JFE Steel Corporation is driving digital transformation (DX) to strengthen its competitive edge. In parallel, the company is reinforcing security across its production sites—commonly referred to as OT environments—under the principle of “DX with Security,” promoting both transformation and protection hand in hand. As its once-closed production environments become increasingly open, JFE Steel selected AppGuard to protect the terminals that control its industrial systems, recognizing its ability to operate in offline environments while providing lightweight yet rigorous endpoint protection.
