HENNGE K.K. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Kazuhiro Ogura) announces that its cloud security service “HENNGE One,” which mitigates security risks associated with SaaS usage and promotes technology adoption, now supports single sign-on to “Lightblue,” a generative AI agent service provided by Lightblue Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Atom Sonoda).
While many companies are adopting generative AI to boost productivity and cut costs, its actual integration into business operations faces hurdles. Organizations are hesitant to fully embrace AI due to dissatisfaction with generic models that do not provide accurate, internal, operation-specific answers, as well as concerns about confidential data leakage and data being used for training.
Lightblue addresses these challenges, making AI useful at the operational level. It optimizes answers using internal document integration (RAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation), which sources and combines necessary information from internal company documents. Furthermore, Lightblue provides a secure environment for use, ensuring that input data is not used for model learning.
The integration of HENNGE One and Lightblue enables HENNGE One users to use a single sign-on to Lightblue. They no longer have to manage complicated multiple IDs and passwords. Furthermore, HENNGE One’s access control features, such as IP Control and multi-factor authentication like device certificate, contribute to safer usage of Lightblue, reducing the risks of unauthorized access.
HENNGE will expand the range of SaaS that integrates with HENNGE One to support companies with IT applications and foster innovation.
