HeartCore Partners with Hitachi Systems, Ltd. to Offer Combined Package of HeartCore CMS and GRED Web Security Assessment Cloud

NEW YORK and TOKYO, July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTCR) (“HeartCore” or the “Company”), a leading enterprise software and consulting services company based in Tokyo, announced it has partnered with Hitachi Systems, Ltd. (“Hitachi Systems”) to offer a combined package of HeartCore CMS and GRED Web Security Assessment Cloud.

Cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and frequent each year, targeting websites of all sizes and industries and leaving webmasters to handle daily incidents. With a wide adoption of CMS platforms for content and website management purposes, robust security measures across all platforms are crucial to protect the corporate brand.

Recognizing the industry-wide vulnerabilities, HeartCore has partnered with Hitachi Systems to offer a bundled package of the flagship HeartCore CMS platform and Hitachi Systems’ GRED Web Security Assessment Cloud, an automated cloud-based service that assesses vulnerabilities in web infrastructure prone to cyberattacks. The partnership leverages automation to consistently perform security assessments and update vulnerable information, relieving website operators of this burden and reducing company costs for cybersecurity measures.

“Given the prevalence of cyberattacks, our strategic partnership with Hitachi Systems will combine our enterprise CMS platform with their cybersecurity services to offer a secure, one-stop content management solution,” said HeartCore CEO Sumitaka Kanno Yamamoto. “Following our software business’s profitability this past first quarter, we aim to sustain this trend by pursuing partnerships that drive innovation in our CMS platform. By providing customers with an all-in-one CMS platform that includes robust cybersecurity measures, we ensure our clients’ online security while reducing additional security costs that are typically outsourced. Through continuous innovation, new functionalities, and system integrations via partnerships, we strive to maintain our high customer retention rate, which continues to remain a cornerstone for our software business’s success.”
