Incident response
coordination and
joint exercises

In the event that an incident occurs at multiple organizations from a single cause, or an incident at one organization that also affects other organizations, we coordinate and implement a response with the CSIRT of other companies, as needed, to address the issue.
To ensure a quick response to an incident, we regularly conduct joint exercises with the CSIRT of other companies and verify how we work with each other at the time of incident.

Through these efforts we aim to minimize the impacts caused by incidents and mitigate any harm that may result.
