Forwarded From: Nicholas Charles Brawn <ncb05t_private> 10Apr98 JAPAN: NEC TO START COMPUTER SECURITY SERVICES. Tokyo, April 10 (Jiji Press)-NEC Corp. will start services next week to help companies secure their computer networks against hackers, the company said Friday. To examine customers' security systems, it will break into their networks experimentally by using SAFEsuite software, developed by Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems Inc. NEC will then point out problems and suggest how to improve the security of the computer networks, company officials said. It will also design security systems, provide a 24-hour network monitoring service and offer educational programs concerning security control, they said. With introduction of the Internet, an increasing number of companies are suffering at the hands of hackers. The Japan Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center, which tackles computer security problems, says it received 505 reports of hacker-caused sabotage through Dec. 31 last year from the center's start of operations in October 1996. JPCERT/CC operates under the auspices of the Japan Information Processing Development Center, a nonprofit organization.
