Cyber forum set for November 27, 2026, with Ebara and DNP

The forum's program is organized around a single question the keynote poses: why businesses still stop even when they have taken countermeasures, framed as a management judgment call in the AI era. The sessions that follow take that question into specific settings — Ebara addresses how a manufacturer builds a global security strategy that keeps operations running, while Dai Nippon Printing describes security operations that assume an attack will happen and use AI. A UCC Japan talk looks at the security foundation behind AI and data use, and a Mitsubishi Foods segment covers the role of a distribution-sector ISAC (an industry information-sharing body) alongside the company's own measures.

The forum also brings a management-level perspective through an interview-style session with Takayuki Sugiura of the Japan Hacker Association and Akiko Murakami of the AI Safety Institute, who also serves as group Chief Data Officer at SOMPO Holdings. Separately, cybersecurity expert Fumikazu Okuno discusses the "Three-ZERO" survival strategy and the first move to make toward 2035. A session asking how far cyberattack and defense will be carried by AI by 2027 rounds out the day, suggesting the program is meant to pair board-level risk awareness with concrete operational practice.
