Sapporo Drug Store Implements Yamory for Enhanced Security Management
Sapporo Drug Store, which operates drugstores and pharmacies primarily in Hokkaido, has adopted the vulnerability management cloud "yamory" provided by the Visional Group's Assured. The announcement was made by Visional on November 12. The IT division of Sapporo Drug Store implemented yamory to continuously enhance the safety of its IT assets, including cloud services. This implementation allows for high-frequency scanning to complement traditional periodic assessments, visualizing previously unrecognized application vulnerabilities and focusing on addressing high-risk items.
Previously, external assessments were conducted once every quarter, making it necessary to have a system that enables more frequent monitoring of security status. It was challenging to comprehensively understand the applications under management and visualize the presence of vulnerabilities. The goal was to internalize the diagnostic and verification processes while maintaining security standards.
A key factor in the decision to implement yamory was its capability to transition to continuous vulnerability monitoring through daily scans, thus facilitating the internalization of vulnerability management while ensuring security standards. Compared to quarterly external assessments, the frequent scanning offers a high cost-effectiveness. After implementation, previously unrecognized application vulnerabilities can now be detected, making it easier to request responses from relevant teams based on detection results. Additionally, high-risk vulnerabilities can be automatically identified, reducing the effort and time required for risk assessment and enabling prompt responses.
