ACSiON Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Takanori Yasuda / Takaaki Takishita; hereinafter "ACSiON") is pleased to announce that Shimizu Bank, Ltd. (Head Office: Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Yasuhiro Iwayama) has implemented our phishing countermeasure service. In recent years, phishing scams targeting financial institutions have become increasingly sophisticated, with a rise in cunning attacks combining SMS, email, and fake websites. ACSiON's phishing countermeasure service features 24-hour monitoring specifically for domestic companies, providing early detection of fraudulent sites and appropriate requests for their closure. This implementation was made possible through Shimizu Bank's participation in a framework established by the Regional Banks Association of Japan for the joint use of ACSiON's phishing countermeasure service. This initiative provides a mechanism to ensure safety for service providers and maintain the peace of mind and trust of users. As a cybersecurity company, ACSiON will continue to offer services that address new risks in the digital society, leveraging its expertise in combating financial crime and its capabilities in building solutions as a platform provider for the Public Personal Authentication Service (JPKI).
