ACSiON Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Takanori Yasuda, Takaaki Takishita; hereinafter "ACSiON") announced on March 30, 2026, the release of a white paper titled "Radical Transparency: How to Protect Companies from Cyber Threats," co-produced with Forbes JAPAN Brand Studio (Publisher: Linktys Co., Ltd.). This document is a strategic proposal that explains how companies should build trust and defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks by using "proactive transparency" as a weapon. Professor Akira Iriyama of Waseda Business School, as well as key persons from Seven Bank, Yokohama Bank, JPCERT/CC, JC3, and JCCA, participated, clarifying the essence of defense in the future digital society from academic, industry, and government perspectives.
Background to the Production of "Radical Transparency"
Modern cyberattacks have become so sophisticated due to the misuse of generative AI that they are difficult for humans to discern. AI learns existing defense measures and continuously generates sophisticated attack methods at high speed, making it impossible for a single company to cope with past damage experience or limited knowledge alone. ACSiON is deeply concerned about the current situation where information disparities among companies ultimately create vulnerabilities in society as a whole.
In the coming era, cybersecurity will not be confined to a company's IT measures; rather, "transparency" and collaboration, involving mutual information sharing across industries and domains, will be the true survival strategy in the digital society. This document was planned with the aim of creating new value through a "cycle of knowledge" where individual companies share their insights and collectively expand the network of defense throughout society.
Main Contents of "Radical Transparency"
● From Cybersecurity as an IT Measure to the Implementation of a "Management Philosophy"
Professor Akira Iriyama explains the importance of implementing security not as a technical argument, but as a management philosophy that proves a company's integrity.
● Latest Threat Landscape
Visualizing the sophistication of attacks by generative AI and the reality of a specialized cybercrime ecosystem.
● Panel Discussion by Key Persons on the Front Lines of Defense
JPCERT/CC, JC3, and JCCA discuss security defense as a collaborative area that transcends the limits of individual companies and involves cooperation even with competitors.
● Case Studies of Advanced Companies
Introduction of the "proactive defense" 철칙 (iron rule) by Mr. Masaaki Matsuhashi, President and Representative Director of Seven Bank, and the strategic defense system of Yokohama Bank centered on specialized personnel and organizational collaboration.
● Proposals for the Future
ACSiON Representative Directors Yasuda and Takishita propose the necessity of continuously adaptable measures and mutual information disclosure in anticipation of the advent of the AI agent era.
Future Initiatives
ACSiON will expand the mechanisms of "transparency" and "collaboration," which involve sharing knowledge across industries and domains as advocated in this document, to society. Promoting mutual information sharing and bridging information disparities among companies to enhance the resilience of society as a whole is our unwavering commitment towards realizing our vision of "Making the world fair." We will continue to move forward with the aim of creating a future where all stakeholders can fairly obtain opportunities and continue legitimate activities.
