社会｜サイバー攻撃対策演習を実施 / Society | Conducting Cyber Attack Response Drills

Summary

The government will conduct its first tabletop exercise in collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan Government and major infrastructure operators to prepare for cyber attacks.

This exercise will simulate scenarios involving large-scale blackouts and transportation disruptions, and will confirm the system for collaboration between the public and private sectors in response. Given the increasing threat of cyber attacks from other countries, the aim is to assess the impact on logistics, communication, and healthcare facilities, and to strengthen preparedness against potential risks.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard the government is going to conduct drills to prepare for cyber attacks! That’s amazing!

Log: Yeah, I think it’s important to have these measures in place since the threat of cyber attacks is increasing.

Chako: But how do they conduct these drills?

Log: In the drills, they’ll simulate scenarios like large-scale power outages and traffic disruptions to see how the public and private sectors can work together.

Navi: These types of drills lead to a swift response in case a real situation arises. Especially considering the impact on logistics and medical facilities, being prepared in advance is essential.

Chako: I see, so being prepared is really important!

Admin’s Note

I believe that the recent drills conducted in preparation for the cyber attack represent an important step in addressing the risks faced by modern infrastructure. Especially in light of suspected attacks from other countries, it’s highly meaningful for the public and private sectors to work together to confirm their response strategies. As Chako said, preparedness is key. I hope to see more initiatives like this in the future.
