NEC announced plans to launch a global cybersecurity monitoring framework, establishing 24/7 operations across Japan, the US, and Europe starting in July 2027. The initiative aims to support Japanese companies with overseas operations, addressing challenges in security management and compliance with local regulations. A new European hub will open in April 2027, and the 'Follow the Sun' model will enable continuous monitoring by handing off operations between the three hubs based on regional business hours. This framework will enhance incident detection and response capabilities, allowing centralized oversight of security posture. Additionally, NEC will assist companies in complying with Japan's Active Cyber Defense Act, which requires critical infrastructure operators to report cyberattacks. Services to support attack detection and reporting were initiated in October 2026, ahead of the framework's launch.
