Cyber Security Cloud, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toshihiro Koike; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), a global security manufacturer, is pleased to announce that it will begin offering "AI MONBAN," an AI governance platform developed independently by its group company DataSign Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuichi Ota; hereinafter referred to as "DataSign"), which enables visualization, control, and auditing of AI use in companies, starting June 9, 2026.

■The increasing use of AI is spreading invisible threats, raising questions about corporate AI governance.
In recent years, the business use of generative AI and AI agents has expanded rapidly, and the use of AI in companies is accelerating, with advancements in external service integration utilizing MCP (Model Context Protocol). On the other hand, the use of "shadow AI," which is not under the control of companies, is also expanding. It has been found that approximately 15% of AI users use unmanaged AI services for business purposes, and one in four people inputs data containing confidential information into AI. *1
The "AI Business Operator Guidelines" published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications emphasize the importance of establishing a system to appropriately understand and control the status of AI usage. *2
Going forward, it will be essential for companies using AI to establish a system that can explain "who input what data into which AI and how it was used," making AI governance an urgent management issue.

(*1) May 13, 2026, Cybersecurity Cloud: "35% of users of generated AI have experienced near misses, mainly due to copy-pasting and input of confidential information caused by 'overconfidence in AI'."

■ What is 'AI MONBAN', which visualizes, controls, and audits AI usage?
This governance platform visualizes, controls, and audits all data flows related to AI use within an enterprise. It functions as a "gateway" between internal systems and various AI models, creating a system that allows for centralized understanding and control of "who sent what, when, to which AI," without requiring changes to existing business systems.

■ Main Features
① Masking process: Automatically removes incorrectly entered confidential and personal information in real time.
This system automatically detects and masks personal information contained in input data for AI. It prevents unintended leaks of confidential information and provides strong technical support for compliance with the Personal Information Protection Act and GDPR.

② MCP Gateway: Enables seamless integration between core systems and external services, making management and control easy.
As a standard gateway compliant with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it securely connects AI models to internal core systems and external services. By centrally managing AI-driven data access, it enables flexible access control for each connection destination.

③ AI Access Log Report: Automatically accumulates operational data necessary for audits.
This system automatically records AI usage and allows auditing of data access logs from AI using MCP, as well as chat masking logs. It ensures the reliable accumulation of essential evidence for regulatory reporting and audits without requiring additional operational effort.

④ Multi-LLM switching: Allows you to use your familiar AI in a secure environment.
You can easily switch between and utilize multiple leading AI models, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure OpenAI, simply by configuring API keys. This avoids vendor lock-in and allows you to select the model optimized for your business needs and applications.

■Future developments

AI MONBAN is the first step in our group's efforts in the AI security business.

Going forward, we will evolve this into an integrated platform that supports integration with existing SaaS, internal databases, and data warehouses that are not compatible with MCP, allowing AI agents to securely access necessary information with appropriate permissions. We also aim to create an AI marketplace where users can select and utilize the most suitable AI agent according to their needs and business requirements.

Our group will integrate cybersecurity technology with DataSign's data governance technology to provide a security and governance platform essential for AI utilization, thereby supporting companies in safely using AI.
