随着越来越多的日本公司遭到未经授权的计算机系统入侵，主要电子制造商正面临关于其网络防御服务的咨询激增。
With a growing number of Japanese firms falling prey to unauthorized computer system breaches, major electronics makers are facing a flurry of inquiries about their cyberdefense services.
随着这些公司扩大服务范围以应对日益复杂、由人工智能驱动的网络攻击，需求预计将继续增长。
The demand is expected to continue growing as these companies expand their service offerings to counter increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven cyberattacks.
“我们正收到越来越多来自负责关键基础设施的客户公司的咨询，例如电力供应商、交通服务提供商、制造商和金融服务公司，他们希望了解如何在网络攻击发生时确保业务连续性，”日立高级顾问古志佳奈子表示。
“We are receiving more and more requests for consultations about how to ensure business continuity in the event of cyberattacks, from client companies responsible for critical infrastructure, such as power suppliers, transport service providers, manufacturers and financial service firms,” Kanako Gushi, senior consultant at Hitachi, said.
上个月，该公司开始提供一项综合服务，支持诸如监测和检测网络攻击风险以及恢复受影响系统等运营，利用美国OpenAI和Anthropic的最先进人工智能模型。
Last month, the company started providing a comprehensive service that supports operations such as monitoring and detecting cyberattack risks and restoring affected systems, leveraging state-of-the-art AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic in the United States.
日立服务的优势在于利用人工智能进行网络攻击模拟，并帮助受影响的公司在不中断运营的情况下恢复系统。“我们将与客户合作，支持其系统的韧性（弹性），”古志强调。
The Hitachi service’s strength lies in using AI for cyberattack simulations and helping affected companies restore their systems without suspending operations. “We will work with our clients to support resilience (of their systems),” Gushi stressed.
自8月下旬宣布网络防御战略以来，富士通收到了来自客户公司的大量咨询。一位公关官员表示，过去几天咨询数量“进一步增加”。
Fujitsu has received a spate of inquiries from client firms since it announced a cyberdefense strategy in late August. The number of inquiries “increased further” in the past few days, a public relations official said.
10月1日，富士通成立了一个专注于网络防御的部门，约有100名员工。公司预计该部门将超越仅应对系统关闭的范围，最终提供网络安全投资方面的建议。
On Oct. 1, Fujitsu established a cyberdefense-focused division with about 100 employees. The company expects the unit to expand beyond responding to system shutdowns and eventually provide advice on cybersecurity investments.
NEC 上个月底推出了一项服务，由人工智能自动分析风险并制定应对政策，目标客户为金融机构、制造商和分销公司。
NEC late last month launched a service in which AI automatically analyzes risks and draws up response policies, targeting financial institutions, manufacturers and distribution companies.
在线服务的普及大幅增加了企业持有的个人数据量，导致网络攻击造成的损害不断上升。
The spread of online services has substantially increased the amounts of personal data held by corporations, leading to rises in damage from cyberattacks.
富士通官员表示警惕，称：“随着人工智能变得更加智能，犯罪分子能够快速搜索系统漏洞并大规模实施网络攻击的可能性也随之增加。”
A Fujitsu official expressed a sense of caution, saying, “It has become possible for perpetrators to quickly search for system vulnerabilities and carry out cyberattacks on a wide scale as AI becomes more intelligent.”
