Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (JPCERT/CC) andKorea Internet Security Center (KrCERT/CC), the Parties confirmed that, overthe years, they have successfully prevented unnecessary escalation of crises
relating to the management of hacking and other critical events concerning
China, Japan and Korea. The 24/7 technical hotline among the Parties wasalso evaluated to have functioned to improve the transparency of ever-changing
situations in times of critical incidents.
Cooperative activities among CERTs/CSIRTs as a part of confidence-building
measures (CBM), have recently initiated in other regions as well (as observed
between the Russian Federation and United States). The Parties welcomed
these initiatives and increased efforts taken on risk reduction in other regions,and reconfirmed their role and intention to continue building best practices

Mr. HUANG Chengqing, Director General of CNCERT/CC and the host of themeeting, expressed that, “The security of cyberspace is a global problem that
requires international cooperation to deal with jointly. Our three Parties havealready done a lot of work in the network security field. I hope we can enhance
our daily contact and information sharing to strengthen the coordination ofcross-border incident handling, carry out the comprehensive management ofnetwork security environment, explore effective countermeasures and security
technologies, and raise awareness of cybersecurity.”
Mr. Kazumasa UTASHIRO, Board Chairman of JPCERT/CC, remarked that,“We can further improve our joint capability by leading an effort to measure thescale/impact of how this kind of collaboration can reduce risks, and by providing
an example of how this can be implemented among all nations.”
Mr. Jae Il LEE, Head of KrCERT/CC, stated that, “As recent Internet incidents
occur across borders, handling incidents by a single nation’s effort is getting
difficult. Within the environmental changes, we jointly recognized that
CERTs/CSIRTs have the important role to achieve a safer and more reliable
Internet environment through this collaboration, and I hope to make the bestpractice through our three Parties’ joint incident response in the future,” andexpressed KrCERT/CC’s willingness to consider hosting the next meeting inKorea.
