BRL is a wholly owned by Sony Corporation research and development group, famed for its world-class expertise on security and forward-looking thinking on emerging technologies. We strongly believe that Sony has a responsibility to protect and empower its trusted customers. Our team of penetration testers is working hard to ensure that our consumers can use Sony’s products and services with peace of mind, knowing that they are in safe hands. Another team of defensive security experts is venturing into the future and, for example, developing novel methods for safeguarding artificial intelligence’s decision-making process from abuse. As the online world is slowly moving towards decentralised Web3, we are taking actions to ensure that Sony is ready for this disruption. In preparation, we are developing technologies for safe digital and crypto asset management across services. We are also exploring new means for more privacy-preserving personal data management, and experimenting with how online communities could thrive using decentralised technologies.
