Abstract:
Digital Transformation has attracted attention as technologies such as big data, IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and robotics have progressed and the real and virtual worlds have been fused. Digital Transformation is also expected to be a fundamental technology contributing to Society 5.0, which has been proposed for creating new business models and realizing a super smart society in Japan.
However, as Digital Transformation becomes more important in technical infrastructure, the threat of cyber-crime is also becoming larger. Accordingly, information security is becoming more and more important. A representative set of information security guidelines is ISMS (Information Security Management System, ISO/IEC 27001). This ISMS stipulates that the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of information assets should be maintained in a well-balanced manner and continuous improvements be made.
Generally, many companies have established information security systems on the basis of this ISMS and are taking various countermeasures against threats, but security incidents have not yet decreased. As causes of this, the IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan) cites problems such as "emasculation of information security policy" and "chronic lack of information security personnel." In addition to conventional countermeasures, new information security management incorporating elements of the non-cyber environment, such as human psychology, and security investment are needed to solve these problems.
This keynote speech explains the new information security management paradigm against cyber-attacks that are increasingly intensifying and diversifying as technology progresses. Specifically, this keynote speech describes the necessity of new information security management that includes elements of the non-cyber environment such as psychological, economic, and physical aspects.
