Cyber Security Cloud, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshihiro Koike; hereinafter referred to as "the Company")'s fully managed public cloud environment security service "CloudFastener" has been implemented by Ain Holdings Corporation (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; President and CEO: Otani Kiichi; hereinafter referred to as "Ain Group"), which operates dispensing pharmacies such as "Ain Pharmacy" nationwide.

■Business challenges and reasons for introducing CloudFastener
The Ain Group's business is centered around the pharmacy and retail businesses. In the pharmacy business, the group operates a chain of dispensing pharmacies nationwide, and is actively expanding its business through new store openings and M&A. In the retail business, the group is expanding its business by developing the cosmetics store "Ainz & Tulpe" and the interior shop "Francfranc," among others.
The company provides a variety of applications, including the "Ain Pharmacy Official App - Always Ain Pharmacy," and builds and operates the IT infrastructure related to its business operations on the cloud. As the number of systems it operates increases, the company felt the need to further strengthen security.
To address this issue, they introduced CloudFastener which allows them to outsource comprehensive cloud security measures to a professional security partner and customize the service to meet the needs of each individual company.

[Comments from Osamu Takeda, General Manager, Information Systems Department, Digital Promotion Headquarters, AIN Holdings, Inc.]
With the introduction of CloudFastener, we have been able to entrust security operations, which had previously felt like a heavy burden on a daily basis, to professional security partners, creating an environment in which we can concentrate on development work, which we should have been focusing on. Also, it's not a completely outsourced service, but it's a service that accompanies our company closely, which is very reassuring. With the introduction of CloudFastener, we are able to promote cloud utilization with peace of mind.
