We support you.
Change is involved in the NEW-IT transformation business, which supports the development of digital human resources and innovates and digitizes business processes.In particular, we provide support for the development of DX human resources to customers who are ICT companies and SI companies that will be responsible for digital transformation. We support reskilling.
This program is an initiative that combines the strengths of E-Guardian, a comprehensive internet security company, and Change, which has provided human resources development and training services to customers, especially ICT and SI companies. It supports the development of human resources. In addition, E-Guardian, which became Change HD Group in October 2023, will demonstrate business synergies, which will be a step toward contributing even more to customers, society, and shareholders.
According to a survey of domestic listed companies and unlisted companies with sales of 40 billion yen or more, 88.8% of companies responded that they lack security human resources (“Cyber Security Survey 2023”: KPMG consulting). Furthermore, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “Survey on IT Human Resources Supply and Demand”, it is estimated that there will be a shortage of approximately 790,000 IT human resources by 2030. In response to this situation, E-Guardian and Change have decided to start offering the “Security Human Resources Development Security for DX Program” to develop security human resources.
Training for developing security personnel is already provided by various companies, but some training is basic for general employees, such as “Beware of targeted email attacks,” and conversely, training such as zero trust, authentication, session management, etc. It is biased towards security engineers who are starting with elemental technology.
However, amidst the shortage of IT human resources, ICT companies and SI companies are actively converting liberal arts human resources into engineers.
In these days of reskilling, it is also true that learning content that is at both extremes is difficult to provide sufficiently effective training.
As part of the “Security Human Resources Development Security for DX Program,” this service provides practical training for not only engineers, but also new liberal arts graduates and sales staff at ICT and SI companies, regarding the security measures that are essential for advancing DX business. This program allows students to acquire knowledge and skills regarding security measures. This program is supervised by Hiroshi Tokumaru, director and CTO of EG Secure Solutions Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of E-Guardian, and a leader in web security in Japan.
Although we believe that the impact of this matter on our business performance is minor at this stage, if we find that it will have an impact on our business performance in the future, we will promptly make an announcement.
[Outline of “Security Human Resources Development Security for DX Program (Supervision: Hiroshi Tokumaru)”]
Through three courses: Basic, Practical, and DX Business, you will learn through experience and case studies about security measures that can be put to practical use after understanding the significance of reducing specific risks. Each course will be released sequentially from April 2024.
-Summary of content-
・Equip employees of ICT companies and SI companies (or the IT departments of companies receiving IT services) with the concepts and skills of security measures.
・To help students acquire the knowledge and skills to meet the demand that security should be incorporated as a matter of course at the time of development and provision of IT services (security by design) ・Learn knowledge and skills about security operations and monitoring to continuously maintain and improve security, which is an issue in DX promotion and new business operations using DX.
-Course classification and participants-
・Basic edition (for all engineers and sales staff at ICT/SI companies): Students will learn risk-based security measures through examples and cases so that new liberal arts graduates, sales personnel, and mid-career engineers can explain the importance and comprehensiveness of security.

As a practice of security by design, learn about secure design and secure coding techniques in web application development through attack experiences in virtual environments.
・DX business edition (for system administrators and business operators): In addition to periodic/event-based vulnerability response and incident response, you will learn countermeasures according to business phases, such as establishing DevSecOps for security operations such as log monitoring and ASM, and updates, etc. through scenario work.
