[Summary] After the 3rd AI boom that utilized machine learning and deep learning in the 2010s, we are now entering the 4th AI boom, where anyone can turn their ideas into creatives thanks to the rise of generative AI. The global market demand for generative AI is expected to reach $211 billion in 2030, with a high average annual growth rate of 53.3%. *1 In addition, the fields in which generative AI is expected to be introduced include finance, manufacturing,
distribution, medical/nursing care, and communications/broadcasting, and changes that can significantly change people’s lifestyles are expected to occur in all situations. It will be. While the convenience of AI has increased, cyber attacks and information leaks that exploit AI have been on the rise in recent years, and security awareness has increased not only among companies and employees involved in AI business, but also among general consumers. As a result, security measures for AI systems have become essential. In this environment, in order to realize our vision of “creating a convenient and safe network society,” BBSec recognizes that a new network society will emerge in the lead-up to the pre-singularity in 2030. In order to solve social issues such as “attacks targeting supply chains,” “attacks targeting social infrastructure,” and “security in the age of AI,” we have established a management vision “Vision 2030” and a growth strategy “Action 2024” to realize it. ” has been established.

Joint research on a corporate risk calculation model using AI] With cyber security threats increasing year by year, the lack of standards for companies to judge the necessity of security investment is causing cyber incidents due to insufficient security measures. This has led to a decline in competitiveness due to security issues and excessive security measures. At BBSec, we combine pluszero’s AI product development capabilities based on nearly 20 years of security business performance and data, as well as information on publicly disclosed security incidents, etc., to make it possible to determine the appropriate security investment amount.
