- The national government will support industry-led initiatives aimed at promoting information sharing, reporting, and appropriate announcements within the supply chain, so that any risks that occur can be controlled by each actor with a broad view of the entire supply chain, including SMEs, overseas offices, and business partners. - The national government will build a mechanism for securing the reliability of supply chain components including devices, data, and services. In addition, we will advance the construction of a mechanism for detecting and protecting against attacks that impair the maintenance and reliability of traceability, with the aim of continually maintaining trust in these components on the supply chain. (ii) Ensuring safety and security in implementing new technologies and services including IoT and 5G - Amid the rapid proliferation of IoT, we will work to realize a safe and secure IoT environment by identifying devices that may be exploited to carry out cyberattacks and alerting consumers. In addition, we will engage in collaborative activities, formulate guidelines, share information, advance international standardization, and establish a system for addressing vulnerabilities, all with the aim of achieving secure IoT systems based on the concept of security by design. Furthermore, in terms of the use of IoT devices and systems, it will be necessary to combine cybersecurity measures with measures taken from a perspective of safety, so we will advance the use of a framework that meets the requirements for such a combination of safety and security. - We will promote the establishment of a mechanism for safeguarding the cybersecurity of national and local 5G networks, as well as the development, supply, and deployment of 5G systems that ensure cybersecurity. - We will establish a system for addressing vulnerabilities by formulating guidelines and codes of conduct for cybersecurity in new fields, including autonomous driving, drones, automated factories, smart cities, crypto assets, and the space industry. (2) Strengthening cooperation with new providers in cyberspace - Cyberspace is ceaselessly and advancingly changing and new providers of services in cyberspace are constantly appearing as ever-improving technologies and services continue to be implemented. Under such circumstances, the national government will always monitor the new technologies and services in cyberspace, analyze their mutual impact on the stakeholders in cyberspace and the severity of the impact, and create an environment where each stakeholder can take responsible steps to safeguard cybersecurity. - In particular, as cloud services are becoming an indispensable infrastructure in cyberspace, their users are facing difficulties which they cannot manage by themselves. For example, the users encounter unintended incidents due to cloud services’ improper settings and they sometimes 18
