The Japanese government has adopted a revised draft cybersecurity strategy.
The revisiondraft strategy comes in the wake of a huge personal data breach in the Japan Pension Service, according to an article in the Japan Times.
The measure would apply to government-affiliated institutions. The National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity will now monitor independent administrative agencies and other government-linked organizations for cyberattacks. “The government plans to first put priority on monitoring organizations that handle huge volumes of personal data or diplomatic secrets, increasing the number of institutions under surveillance in stages,” the Japan Times said.
