Hitachi launched HMAX Cyber, an operational resilience service that combines AI, cybersecurity, and IT/OT expertise to help enterprises protect critical systems and maintain business continuity.
Hitachi launched HMAX Cyber, a new operational resilience service designed to help enterprises protect systems from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks while supporting business continuity. The service is one of the Foundry Solutions supporting HMAX by Hitachi, the company’s suite of AI-enabled solutions for social infrastructure.
HMAX Cyber combines insights into frontier AI gained through Hitachi’s collaboration with companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Cloud with the company’s operational and cybersecurity expertise across railway, energy, and industrial infrastructure. GlobalLogic also contributes engineering and deployment expertise.
HMAX Cyber combines governance, threat management, and recovery capabilities to strengthen operational resilience
Supporting Cybersecurity Across the Operational Lifecycle
HMAX Cyber is structured around three areas: Govern & Identify, Manage, and Recover.
Govern & Identify focuses on understanding assets, vulnerabilities, and operational risks before an incident occurs. Capabilities include business continuity planning, regulatory compliance support, asset and vulnerability visualization, Product Security Incident Response Team development, and AI-supported vulnerability assessments across IT and OT environments.
The Manage component provides continuous monitoring through Hitachi’s integrated IT/OT Security Operations Center. It incorporates an Agentic SOC model in which AI agents can identify and investigate threats and initiate response actions, while human specialists provide oversight for more complex decisions.
Hitachi Rail has already implemented an Agentic SOC developed in collaboration with Google Cloud. Hitachi is using experience from this deployment as part of its Customer Zero approach to help further develop HMAX Cyber.
Recovery and Business Continuity
The Recover component focuses on restoring operations following a successful cyberattack. It supports recovery planning, data restoration, and execution of business continuity plans.
Hitachi Vantara data protection technology is used to help isolate critical data from external attackers and support restoration to the last known good state before an attack.
The service reflects the growing importance of operational resilience as IT and OT environments become more connected. For industrial organizations, cybersecurity strategies increasingly need to address not only prevention and detection but also the ability to maintain and restore critical operations following an incident.
