"Game changers are satellite, cyber, electromagnetic waves, unmanned, extreme superfluated weapons"
On September 17, 2021, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) presidential election was announced.Taro Kono Reform Minister, Former Chairman Fumio Kishida, former Minister of Sanae Takaichi, and Secretary -General Seiko Noda reported their candidates and gave a speech speech with four people.
At the finding speech, Takaichi was appealing to strengthening cyber security measures.Mr. Takaichi has long been in his own columns on the importance of cyber security from the viewpoint of security, and emphasized its importance in his riding conference.
Mr. Takaichi mentioned the following with a dignified expression and a clear word about cyber security at the finding speech.
The ultimate mission of the country is to protect the lives and property of the people.We believe that it is to protect territory, territorial waters, airspace, resources, and to protect the sovereign and honor of the nation.(Omitted)
We will describe the strengthening of the threats related to economic security and national defense.In addition, to establish a comprehensive economic and security comprehensive law to prevent the outflow of personal information, advanced technology, important supplies, and personal information, and to develop laws that enable screening secret patents and certain foreign researchers.Consider.
We will work to revise the Japan Coast Guard Law so that it can respond to the Chinese Maritime Police Law in February this year.We will also build a national defense system that can respond to the form of a new war.This game changer is considered a satellite, cyber, electromagnetic waves, unmanned and extremely super -speed weapons.Increasing enemy bases is a very difficult initiative, but we will develop a legal system to enable this, enhance training and equipment, increase defense -related budgets, and defend submarine cables and satellites.increase.(Omitted)
Investments with a major financial dispatch in my policy are bold crisis management and growth investment.Here are some examples of crisis management investments that should be started in a hurry, gathering the power of industry -academia.(Omitted) Now, it is a cyber attack from overseas source to Japan, but at the time of the lower house election four years ago, it was an average of 390 million times a day.In the year of last year, cyber attacks from overseas to Japan an average of 1,366 million times a day.In order to protect the precious lives and property of the people, I hurry to establish a cyber defense system in the field of medical, air, railway, electricity, gas, water, finance, and credit.In addition, we will hurry and social implementation of quantum cryptocation communication that can exchange information safely.And the development of altitude security human resources is above all.
In addition, power consumption increases due to the progress of digitalization.It is predicted that it will be about 30 times in 2030.It is very important to promote power -saving research and establish a stable supply system for electricity, so we will start immediately.(Omitted) These create wealth and employment in Japan.And with the development of services to other countries with the same troubles, it will also be a growth investment.We will provide effective use of technical results, develop human resources, and strengthen international competitiveness.(Omitted) I would like to develop domestic quantum computers that meet Japanese needs in terms of economic security.
We are also considering the establishment of the Ministry of Information and Communications, which has a cyber security Agency for foreign officials, and the establishment of the Foreign Investment Committee on Japan from the viewpoint of economic security.
(From Mr. Sanae Takaichi at the Liberal Democratic Party's presidential election speech)
At a joint press conference, Takaichi said about the Economic and Security Comprehensive Law as follows.
For example, I think that China is now developing, or the development, but the heat -resistant material used in the extreme speed weapons, the Scrum Jet Engine technology, is a Chinese researcher in Japan.And I am studying Japanese Kenken expenses.Returning to China, there have been examples of such technological development.Here is the biggest reason that requires the Economic and security comprehensive law.A legal system is required to screen foreign researchers and well -established secret patents to prevent this from happening.
(Mr. Sanae Takaichi's remark at a joint press conference after the Metropolitan Press)
The importance of security in cyber space
As with the real security of the nation, cyber security is also important in national security.Cyber -attack information is a crisis in economic security, and is very dangerous in national security if blackouts or nuclear accidents due to attacking important infrastructure occur.
And in cyber attacks, the attacker is overwhelmingly dominant and strong.Cyber attack finds the vulnerability of the opponent's system and launches an attack from there.When you are attacking your opponent, you can find and correct similar vulnerabilities in your system.Cyber attacks are also effective for cyber defense, and in cyber space, "attack is the biggest defense."
Furthermore, when a cyber attack is attacked, counterattacking in realistic economy and financial sanctions can be deterred."Doctes" and "deterrence" are the basis of international politics and security, especially in great powers.You need a dialogue before the deterrent.It is still good while cyber security goes up to the table between the nation as a issue and a dialogue is being held.They are conscious of each other's cyber attack from the other side, and are dating for the purpose of checking.There is also a deterrent effect.However, in the United States, for example, the Chinese government closed the Houston Consulate -General in July 2020, without stopping dialogue on cyber security and the prosecution of Chinese suspects.The U.S. government closed the US Consulate -General in Chengdu, Sichuan Province as a countermeasure, and was in danger.
Also, maintaining and strengthening cyber space security cannot be done alone.I don't know where the cyber attack comes from.It is natural to strengthen your country's cyber space, but even if you strengthen your country alone, you may be invaded by stepping on allies and other countries that are more closely connected by the network.For this reason, do not create a "weak ring" in cyber space among allies, which are related to security cooperation.
Cyber alliance between countries that share the same values and have equivalent abilities is very important.Cyber alliance among nations with high cyber security abilities leads to strengthening defense and deterrent capabilities against potential enemy and groups.What is important in the defense alliance is security for external threats, both real and cyber.
Therefore, while cooperating with multilateral, it is necessary to increase the network, exchange information on cyber attack measures, and exchange human resources.It is important not only to exchange information on malware information and cyber attack countermeasures, but also to conduct public discussions in normal times because it leads to trust.
