Cybersecurity companies in Japan are reporting a rapid increase in demand for a wide range of security services in recent weeks, as the number of cyberattacks rises and awareness grows following a series of high-profile incidents.

Digital Data Solution (DDS), which offers data recovery, digital forensics, security operations center protection and vulnerability testing, is especially busy these days, said Managing Director Masashi Kumagai.

“The forensic team responds to cyber incidents whenever a cyberattack occurs,” said Kumagai. “Their cases have doubled.”
