Admin’s Note

The announcement of Nichirei’s recovery serves as a reminder of how significantly cyberattacks can impact business operations. As evident from the conversation between Log and Chako, the importance of corporate security measures is becoming increasingly critical. This raises the question of how companies should implement these measures, especially in industries like frozen foods that affect many people, where swift action is essential. I believe that, in light of such incidents, it is necessary not only for businesses but also for individuals to enhance their awareness of security.
