EU Institute in Japan, Kansai (EUIJ-Kansai) - EU Studies Institute in Tokyo (EUSI) - EUIJ-Kyushu - NECAInternational Symposium on“Cyber Security; Strategic Cooperation between Europe and Japan in the Security of Control Systems”
Existing control systems, such as manufacturing equipment, processing machines and devices in these systems, had not been in the pastconnected to public networks, and unlike personal computers for general use, they had not been affected by computer viruses. Therefore,
control systems had not been considered a target for cyber attacks. However, network connection has recently become necessary for thecontrol systems in order to ensure “visualization” and swift maintenance. Through the connection to outside networks, control systems enableremote maintenance of production facilities from outside and they are connected to information systems for production management. As aresult, it is no longer possible to say that control systems are “safe” in terms of security due to risk factors, such as information leakage andunauthorized operations, which result from shifting production facilities overseas and a higher mobility of personnel among production sites.
Because of this situation, the security of control systems has become a critical business issue. This symposium will introduce leading
initiatives of European and Japanese companies regarding improved security of control systems and protection of users’ assets. Speakers will
discuss the EU-Japan collaboration in this field and its future direction. The symposium will also examine ways to strengthen the internationalframework and to increase the awareness of users and business community.

the EU and Japan for the Development of Smart Community and the Safety of Electrical Control System in February 2013. The EU Institute in Japan, Kansai(EUIJ-Kansai), EU Studies Institute in Tokyo (EUSI Tokyo) and EUIJ Kyushu contribute to strengthening the EU-Japan relations by promoting education andacademic research on the EU and by disseminating EU-related information.
