This chapter studies how the significant cyberattacks perpetrated against the Japan Pension Services (JPS) served to heighten awareness of the significance of cyber threats among political and corporate executives. According to the Japanese cybersecurity strategy, cyberattacks constitute a global risk and remain a prime concern for the development of appropriate countermeasures. As a result, Japan has regarded the strengthening of cybersecurity as a priority and outlined this to the National Security Council in 2014. At present, information security institutions in Japan are chaperoned by the cybersecurity strategy headquarters, which aims to promote constructive and efficient cybersecurity policies. In addition, Japan has implemented its third action plan on information security for critical infrastructure and revised its cybersecurity strategy in 2015. By working in partnership with countries around the world, Japan pursues its own national security as well as the peace and stability of the international community. International cooperation and partnerships also contribute to the international campaign against cyberattacks, especially those in which foreign state actors may be implicated.
