Japonya’nın Siber Güvenlik Politikası

Year 2023, Issue: 52, 249 - 267, 27.12.2023

Abstract

Sürekli değişim ve dönüşüm geçiren bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri, avantajları yanında içerisinde büyük riskleri barındırarak, güvenlik tehditlerinin yaşanmasına sebebiyet vermektedir. Bu noktada sadece devletlerin değil aynı zamanda kurumların ve bireylerin karşı karşıya kaldığı siber saldırılar, dijital çağın kırılgan yapısına işaret etmekte ve siber güvenlik kavramına alan açmaktadır. Siber güvenlik, özellikle son yıllarda üzerinde çalışılan, politikalar ve/veya stratejiler geliştirilen, sadece teorik düzeyde değil pratik boyutta da ne gibi adımlar atılabileceğinin sorgulandığı ve daha da ileri gidilerek evrensel bir mekanizma oluşturulabilir mi? sorusuna cevap aranan popüler bir konuyu yansıtmaktadır. Siber güvenliğin sağlanması konusunun bu denli önem arz etmesi ekseninde Japonya’da dijital dünya kaynaklı tehditlere yönelik farkındalık taşımakta ve siber güvenliğe ilişkin politikalar geliştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Nitekim Japonya’nın bu alana ilişkin politikalarını geliştirilmesinde genel olarak her yıl milyonlarca siber saldırı yaşaması etkili olurken bu saldırıların özellikle Çin, Kuzey Kore ve Rusya kaynaklı olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu minvalden hareketle söz konusu çalışmada Japonya’nın siber güvenlik politikaları analiz edilmektedir. Ayrıca, betimsel analiz yöntemiyle oluşturulan ve Japonya’nın siber güvenliğinin sağlanmasına yönelik politikalarını inceleyen bu çalışma, elde edilen çıktılar üzerine tarihsel kurumsalcılık teorisi ve iş birliği modeli ekseninde bir okuma yapmaktadır.

The Cyber Security Policy of Japan

Abstract

Information and communication technologies, which are constantly changing and transforming, besides their advantages, contain great risks and pose security threats. At this point, the cyberattacks that not only states but also institutions and individuals face point to the fragile nature of the digital age and open up space for the concept of cyber security. Cybersecurity, especially in recent years, has become a popular topic on which policies and/or strategies have been developed, questioning what steps can be taken not only at the theoretical level but also at the practical level and seeking an answer to the question “Can a universal mechanism be created?” by going further. In line with the importance of providing cyber security, Japan is aware of the threats originating from the digital world and is trying to develop a policy regarding cyber security. As a matter of fact, the millions of cyberattacks experienced every year are effective in the development of Japan's policies in this field, while it is stated that these attacks especially originate from China, North Korea, and Russia. From this point of view, in this study, Japan's cyber security policies are analyzed. In addition, this study, which was created by descriptive analysis and examines the policies of Japan's cyber security, makes a reading on the outputs in the axis of historical institutionalism theory and cooperation model.
