U.S. and Japan to Cooperate on Cybersecurity, Information Sharing


The United States and Japan have agreed to cooperate more closely on cybersecurity and information sharing initiatives as a way to help both countries defend against future threats and attacks.


The new initiative will include a variety of components, most notably cooperation during serious incidents, cooperation between the two countries’ cybersecurity and defense units, and information sharing programs. Both countries face threats from a variety of sources, to both private and government networks. The U.S. Department of Defense and Ministry of Defense in Japan said in a statement that the countries will build on an existing foundation of cooperation on information security.
