As digitalization progresses and the role of communication as an infrastructure is increasing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has begun to consider concrete measures to minimize the impact of a communication failure.
With digitalization, communication is playing an increasingly important role as a social infrastructure, and there is concern that it will have a significant impact in the event of a failure due to a natural disaster or cyber attack.
For this reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will consider how to report and verify in order to prevent obstacles and minimize the impact of failures, and will hold the first meeting of the experts' meeting on the 11th. opened.
At the meeting, if a failure occurs, we will ask the telecommunications company etc. to report and discuss the scope of verification, and will we include signs that may lead to failure and conditions that make it difficult to connect to the net? We are planning to proceed with the examination.
In addition, in order to clarify the cause of the failure, we will consider establishing a system that allows companies other than telecommunications companies to request reports.
At the meeting, we plan to interview the telecommunications companies and summarize the measures by this summer.
