Security Copilot is a generative AI tool that Mitsui uses to streamline its security operations, particularly within its Security Operation Center (SOC). By leveraging this technology, Mitsui aims to reduce its reliance on highly skilled security specialists, allowing for more efficient management of security alerts and incidents. It helps analyze a large volume of alerts, improving response times and accuracy, especially for Japanese inquiries.

Mitsui is focusing on generative AI, particularly through the use of Security Copilot, to enhance the efficiency of its security operations. This approach allows the company to manage security tasks with fewer highly skilled personnel. The integration of AI helps automate routine tasks and provides support in analyzing alerts, which is crucial given the three- to fourfold increase in targeted attack emails since fiscal 2021.

Mitsui's cybersecurity strategy revolves around three main concepts: Prevention, Training, and Management. Prevention focuses on IT hygiene and asset management, Training emphasizes the implementation of zero-trust security measures, and Management involves creating a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) for effective risk management. This integrated approach supports the company's broader digital transformation initiatives across its global operations.
