Call for Attention: Strengthen Cybersecurity Measures Based on the Recent Situation

February 23, 2022

Given the recent situation, the potential risk of cyber-attack is likely to increase. Therefore, METI urges business owners to further strengthen their cybersecurity efforts.

1. Overview

Given the recent situation, the potential risk of cyber-attack is likely to increase.
Each company / organization is requested to deepen its awareness of the threat of cyber-attacks and to strengthen its countermeasures under the leadership of management.
In addition, as overseas branches may also serve as a foothold for cyber-attacks on domestic critical systems, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) would like to ask you to implement security measures with specific support and instructions in the same way as domestic systems.

If you find any suspicious activity, please contact METI or security-related organizations immediately for early response.
