PRACTICE (Proactive Response Against Cyber-attacks
Through International Collaborative Exchange)
- The project has been implemented since the fiscal year 2011 with the aim of countering
and reducing the risks of cyber attacks (distributed denial of service attacks, malware
infection activities, etc.) which produce growing damages in recent years.
- We will internationally build a network to gather information related to cyber attacks and
malware, etc. through cooperation with Internet service providers and universities in
Japan and other countries, and collaborate with other countries to conduct research,
development, and field trial for technology that makes it possible to predict the occurrence
of cyber attacks and quickly respond to them.
- We will utilize international conferences (bilateral and multilateral) and call upon
organizations (Internet service providers, universities, etc.) of various countries to
collaborate in sharing information such as cyber attack monitoring data and analysis
results and in conducting research and development.

(Reference) Project overview
- The project will be implemented together with Telecom-ISAC Japan, which is an ISP association for
network security, NICT (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology), which is a
research organization, and partner companies, etc.
- Research and development for several elemental technologies is currently being conducted in order to
predict attacks. We are aiming to establish the technologies by 2015 and contribute to improvement of
abilities to quickly respond.

JASPER (Japan-ASEAN Security Partnership)
- This is a collaborative project between Japan and ASEAN aimed at strengthening
technical cooperation for network security between Japan and ASEAN
- JASPER is composed of PRACTICE and malware infection alert
- The launch of JASPER project was confirmed at the “ASEAN-Japan Ministerial Policy
Meeting on Cybersecurity Cooperation” that was held in September 2013.
