Japan is one of the countries with highly developed information technology, so it is inevitable that it has to face many complex and diverse cybersecurity issues. To solve this problem, in 2001, Japan announced a national strategy on information technology, which included an information security policy. After many years of development and implementation, in 2010, Japan continued to introduce an information security strategy, then in 2013, a cybersecurity strategy, and in 2014, the Cybersecurity Basic Act was announced, making cybersecurity a national strategy and basic law. In addition, Japan has gradually institutionalized and standardized the development and implementation of information security issues. Domestically, Japan has developed policies and established enforcement agencies such as the National Security Commission, the Government Cybersecurity Center, and the Ministry of Defense Cybersecurity Team.
