| Cyber Attack: Urgent Demand for Protecting our Infrastructure. |
Abstract
In the last decade, the Internet has been drastically
evolved to our critical infrastructure that supports various kinds of
activities in our daily life. As arising lots of threats against confidence
to the Internet in terms of security, there has been quite strong and urgent
demand on protecting the infrastructure more securely. Of course, many
research groups and standardization bodies are working very hard to develop
security technology and engineering in the area of “network security.”
However, as many areas of economies depend on this infrastructure, practical
and well designed strategy and tactics have to be deployed to bring
solutions that can cover operations of network services and also help much
on governance of the infrastructure itself. In Japan, many organizations are
working very hard on network security issues, however, with our experiences
on multiple year operation of JPCERT/CC as our national CSIRT and organizing
various activities working with our government and other Internet related
organizations such as JPNIC as RIR, more harmonized activities should be
coordinated. In this collaboration, common methods such as information
sharing among those who are working in this network security area are highly
required and this is the area where standardization bodies have to work
more.
