post-introduction operational support. The companies cite rising threat groups targeting OT and increased ransomware attacks, and note the Japanese government plans to introduce an examination system covering critical infrastructure in 14 industries, including electricity and gas, under the Act on Promotion of Economic Security enacted May 11, 2022.
What you should know: Japan's government review will put critical infrastructure operators in 14 industries, electricity and gas among them, under scrutiny for whether their protections are sufficient, and Macnica is positioning itself as the local partner for that work.
