Government to set up 'rescue organization' to respond to rising cyberattacks (November 5, 2026)

The Japanese government plans to establish a new 'rescue organization' to respond to damage from a series of cyberattacks. The body will receive consultations from companies and other organizations, with public and private sector specialists providing support. Several government officials note that basic measures are often missing, such as known system vulnerabilities being left unaddressed. An emergency package to be announced at a ministerial meeting on the 6th is expected to include stricter response measures and stronger defenses using advanced AI.

• A new government rescue organization for cyberattack victims
• Public and private specialists support companies that seek help
• Officials point to unaddressed vulnerabilities and missing basic measures

サイバー攻撃が相次ぐなか、政府は被害に対応する「救援組織」を新設します。 　救援組織は企業などから相談を受けて官民の専門人材が対応を支援します。 　複数の政府関係者は事前に覚知していたシステムの脆弱（ぜいじゃく）性が放置されるなど、基本的な対策ができていないケースが目立つと指摘しています。 　政府が6日の関係閣僚会議で発表する緊急対策には、こうした対応の徹底や高性能AI（人工知能）を活用した防御策の強化などが盛り込まれる見通しです。 [テレ朝NEWS] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
