In July of last year, a system failure occurred due to a cyber attack at the container terminal at Nagoya Port, temporarily making it impossible to load and unload containers. In order to prevent such situations, "port transportation" was also added to the scope.
The system will begin operating from May. The government plans to submit a bill to amend the Economic Security Promotion Act as early as the current regular session of the Diet. It was decided that it would be done. The government can check the preparedness for attacks in advance, and depending on the results it can recommend or order companies to change the equipment they have installed.
