OVERVIEW

Are we truly prepared for the escalating threats in an AI-first era
—where data utilization and security are under constant scrutiny?

From Tokyo to the World—

What is happening in Japan’s cyber domain, and what discussions are taking place? Cyber Initiative Tokyo 2025 will deliver the latest insights on cybersecurity from Tokyo to the rest of Japan—and beyond to the global stage. As nationalism continues to rise and divide regions, a parallel movement is gaining momentum: the pursuit of a sustainable society beyond 2030, one that ensures data security in the age of expanding artificial intelligence (AI). Private companies are expected to swiftly understand and respond to these international shifts, requiring what is often referred to as “intelligence.”

In Japan, the government is promoting the use of generative AI through legislation such as the AI Promotion Act, aiming to drive economic growth. While generative AI can be a powerful tool for enhancing organizational security, it also presents risks—particularly its potential exploitation by attackers—raising critical concerns about governance. In today’s world, understanding emerging technologies is essential to protecting both organizations and customers. As cyber incidents increasingly affect real-world activities—such as corporate operations and personal assets—how should society respond?

Cyber Initiative Tokyo 2025 will bring together thought leaders from various sectors to explore this urgent issue.

Day2: December 3, 2025
