Economic security has become a defence problem for Japan’s government agencies, critical infrastructure operators and municipalities, and ECONOSEC JAPAN is where those organisations compare notes. Information Development, SimSpace’s partner in Japan, takes the stage on October 1 at the conference, which runs September 30 to October 1, with Kaima Honda of its National Security Solutions Division presenting on cyber exercises. The session introduces the SimSpace platform, already deployed across US government agencies, cyber forces and financial institutions, which builds virtual environments mirroring real networks and automatically reproduces current APT attack techniques alongside training content and skills assessment. For Japanese public and private teams, that means large-scale joint exercises where responders practise against the threats they will actually face.
