CIONET Round Table: Securing Your Digital Crown Jewels

The modern cyber threat landscape has evolved from simple data breaches to sophisticated, systemic attacks designed to cripple an entire organisation. Ransomware, in particular, has made traditional backup and recovery strategies insufficient, as attackers often compromise backups before launching their main assault. In this new reality, the question is no longer "if" an attack will happen, but "when” and how quickly you can recover. Furthermore, regulations like DORA and NIS2 are making robust recovery a legal imperative, compelling businesses to adopt solutions that can guarantee data integrity and business continuity even after a catastrophic cyber event, making a Cybervault a critical component of regulatory compliance.

The New CISO - CIONET Belgium: Community Event

The Role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) The role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is no longer confined to securing the network perimeter. As organisations become more digitally connected and data-driven, the CISO’s responsibilities have expanded far beyond traditional security measures. Today’s CISO must not only defend against cyber threats but also enable the business to innovate securely, manage complex regulatory environments, and instill a culture of trust across the organisation. This event will explore the evolving role of the CISO as a strategic leader who balances security with business enablement. As digital transformation accelerates, how can CISOs align their security strategies with organisational goals, ensure compliance, and lead their teams in the fight against increasingly sophisticated threats? Key Discussion Points: From Gatekeeper to Strategic Partner: How CISOs can shift from being seen as barriers to innovation to becoming key enablers of business agility and transformation through security. Balancing Risk and Innovation: Learn how top CISOs navigate the delicate balance between mitigating risk and supporting the organisation’s need to innovate and scale in a secure environment. Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC): Explore how CISOs are managing an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance while still driving business objectives forward. Building a Security-First Culture: Practical strategies for CISOs to foster a culture where security is embedded into every part of the business, from boardroom discussions to frontline operations. CISO as Crisis Manager: How to prepare for and lead your organisation through major cybersecurity incidents. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, we’ll discuss how today’s CISO is as much a crisis manager as they are a strategist. Why You Should Attend: As a CISO, your role is evolving faster than ever before. This event is designed to provide you with actionable insights into how to embrace your expanded responsibilities while keeping your organisation safe and secure. Whether you’re focused on aligning security with business goals, navigating regulatory challenges, or leading in times of crisis, this event will equip you with the strategies to lead the next era of cybersecurity.

Business Process Driven Architecture ; Designing systems that follow how your organisation actually works

Too often, architecture is drawn top-down, neat boxes, elegant flows, and little connection to the way teams really work. But what if we flipped it? What if our systems evolved from the actual processes, pains, and needs that drive the business? If you’re tired of systems that look good on slides but frustrate in practice, this session will ground the conversation where value is created, at the process level.

Data Spaces and Digital Trust ; What it takes to collaborate safely across ecosystems

You can’t build a smart service without smart data. And you can’t access smart data without trust. Across Europe, industries are trying to make this work, through data spaces, standardisation, and new governance frameworks. But progress is slow. If you’re part of a sector with potential for shared intelligence, but stuck in silos, this session will challenge assumptions and explore practical pathways.

NTT DOCOMO secures internal systems and customer services with Trend Micro Deep Security

Secures internal systems and customer services with Trend Micro Deep Security

OVERVIEW

NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest telecommunications company, provides innovative, convenient, and secure mobile services to consumers and businesses. The company serves more than 71 million customers in Japan over advanced wireless networks, including a nationwide LTE network and one of the world's most progressive LTE-Advanced networks. In 2012, NTT DOCOMO began leveraging Amazon Web ServicesSM (AWS) cloud solutions for cellphone and smartphone service in an effort to make IT more responsive to business and customer needs.

In the cloud, we want to use the most popular security standard. It was completely natural for us to use Deep Security for security on AWS. I am convinced that it is the best choice for AWS users.

Yuki Moritani

Innovation Management Department,
NTT DOCOMO, INC

CHALLENGES

NTT DOCOMO’s Cloud Solution Team in its Innovation Management Department has helped the business units to develop many services for cellphones and smartphones running on AWS, and now uses AWS to support its data analysis systems. “Our role is to expand cloud usage internally in ways that produce real company benefits. We also sell docomo cloud package, which is based on our own best practices,” said Yuki Moritani, Team Manager.

However, when NTT DOCOMO needed to ensure security for the cloud-based services it provided to customers, it required additional security for AWS cloud workloads. The company’s strict security regulations mandated that 280 security requirements be met before any cloud-based service could be launched. “To fulfill these requirements, it quickly became evident that we needed something on top of the AWS security functions that would further protect our cloud services,” said Hiroki Moriya, Cloud Solution Team member.

Deep Security is highly compatible with cloud platforms such as AWS, and without a doubt the optimum product for cloud security.

WHY TREND

After a thorough search for an AWS security solution, NTT DOCOMO selected Trend Micro™ Deep Security™. The choice was simple: “Deep Security was the gold standard for server security on AWS. No other product provided such thorough protection. Deep Security remains the go-to cloud security solution,” said Moritani.

The multi functionality of Deep Security was highly appealing to the Cloud Solution Team. “To protect services on AWS from cyber attacks, you need multi-layer protection. Deep Security includes firewall protection, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion protection systems (IPS),” said Moriya.

NTT DOCOMO found the centralized management of Deep Security also compelling. “We appreciate the comprehensive change monitoring and log monitoring functionality Deep Security provides,” said Moriya.

SOLUTION

Many business units at NTT DOCOMO have acquired an AWS account and are independently developing and running services for customers. Moritani and his team support security for all these units from Trend Micro Deep Security agents installed on hundreds of cloud servers throughout the company. “Deep Security is simple to install and is easy to administer, so it doesn’t adversely affect the speed of service launch or expansion,” said Moriya.

Deep Security also allows them to centralize security in a multi-tenant environment. “Business units can develop and run their own services, while our team takes care of standard security for everyone and provides specialized security measures to groups as needed,” said Moritani.

RESULTS

For NTT DOCOMO, Deep Security has proven its worth. “We were recently on the receiving end of a cyberattack seeking to exploit the terrorist attacks in Europe, but Deep Security detected and protected us. Its defensive capability is invaluable,” said Moriya.

Moritani believes a particularly significant benefit is the ability to employ security measures specifically designed for the cloud. “We use the cloud to increase business speed and flexibility, and it is important that the security features we implement do not adversely affect those advantages,” said Moritani.

Finally, NTT DOCOMO notes that the widespread use of Deep Security among cloud users increases its value. “Deep Security is the de-facto standard in the cloud security market. There are many engineers and IT vendors with solution expertise who are willing to share their insight. This is a major benefit for us,” said Moritani

WHAT'S NEXT

The Cloud Solution Team plans to expand the use of Deep Security™ within NTT DOCOMO and refers Deep Security features in docomo cloud package it sells to customers. “Deep Security can be flexibly applied to systems of any scale in the cloud. When used properly, it can fulfill the requirements of internal systems and meet the varied security needs of our customers,” said Moritani.
