| Abstract: | The third article of this series deals with some of the IT security matters currently preoccupying companies in Japan. With the much-talked about economic crisis affecting the Far East it is likely that concern with legal infringements such as viruses, hacking, fraud and Net security will be taking second place. However, industry observers have already pointed out that this is when companies are at their most vulnerable. Conversely, desperate for survival, others may turn to less legal ways of sustaining their cash flow. In this article we try to put things in topical perspective as we see how Japan and its fellow SE Asian countries are struggling to reach a decision over control of the Internet. |
