Case Study: Osaka Prefectural Government secures COVID-19 infection registration with WithSecure Cloud Protection for Salesforce

Protecting the People of Osaka with Swift Implementation and Measures to Address Cyber Threats

The Osaka Prefectural Government needed to securely launch a COVID-19 infection registration system on its Salesforce platform. The challenge was to quickly implement robust anti-malware protection to scan image files uploaded by citizens, preventing cyber attacks without delaying the critical public health initiative. They turned to WithSecure for a solution using their product, WithSecure™ Cloud Protection for Salesforce.

WithSecure's solution was implemented swiftly, taking only minutes to set up on the Salesforce environment and a single day for full verification. The results were highly successful, ensuring security by automatically scanning uploaded files for malware with minimal administrative burden. The system launched on time and, as of January 2023, had securely processed approximately 480,000 infection registrations without any major issues, protecting both citizen data and government operations.
