Information Security Measures

At Sharp, we consider ensuring information security to be one of our most important management priorities. The risks surrounding information security are diversifying, including not only software vulnerabilities and unauthorized access but digital transformation-associated operational risks, human factor-related risks, and more. To address these challenges, we are working to promote risk-based security measures under a company-wide governance framework.

To address software vulnerabilities and unauthorized access, we regularly conduct vulnerability assessments and implement other security measures for our publicly accessible websites. Furthermore, we conduct information security risk assessments for these websites, identifying risks and implementing countermeasures based on the assessment results to ensure the effectiveness of our measures.

To address operational risks, we are continuously reviewing our information security-related rules and, as part of our efforts to strengthen cybersecurity, implementing measures based on the zero-trust concept and introducing and utilizing various security tools.

To address risks caused by human factors, we are continuing to conduct training for employees that simulates targeted email attacks, as we did last year. Based on the training results, we provide follow-up support to employees who require additional guidance, helping them better understand the risks of cyberattacks and prevent recurrence, thereby reducing overall risk.

Going forward, we will continue to review these initiatives, promote the establishment of risk reduction behaviors throughout the organization through company-wide training, and work to further strengthen information security measures, and maintain and enhance a safe and reliable corporate foundation.
