Preparedness to face challenges of data security:   
As we leverage technology to become a progressive, digitized society, security threats have become more serious and sophisticated, particularly cyber-attacks. Within this environment, we’re responsible for the protection of data, ICT service infrastructure and customers’ basic rights, freedoms, and information assets, as well as the provision of a sound foundation for the growth of the digital economy. 

When we put together our new medium-term management strategies in 2020, it was our mission to contribute to the building and development of a free, open, and safe ICT platform that will support the infrastructure of the digital economy. We also made it our vision to realize the digital transformation of both customers and NTT itself, and for that reason, we will be chosen by customers.

On the role of CISOs: 
The role of the CISO is highly relevant and very important already – with every new cybersecurity breach, the c-suite has become even more keen to hear from the CISO on the best security posture the organization must adopt. Now more than ever, CISOs are focused on ensuring that the security risks are prioritized, protocols and policies are followed, and cyber intelligence moves seamlessly throughout the organization. Businesses are looking to transform themselves and security is the first prerequisite to it. Developing a security program is imperative to being able to protect your business interests and your valuable assets, and CISO’s are the ones to turn to for it.
