Mr. Sanae Takaichi: The importance of security of security, "If you blackout with cyber attacks, Japan will not function."

"It is necessary to create a situation where the other country cannot fire a missile."

Liberal Democratic Party Chairman Sanae Sanae, President of Sanae Takaichi, appeared in the Nikkei Sunday Salon on BS Tele -Tokyo in December 2021 and talked about a wide range of themes.A video has been released under the title "Strengthening defense to China's threat response".

Among them, Mr. Takaichi talked about security in a clear tone as follows.

China and North Korea are threatening.We sail on territorial waters dignifiedly.Especially in the Southwest Islands, there are Chinese threats.After all, Japanese technology has been leaked.As a result, it has been used for extreme super -sound weapons.China is also focusing on the development of unmanned aircraft.

中国もロシアも衛星を破壊する実験に成功しています。サイバー攻撃も非常に非常に増えています。最悪の事態を想定すると、日本やアメリカの衛星が破壊され、海底ケーブルが切断され、またサイバー攻撃で変電所が攻撃されてブラックアウトになると日本の防衛そのものが動かなくなります。いかにこのような事態を防いでいくかの観点が重要です。

岸田首相が最近よく敵基地攻撃能力という言葉を使われます。私のイメージとしては、相手国に何か動きがあるからいきなりミサイルを撃ち込むというものではありません。日本にとっても衛星通信を妨害されて無効化されること、ジャミング（電波妨害）をかけられること、サイバー攻撃で無力化されることが脅威です。これからの日本もいきなり相手国の基地にミサイルを撃ち込むのではなく、むしろ兆候があった時に相手国の衛星を無力化したり、ジャミングをするなどして、精確に相手国のミサイルが発射できない、日本に向いて飛んでこない状況を作る必要があります。超高音速ミサイルは今の日本の技術と対空防衛では防げません。残念ながら一発目は着弾してしまいます。その後どうするかという議論になります。

また極超音速兵器には日本の優れた技術力である耐熱素材やジェットエンジンが使われています。中国人が日本の研究所や大学に入ってきて、中国に帰って極超音速兵器の開発を行っていることはインテリジェンス機関が把握しています。私たちが私たち自身の産業や暮らしを良くするために開発している技術が、私たちの身の危険を晒すことに悪用されては困ります。特許の公開も行き過ぎています。いくつかの分野で非公開にしていく必要があります。できるところから法制化していきます。

Importance of security in cyber space

Mr. Takaichi said in 2021 LDP presidential election, cyber security measures from the viewpoint of security, measures against extreme superfluated weapons, and economic security to avoid re -election technology overseas.He complained of importance.Takaichi always appealed to the need and importance of cyber security and economic security with a clear view of nation before his election.

As with the real security of the nation, cyber security is also important in national security.Cyber -attack information is a crisis in economic security, and is very dangerous in national security if blackouts or nuclear accidents due to attacking important infrastructure occur.

And in cyber attacks, the attacker is overwhelmingly dominant and strong.Cyber attack finds the vulnerability of the opponent's system and launches an attack from there.When you are attacking your opponent, you can find and correct similar vulnerabilities in your system.Cyber attacks are also effective for cyber defense, and in cyber space, "attack is the biggest defense."

Furthermore, when a cyber attack is attacked, counterattacking in realistic economy and financial sanctions can be deterred."Doctes" and "deterrence" are the basis of international politics and security, especially in great powers.You need a dialogue before the deterrent.It is still good while cyber security goes up to the table between the nation as a issue and a dialogue is being held.They are conscious of each other's cyber attack from the other side, and are dating for the purpose of checking.There is also a deterrent effect.However, in the United States, for example, the Chinese government closed the Houston Consulate -General in July 2020, without stopping dialogue on cyber security and the prosecution of Chinese suspects.The U.S. government closed the US Consulate -General in Chengdu, Sichuan Province as a countermeasure, and was in danger.

Also, maintaining and strengthening cyber space security cannot be done alone.I don't know where the cyber attack comes from.It is natural to strengthen your country's cyber space, but even if you strengthen your country alone, you may be invaded by stepping on allies and other countries that are more closely connected by the network.For this reason, do not create a "weak ring" in cyber space among allies, which are related to security cooperation.

Cyber alliance between countries that share the same values and have equivalent abilities is very important.Cyber alliance between nations with high cyber security abilities will lead to potentially enhanced defenses and deterrence on cyber attacks from potential enemy and groups.What is important in the defense alliance is security for external threats, both real and cyber.

Therefore, while cooperating with multilateral, it is necessary to increase the network, exchange information on cyber attack measures, and exchange human resources.It is important not only to exchange information on malware information and cyber attack countermeasures, but also to conduct public discussions in normal times because it leads to trust.

On September 27, 2021, a meeting of the Cyber Security Strategy Headquarters was held at the Prime Minister's Office.The next three years of the next cyber security strategy will be decided, and the "Cyber Security 2021 (annual report, 2021 year plan)" will be announced.He also appealed to the United States, India, Australia and Southeast Asian countries in cyber security.He also named China, Russia and North Korea for the first time as a threatening country that attacks Japan.Japan does not share the same values as these three countries.
