This is not only hilarious, but pretty concerning. Would someone who has never used a computer understand the damage that a simple phishing attack can do to an organization, let alone a government? Probably not. This reminds me of a CEO that doesn’t have a grasp of the kinds of cyber threats facing her company. If Japan’s head of cybersecurity has never used a company, he won’t even be able to understand the executive summaries that we write for our assignments in this class. Pretty alarming. Moreover, while some can claim that as long as he is good at operating the organization, he will do a good job. However, if he doesn’t even know what metrics to look for, how can he judge the success of Japan’s cybersecurity measures? My guess is that he can’t and will be replaced at the first sign of trouble.
