Email system: Google cloud emailing service

Zenhoren was dissatisfied with the previous email hosting service which did not provide an analysis tool for archived emails and other operational features

After evaluating several products including Google Vault, WISE Audit was selected as the best packaged product with assured continuity of the same level of service, for its ability to provide continuous archiving support during email service migration, and its virtualization support which ensured availability and scalability.
“With the limited capacity provided by the previous archiving service, we were having to perform export operations periodically. Now we are able to design sufficient capacity on our own system and reduce the workload of our staff. Searching the archive is also easy with WISE Audit. We expect that day-to-day administration work will be further reduced.”

Esri Japan Corporation NEW

Scale: 300 accounts
Product: WISE Alert Enterprise
Deployed: Dec 2012

In use for over 10 years, de-PPAP in conjunction with OneDrive is just one click away.
Esri Japan Corporation was comparing products that could prevent erroneous transmissions in the simplest and easiest-to-understand way possible.

The deciding factor in the decision to introduce WISE Alert was its ability to operate as an add-in to Microsoft Outlook and to recognize at a glance the presence or absence of external destinations and attachments!
Voice of the person in charge:
We have been using WISE Alert for more than 10 years now, and we feel that it has become so ingrained in the company’s operations that it is indispensable when sending e-mails. One of the things we like about WISE Alert is that the warnings are easy to understand, and it is easy to point and check. In recent years, a link sharing feature has been added to accommodate the de-PPAP movement, allowing us to automate the de-PPAP work we used to do manually from Microsoft OneDrive. We also like the ability to choose the attachment method based on the destination with a single click.

Image Information System Inc.

Scale: 68 accounts

Deployed: Oct 2022

Alignment with SharePoint solves PPAP problem
Image Information System Inc. decided to consider implementing an e-mail security solution that would provide countermeasures against misdirected e-mails and de-PPAP when they implemented Microsoft 365.

After comparing multiple products in terms of functionality, management, and price, the decision was made to implement WISE Alert, which was the easiest to implement in the existing environment, as well as being able to handle de-PPAP!
Voice of the person in charge:
WISE Alert has a link sharing feature that can automatically convert emails with attachments to de-PPAP emails when sent. Using this function, we are able to share files in conjunction with Microsoft SharePoint, so we are able to deal with business partners who do not receive ZIP-encrypted files without any hassle. The system has been operating smoothly since its introduction, and we look forward to more detailed support in the future.

Utilize “WISE Alert” automatic ZIP encryption according to the request of the destination
Authense LPC., a law firm, has introduced “WISE Alert” to prevent erroneous email transmission and reduce the time and effort of ZIP encryption of attached files!

Previously, the file was converted to a password-protected ZIP file and then attached to the email. Since there are many email exchanges in business, this work was a burden, which was the reason for the introduction.
Voice of the person in charge:
With the introduction of “WISE Alert”, each person can review their email destination on the pop-up screen before sending. I feel that I was able to significantly reduce the time and effort required for ZIP encryption. While I feel that there are more opportunities to share files with cloud services these days, I am often asked to attach ZIP-encrypted files to emails. We will utilize the automatic ZIP encryption function of “WISE Alert” according to the request of the destination.

HIPUS Co., Ltd. had already used “WISE Alert” when it belonged to the general electric appliance maker group, but it became unavailable in some departments due to the change of the company structure.

Decided to introduce “WISE Alert” again as an email security measure that does not burden users!
Voice of the person in charge: I used to use “WISE Alert”. Since it was a product that employees are accustomed to using, we considered introducing it this time. Compared to other products, “WISE Alert” is easy to operate and easy to introduce. When sending an email, a pop-up screen will be displayed to prompt you to confirm the recipient and attached files. As a result, we will continue to use it with the expectation that the users themselves will take thorough measures against erroneous transmission.

Ootorikai social welfare corporation

Scale: 30 accounts
Product: WISE Alert Enterprise
Deployed：March 2021

Nursing care fee revision x Information leakage countermeasures-Special license is the decisive factor | E-mail usage has increased due to the fact that the use of e-mail was permitted in some businesses due to the revision of the nursing care fee in the 3rd year of Reiwa and the influence of the new coronavirus infection prevention measures.

Since the attached file contains personal information, consider measures against erroneous transmission. “WISE Alert” is selected because of its good operability and functions and easy installation! The fact that it was possible to purchase at a low price with a special license for medical institutions was also a strong push.
Voice of the person in charge: Incorrect email transmission may have a significant impact on the other party, such as consideration for the other party and loss of corporate social credibility. The temporary hold function is expected to have the effect of reducing the risk of erroneous transmission. With the next revision of the nursing care fee, there is a possibility that the range of e-mail utilization will expand further, and I would like to utilize it in anticipation that the paperless and active generation will be used in the future.
