The United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of State (DOS), and Department of Energy (DOE) are proud to have supported the Japan–U.S. Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Week October 25-29, 2021.
Hosted by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Industrial Cyber Security Center of Excellence (ICSCoE) under the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA), the training brought together 40 operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) professionals from the Indo-Pacific region.
This was the fourth iteration of the Japan-U.S. ICS cybersecurity exercise, which aims to improve the security of critical cyber infrastructure in partner countries across the Indo-Pacific region. This year, experts from the European Union officially co-sponsored the event, making this the first “Japan-U.S.-EU Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Week for the Indo-Pacific Region.”
The weeklong training, held virtually, brought together OT and IT cybersecurity experts from critical infrastructure operators, national Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), and policy experts from relevant ministries and national authorities. Trainees represented the electricity, oil and gas, water, and construction sectors – some of the sectors most at risk of cyber attacks. They were joined by current trainees and graduates of the ICSCoE year-long “Core Human Resource Development Program.”
