Comment from Professor Hideyuki Tokuda
I am greatly honored to receive such a prestigious award as the Information Security Culture Award. I am grateful that my achievements in research and education, as well as my contributions to information security policy, have been recognized, and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude once again to everyone I have worked with over the years. In my speech after receiving the award, I gave a lecture on "Cybersecurity for 2020." We are entering an era of IoT/IoE where various connected services will be created. I stated that on the creator side, it is crucial to practice "Security by Design," while on the user side, challenges include improving user literacy. I also emphasized that an international collaborative framework between industry, government, and academia is essential for enhancing the security of society as a whole.
