Corporate News
Under the corporate philosophy of "Providing social efficiency, safety, and privacy through the unification of proper nouns," Landscape has built the largest corporate database in Japan, containing 8.2 million locations, as well as a consumer database of 95 million records. We have expanded our business by supporting data utilization and developing marketing support systems.
[The Problem of Information Leaks via Targeted Cyber Attacks]
While Landscape has primarily supported client companies in data utilization, we view the recent surge in information leaks caused by targeted cyber attacks—such as those affecting the Japan Pension Service—as a critical issue.
Targeted cyber attacks refer to a series of attacks conducted continuously and specifically against a target with the goal of obtaining sensitive information. In particular, targeted attacks via email using attachments are one of the most widely exploited methods. These attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and malicious, utilizing new types of malware to steal confidential and personal information. However, this malware cannot be immediately detected by conventional security measures, leaving no realistic alternative other than minimizing the damage.
Therefore, Landscape will leverage the management expertise cultivated through our data utilization support to build and provide a "Targeted Cyber Attack Countermeasure Service."
Specifically, we will provide a fundamental mechanism that displays a safety score—calculated using corporate attributes, domains, and IP addresses held by Landscape—for received emails with attachments, warning users to open files only after verification. This will enable highly robust information security that prevents information leaks before they occur.
Protecting data assets is a field where Landscape can contribute to society, and we will proceed with adjustments, including potential collaborations.
