Cybersecurity technology and vulnerability management tools highlighted in Japan

A cybersecurity event in Nagoya is showcasing advanced technologies to combat increasing cyberattacks, seeing nearly double the number of participants compared to previous years. Exhibitors are presenting solutions such as sensors to prevent unauthorized Wi-Fi access and domestic software designed to visualize website vulnerabilities.

Key technologies include automated password generation and management tools to prevent credential theft, as well as services that monitor the dark web for leaked authentication information. Industry experts emphasize the importance of both corporate and individual awareness regarding password security and vulnerability management.

In a related development, NTT Docomo Business has announced the free provision of ‘WideAngle ASM,’ a solution that identifies a company’s public IT assets from an attacker’s perspective. The service automatically detects IP addresses, domains, and VPN equipment to continuously visualize vulnerabilities and configuration errors, helping organizations manage their attack surface.
