Expert Lightning Talks

This time, we will hold lightning talks by two experts who will carry the future of cyber security.

Ms. Shino Ogasawara
(Cyber Security Division, Commerce and Information Policy Bureau, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)
Initiatives by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to Strengthen Cyber Security Measures Across the Supply Chain

In recent years, security incidents through supply chains have been occurring frequently, and security measures across the entire supply chain, including contractors, are required. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relatively weak security measures are sometimes targeted as the starting point of an attack, so this is not someone else's problem for SMEs either.

I will introduce the initiatives by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to strengthen cyber security measures across the entire supply chain, such as the SCS evaluation system scheduled to begin operation this fiscal year.

Mr. Masaya Harasaki
(Manager, 1st Social Security Business Division, 2nd Public Sector Business Head Office, NTT Data Corporation)
"Systematizing" Security Responses for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
Security PF Concept for SMEs that Aims to be Realized through Co-creation by Society as a Whole

In recent years, the threat of cyber security attacks is not limited to large enterprises, but the scope of attacks is also expanding to small and medium-sized enterprises. On the other hand, it is the SME tier that is not progressing with security measures as desired due to constraints in human resources, budget, and time.

In this session, I will introduce the security platform concept that NTT Data aims to realize together with all of you security professionals.
