ECQ partners with CEL to provide innovative Cybersecurity solutions for the Japanese market

ECQ's SCADA/OT system simulation product with just one server rack is being welcomed by the Japanese market as a comprehensive innovative solution for the critical infrastructure security industry.

Cyberattack methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, with the rapid increase of new threats from the Asian region. The Japanese market is in dire need of effective countermeasures against cyberattacks. In this context, CEL, a leading Japanese security company, has decided to cooperate with ECQ, a Vietnamese security company headquartered in Singapore and a branch in Thailand, with the motto of “Attack is Defense”, to provide comprehensive and advanced cybersecurity solutions to the Japanese market.

Through this cooperation, CEL and ECQ aim to improve both the quality and quantity, and diversify cybersecurity services in the Japanese market, contributing to strengthening Cybersecurity in the Asia- Pacific region. In particular, in the fields of OT (Operation Technology) system security, Redteam services and APT simulation, the two companies will focus on developing solutions to realize a safe digital society and effectively deal with new threats and challenges from smart factories.

The SCADA/OT simulation system is a specific innovative solution developed by ECQ and will be deployed in the Japanese market. The simulation system is about the size of a server rack, but is capable of almost exactly reproducing the operating environment of facilities such as oil refineries, water plants, airports, trains, or ports, etc.

This simulation system allows for the study of security vulnerabilities in OT without having to intervene in the real system. In addition, the SCADA/OT simulation system also supports OT security training to become more specific and easier. In addition, this system is also used for penetration testing and real-world combat in a simulated environment, helping to improve the ability to respond to security threats.

Through this partnership, we will contribute to improving the cyber resilience of Japanese companies.”

In addition, according to Mr. Nguyen Hai Dang - Director of ECQ Vietnam, said: “We are pleased to cooperate with CEL to bring ECQ's offensive security skills to the Japanese market. In addition, our in-depth vulnerability assessment and research skills are uniquely positioned to help Japanese organizations truly test their security assessments and proactively search for sophisticated threats from APT groups in the Asia region. Together with CEL, we look forward to strengthening Japan's cybersecurity position with our expertise in IT/OT security and advanced threats.”

Japanese companies are in dire need of effective countermeasures against the threats posed by cyber attacks. CEL has decided to partner with ECQ as a strategic partner to provide Japanese companies with more comprehensive and advanced cyber security solutions using diverse and effective attack techniques, following the “Attack is Defense” approach. Through this partnership, CEL and ECQ will support Japanese companies in improving their cyber resilience and the sophistication of their security measures, in order to realize a safe digital society.
