With banking services becoming increasingly digital and financial institutions faced with a threat landscape growing in both volume and sophistication, Mizuho Financial Group turned to Tanium to provide the visibility into endpoint behavior needed to investigate threats and mitigate risk \u2013 in real time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve found that rule-based monitoring often results in a high number of false positives, which places a heavy burden on monitoring operations, but executing queries based on the Tanium platform allows us to detect legitimate behaviors from scanning products and vulnerability assessment tools,\u201d said Masahiro Doi, vice president, Cyber Response Team, Cybersecurity Management Department at Mizuho Financial Group. \u201cThe Tanium Autonomous IT Platform has proven it can be used for broader threat hunting and detection as well, and we have plans to expand its use internally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mizuho Financial Group identified Tanium as the optimal choice to confront the cyber risks presented by ransomware, third-party risk and nation-state actors. With the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform, the megabank is able to observe endpoint behavior in real time and continuously monitor for malicious activity, effectively eliminating manual workflows and reducing the number of false positives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply honored to play a central role in supporting Japan\u2019s financial infrastructure through our work with Mizuho Financial Group,\u201d said Hidenori Harada, senior vice president, Tanium Japan. \u201cIn an increasingly sophisticated and complex threat landscape, Tanium\u2019s unified platform with real-time intelligence is key to powering the forward-looking threat hunting initiatives Mizuho Financial Group is looking to drive. We will continue to strive to deliver greater value by supporting our customers in protecting their critical systems and information.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanium, a leader in Autonomous IT, announced today that Mizuho Financial Group, one of the world\u2019s largest full-service&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1049,5025,10586,8,33],"class_list":{"0":"post-12682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japan","8":"tag-finance","9":"tag-fintech","10":"tag-fintech-industry","11":"tag-japan","12":"tag-nihon"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
