Background and Objective
In recent years, the number of cyber-attacks is on the rise and the threat of cyber-attacks on enterprises has become a serious issue with direct implications on business risk. Against this backdrop, CSC provides web application security services that leverage world-leading cyber threat intelligence and AI technology. CSC also started expanding its overseas business with its U.S. subsidiary.
And now, CSC has invited Mr. Susumu Omori, who has experience at foreign financial institutions such as Credit Suisse Securities and UBS Securities as the former head of Japan, as well as served as a member of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Market Operations Committee, to serve as its global strategic advisor to help CSC formulate management and IR strategies for the expansion of its global business and to strengthen its corporate governance, including corporate compliance.
