Fukunishi Denki to Host Online Seminar on Navigating JC-STAR Compliance for IoT Products
Fukunishi Denki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, Japan; Representative Director and President: Hidenobu Iwamoto) announced that it will host an online seminar titled “Navigate JC-STAR Compliance with High-Security Embedded Linux & Support Services: Achieving ★1-★3 Levels” on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
In recent years, security requirements for IoT products have rapidly intensified both domestically and internationally, with the IoT Product Security Labeling Scheme “JC-STAR” gaining traction. As the acquisition of ★1 expands and requirements for ★2 (smart homes) and ★3 (communication devices, network cameras, etc.) are developed, addressing these standards in product development becomes increasingly critical. This seminar aims to clarify the security requirements and key points for obtaining certification across JC-STAR levels ★1 to ★3.
Attendees will also learn about practical approaches for efficient certification, secure long-term operation, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management, and compliance with the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which are vital security measures for future product development.
Recommended for:
-
Individuals involved in IoT device development
-
Those aiming for JC-STAR certification
-
Professionals receiving inquiries from end-users regarding JC-STAR compliance
-
Personnel responsible for product security and certification compliance
-
Anyone interested in the latest trends concerning regulations and certifications like JC-STAR and CRA

Lecture Program
Lecture 1: Tomohiro Jitsuyoshi (Atmark Techno Inc.)
“A Practical Approach for Linux-based Devices Towards JC-STAR ★3 Compliance: Separating OS/Applications with Container OS and Continuous Vulnerability Management”
JC-STAR ★3 demands robust hardware and software defenses, as well as stringent evaluation of “rapid response to vulnerabilities” and “secure update systems” post-shipment. This session will delve into the security benefits of adopting a “Container OS” in embedded Linux development. It will explain a practical approach that enhances overall product safety by separating the system foundation from applications using container technology, while maintaining development speed and achieving both ★3-level robustness and excellent maintainability.
Lecture 2: Dairo Toyoshima (Cybertrust Co., Ltd.)
“The Path to JC-STAR ★1 and ★3 Certification”
Many responsible parties face challenges when aiming for JC-STAR certification, struggling to define the necessary requirements, documentation, and testing specifics. This session will feature an expert with extensive experience in supporting IoT security standards and JC-STAR certification. The presentation will condense practical know-how, covering organizational preparation, essential functional requirements, and key points for passing actual device tests.
Lecture 3: Keisuke Shibata (Fukunishi Denki Co., Ltd.)
“Bridging Product Security: Fukunishi Denki’s Optimal Solutions Connecting Legal Frameworks with OS and Devices”
Amid recent societal changes and strengthened regulations, “Secure by Design”—considering security from the product planning stage—has become indispensable. However, achieving compliance with schemes like JC-STAR, selecting optimal OS and devices, and managing vulnerabilities post-sales independently can impose a significant burden. Fukunishi Denki’s purpose is to “create a future full of ‘happiness’ with optimal solutions, serving as a bridge between people, technology, and information.” The company offers integrated proposals spanning all these areas. This session will introduce Fukunishi Denki’s one-stop solutions, ranging from security consulting for regulatory compliance to embedded OS for long-term support, and industrial network equipment and devices that protect mission-critical environments.
