Security and Business Continuity in a Human Centric Intelligent Society
- Enhanced authentification platforms, privacy protection and security intelligence

In a Human Centric Intelligent Society, the reliability of information is a key priority. In addition to ensuring the accuracy of information, it is essential to have a mechanism in place to maintain continuous business operations and access to information. Considering the increasing incidence of cyber-attacks, it is realistic to assume security breaches will continue to be a threat.

As the Human Centric Innovation partner, Fujitsu helps its customers to meet their security and business continuity needs. The company proposes a security strategy that will suit their unique operational needs and recommends solutions to support them. Fujitsu helps organisations to realise a safe and secure ICT environment to ensure continuous business operation and the protection of third-party data. That’s why Fujitsu is focusing its resources on three measures: enhanced authentication platforms, privacy protection and security intelligence.

Fujitsu provides robust authentication platforms, by combining best-in-breed technologies. For example, the company offers world-leading biometric technologies, such as palm-vein authentication, and near field communication (NFC) technology. Fujitsu also provides a centralised management of device assets, application and support services for loss and theft. These services work with all smart devices regardless of model or network carrier, and will also suit a BYOD policy for those organisations that have them in place.

Fujitsu is developing a variety of technologies to enable privacy protection. These include technologies that make personal information anonymous, enabling the processing of data while it is still encrypted. The company has developed its ‘Cloud Information Gateway Technology’ to enable enterprise customers to use external services without transferring the actual data to them. This is achieved by concealing confidential information at the gateway and storing only anonymised data in the cloud. Fujitsu expects these new technologies will promote the use of cloud as a collaboration platform and lead to information sharing between different organisations across industries.

Security Intelligence is the practice of analysing information flows to foresee any potential threats. Fujitsu is focusing on providing its customers with prediction-based Security Intelligence in order to respond to the threat of cyber attacks.

When it comes to security, one size does not fit all. Fujitsu’s security experts develop security policies, measures and solutions that best suit the unique operational environment of each of its customers and provide continuous support. Fujitsu leverages its expertise to help its customers strengthen security and business continuity.
