『サイバー空間の脅威に対する兵庫県官民合同プロジェクト』総会に参加 May.15.2015

On May 13, 2015, Japan and International Motion Picture Copyright Association (JIMCA) attended the plenary meeting of Hyogo Prefectural Government and Private Sectors’ Joint Project for Prevention Measures against Cyberspace Criminal Threats, in which the government and private sectors team up to tackle the issues occurring in cyberspace such as crimes using the internet.

Along with JIMCA, one of the constituent members, experts including the police, administrative agencies, college professors, and lawyers participated in this project. Stationed in the Cyber Crime Division of Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, the secretariat was established to assess both the actual situations and the issues occurring in cyberspace and for government and the private sector to jointly introduce measures through education and public awareness.

Three subcommittees, Information Sharing Measures Subcommittee, Education and Public Awareness Measures Subcommittee, and Environmental Measures Subcommittee, are set up within the project. As one of the initiatives for Information Sharing Measure Subcommittee, where JIMCA serves as a private sector representative organizer, Mr. Takashi Ajimura, Representative Director of JIMCA, reported that JIMCA produced and provided special educational plastic folders with the theme of “The Internet Rules to Protect Everyone” for children as well as junior and senior high school students.

These educational folders were provided to Japanese nationwide prefectural police via the National Police Agency, and via the Cyber Crime Division of Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, the folders will be distributed directly to children and students who attend the “The Cybercriminal Victimization Prevention Classes” conducted by the Cybercrime Prevention Center.
