Tokyo Denki University is the first university organization to join the Japan Computer Security Incident Response Team Council (Nippon CSIRT Association).
CSIRT (CSIRT: Computer Security Incident Response Team) is a general term for organizations that deal with incidents related to computer security.We constantly collect and analyze incident-related information, vulnerability information, and attack precursor information, and carry out activities such as formulating response policies and procedures.In Japan, the Nippon CSIRT Association was established in March 2007.
Tokyo Denki University is holding a graduate school program "International Cyber Security Special Course" for the purpose of training cyber security specialists, and also has Professor Ryoichi Sasaki, who is an assistant to the Cabinet Cyber Security, as information on the Faculty of Science and Technology for Future Science. We are working on information security in education, research and management as an important management issue, such as welcoming us to the Department of Media.
By joining the council this time, while the factors of events that threaten system operation such as virus infection, unauthorized access, and information leakage are becoming more complicated and sophisticated, we will share information such as incident-related information and response methods. It is said that it will try to solve common problems.
In the future, we will set up a "TDU-CSIRT" that will serve as a contact point for information security measures.As a "security incident fire brigade" within the university, we will prevent the spread of damage caused by incidents and quickly recover, and cooperate with organizations and experts inside and outside the university to provide appropriate information and raise awareness of security enhancement within the university. go.
