Japan on Friday announced an emergency cybersecurity package that includes the use of artificial intelligence and cyber rescue teams after a wave of massive data breaches hit major companies and government agencies.
Japan has announced an emergency cybersecurity package that includes AI and cyber rescue teams. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi emphasized the need for a rapid response to potential attacks in the era of AI-generated threats. This announcement comes after a wave of data breaches hit major companies and government agencies. The package, worth 10 billion yen, aims to build a resilient society by sharing information and providing swift assistance. The government will enhance its capability to access servers used by hackers and deploy support teams for national security challenges. A "top gun" team of cybersecurity experts will be set up by the end of November.
