CSSC s testbed is composed of 9-types of simulated plants and it is capable to organize cybersecurity hands-on exercises which simulate cyber attacks. CSSC has started its operation since April CSSC promotes R&D, International Standardization, making evaluation/certification platform (by utilizing IEC62443), capacity building (cyber exercises) and awareness raising. It also collaborates with distinguished organizations such as Tohoku-University and DHS. In April 2014, CSSC became a certification body of security certification called EDSA following the US (first in Asia). As confirmed by the MRA, certification in Japan becomes automatically certified in US. 14

16 Importance of Global Partnership in Cyber Space Cyberspace is recognized as global commons. International Laws are applicable to cyber space. International law, and in particular the Charter of the United Nations, is applicable and is essential to maintaining peace and stability and promoting an open, secure, peaceful and accessible ICT environment. (Source) UN General Assembly, Group of Governmental Experts on Development in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security (June 2013) Cybersecurity is one pillar of national security strategy. Internet freedom --- Free flow of information should be ensured. --- Excessive intervention by the government to cyber space should be avoided. 15

22 Policy Agenda on Cybersecurity towards 2020 The Defence in Depth system needs to be established to counter targeted attacks. Necessary measures have been promoted by the government agencies. Information sharing framework among critical infrastructure operators needs to be enhanced. International collaboration and human resources development aiming to strengthen information security of the Control System is necessary. Promoting utilization and application of the ICT in various fields, and strengthening its security are the two wheels of a cart. In particular the security standards in a cloud computing environment should be urgently clarified. Measures to ensure security across various fields in an IoT environment need to be considered. Security enhancement through global collaboration, such as strengthening the multinational frameworks including the UN and OECD, and bilateral policy discussions, is required. Preparation for the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 as a milestone for cybersecurity enhancement. 21

23 Towards Confidence Building in the World Voluntary confidence-building measures can promote trust and assurance and help reduce the risk of conflict by increasing predictability and reducing misperception. They can make an important contribution to addressing the concerns of States over the use of ICTs by States and could be a significant step towards greater international security. States should consider the development of practical confidence-building measures to help increase transparency, predictability and cooperation.
