NTT Devises Server-Based System to Protect Customer Information

Posted on: Wednesday, 27 April 2005, 09:00 CDT

Apr. 26--TOKYO -- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. said Tuesday it has developed a system to protect customer information via a server computer.

The new system allows a server computer to store and manage all important information on customers and thus leaves none of such information in personal computers used by employees, NTT said.

To refer to customer information, employees need to access the server computer through their PCs having no hard disk drives.

With the system, no customer information is leaked even when a PC is lost or stolen.

As companies are obliged to prevent the leakage of personal information under a set of laws that took effect April 1, NTT plans to start selling the new system later this fiscal year.

Ahead of putting the system on the market, NTT will adopt it in its head office building in Tokyo's Otemachi business district.
