    ANALYSIS OF CYBERSECURITY INTEGRATION AND LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES IN JAPAN
    (Kyushu University, 2024-08-21) Aldhafeeire, Salman; Jiro, Hasumi
    This thesis analyzes Japan's national security strategy, which integrates cybersecurity and legislative strategies in response to evolving global cyber threats. The thesis emphasizes the growing importance of cybersecurity in an ever-evolving cyberspace, where state-sponsored cyber-attacks pose significant risks to national security, individual privacy, and economic stability. It explores Japan's proactive policies to cybersecurity integration, considering the interconnected nature of information warfare in the contemporary geopolitical landscape. Despite a historical aversion to militarization, the challenges posed by cyber threats necessitate a pragmatic response, resulting in the delicate balance between defending against cyber threats and upholding pacifist ideals. The research questions focus on understanding how Japan systematically integrates cybersecurity and information warfare measures, legislative frameworks, and proactive initiatives to fortify critical infrastructure and secure sensitive data. The literature review addresses the major policies and interventions by examining Japan's 2021 Cybersecurity Strategy, outlining the government's approach to addressing contemporary threats. The methodology employs a mixed research approach, incorporating document analysis and expert interviews of cybersecurity incidents. The analysis section will dissect secondary sources, resulting in a conclusion synthesizing key findings, academic contributions, and implications for policymakers, academics, and practitioners in cybersecurity and national security, aligning with the Cybersecurity Integration Framework (CIF) theoretical framework. The CIF model is used to assess the extent to which Japan's initiatives effectively reconcile pacifism and defensive cybersecurity measures and incorporates Pacifist Elements, Proactive Elements, Adaptability, and Integrated Analysis in its evaluation. The thesis contributes to a detailed understanding of Japan's cybersecurity strategies, highlighting the integration of information warfare, the impact of historical pacifism, and the effectiveness of legislative frameworks.
