Infrastructure Development
Zero Trust Security Initiatives
In response to increasingly diversified work styles including remote work, JFE Engineering is striving to
build an information and communications technology (ICT) environment that allows employees to work
securely anytime and anywhere.
As part of this effort, in fiscal 2023, we became the first JFE Group company to introduce zero trust
security, a security approach that takes measures without automatically trusting all network accesses,
both internal and external.
This initiative has achieved the following three benefits:
Introduction at major locations in Japan was completed in fiscal 2024, making it possible to centrally
manage information including telecommunications content from every
location and mobile client connection information.
This arrangement expedites the analysis of causes when a ailure occurs, greatly increasing maintenance
efficiency.
In addition, with the migration from previous remote access environments that had a high risk of being
breached, we have achieved a lighter workload during emergencies and stronger security.
We intend to roll this out successively at locations and Group companies in Japan and overseas.
