Cybersecurity’s evolving role in innovation and IT today

Cybersecurity is now synonymous with information technology (IT). IT has become pervasive in our daily lives in everything from healthcare to banking. Not only is IT ubiquitous, the innovation it breeds is increasingly disruptive and for every new application, service or solution, information security is now a must-have. Because society is networked to a degree beyond what many realize, the concept of “security by design” is mandatory from both a safety and trust perspective. It must also be implemented in a way that won’t sacrifice usability. Today’s digital strategy requires security to be integrated in a transparent manner so, at

Japan Inc gingerly embraces more foreigners

Originally posted: The Economist Big firms are putting non-Japanese on their boards MICHAEL WOODFORD, the first non-Japanese president of Olympus, likened the camera-maker’s board members who sacked him in 2011 to “children in a classroom”.

3 Strategic Necessities for the Growth of Cybersecurity

I believe that, in order for any economy – including Japan – to survive in the coming decade, governments must recognize that information and communications technologies (ICT) and cybersecurity are no longer separate issues, and they must take innovative approaches to address them concurrently. The technical aspects of cybersecurity make it complex and difficult even for professionals, much less policymakers, to grasp. However, the most critical elements needed to bolster cybersecurity are not technical, but strategic. Japan is placed uniquely on this issue. While we are preparing for the rapidly aging society and shrinking population, as well as the Tokyo

How Charles Lindbergh Can Save Japan (Part 2)

Read Part 1 Why Do We Need a J PRIZE? Aside from the obvious shortcomings of research funding in Japan, why can’t we just rely on domestic organizations to come up with intelligent, workable solutions to these problems? After all, Japan has produced several Nobel laureates in both physics and chemistry in just the past decade. Surely domestic research is up to the task of tackling any problems on the horizon? The short answer is: If the U.S., with more researchers, more labs, bigger budgets, and, frankly, higher-ranked research facilities than Japan, could achieve the goals of the X PRIZE,
