| Summary/Abstract |
CYBERSECURITY1 as a component of information security and, more broadly, an element of the safe use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is an area where Japan has not made as much progress as one would have expected from such a technologically advanced country. For comparison, while Russia adopted its first information security doctrine in 2000 [3], Japan during that time dealt with information security and cybersecurity in separate documents that did not directly comprise a single strategic system. Those documents were the Basic Act on the Formation of an Advanced Information and Telecommunications Network Society [4], the e-Japan Strategy [5], and the e-Japan Strategy II [6].
