The government has required all independent administrative agencies and government-designated entities that handle personal information to consider security risks when procuring critical communications equipment. As a result, it is expected that China's telecommunications giant "Huawei" will be further eliminated.

As a measure against information leakage due to cyber attacks, the government revised last year's guidelines when ministries and agencies procured important communication equipment, and evaluated not only price but also security risk. We are effectively eliminating the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

To further strengthen these measures, consider security risks when procuring important communication equipment for all independent administrative agencies and government-designated corporations that handle personal information, as well as government ministries and agencies. I was asked to.

The specific targets are 87 independent administrative corporations such as Japan Atomic Energy Agency and 9 corporations designated by the government such as Japan Pension Service, for a total of 96 corporations.

The government is planning to apply the new guidelines to related ministries and agencies next month, and it is expected that the elimination of "Huawei" will be further promoted.
