Restoration of Sony’s PlayStation Network and Qriocity services began this past weekend, after the company spent the better part of a month shoring up its data security infrastructure.
Sony says it has added software monitoring, penetration and vulnerability testing, and new levels of encryption and firewall protection to its network, along with an early-warning system for unusual activity patterns that could signal attempts to breach security. The company also announced the appointment of Fumiaki Sakai, president of Sony Global Solutions, as acting Chief Information Security Officer of Sony Network Entertainment International. Sakai oversees efforts to further reinforce overall information security across the company’s network infrastructure, while leading the search for a new and permanent CISO.
