Session 1-A-2 | Active Cyber Defense: “Active Cyber Defense (ACD): Public-Private Cooperation and the Strategic Role of the Military”
With Japan’s formal decision to implement Active Cyber Defense (ACD), the nation’s cyber response framework has entered a new phase. 【Moderator】
LTC.(res) Hashimoto Go (Japan): The Organization for Cyber Defense Innovation 【Panelists】
Dr. Bernard Siman (Kingdom of Belgium): Egmont Royal Institute of International Relations Mr. David Song-Pehamberger (Austria): EU Hybrid COE Ms. Inga Žukauskienė (Lithuania): National Cyber Security Centre of Lithuania Mr. Jiro Minier (Germany): Deutsche Cyber-Sicherheitsorganisation |

| 15:00 ～16:30 |
Session 1-A-4 | Critical Infrastructure Protection: ”Ensuring the Protection and Resilience of Critical Infrastructure”
Critical infrastructure spans a variety of sectors, including information and communications, finance, transportation, and energy. Organizations operating within these sectors often face a difficult dilemma: even when there is a suspected malware-related incident, the potential impact of shutting down systems is so significant that immediate investigation and response may not be feasible. Furthermore, when the domestic supply chain is insufficient to meet all needs, there is often no choice but to rely on foreign-made products in critical infrastructure, introducing additional security risks. This session will explore how we should approach the protection of critical infrastructure and what measures are essential to ensure its resilience and security. 【Moderator】
【Panelists】
Mr. Christopher Michael Spirito (USA): Department of Energy, Idaho National Laboratory Dr. Krzysztof Łysek (Poland): Military Communication Institute Dr. Csaba Krasznay (Hungary): Ludovika University of Public Service Ms. Marlen Rein (Estonia): NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence |
| 17:00 ～18:30 |
Session 1-A-4 | Cognitive Warfare: “Defense in Narratives”
The role of narratives in security has grown rapidly in recent years. This shift stems from changes in the information environment and the ways people interact with and interpret information. Narratives are difficult to separate from political and cultural contexts; however, when addressed as a cyber-related issue, it is essential to first examine the technical and engineering aspects involved. This session will explore practical approaches to safeguarding the security value of narratives, particularly in relation to political and cultural activities. 【Moderator】

Session 2-A-2 | Space & Electromagnetic Warfare; “Reimagining Space as the Next Theater of Operations”
The risk of quantum computers breaking encryption will not wait 20 years for the practical quantum computers. The potential for harvest attacks to emerge as a genuine threat is a pressing concern that demands urgent attention. Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has been intensively studied for years, but there remain challenges to be addressed. Quantum key distribution networks (QKDN), including satellite quantum communication, will offer a solution for secure global-scale information infrastructure. The social deployment of QKDN allows us to simultaneously guarantee long-term security and low-latency communication. Coexistence of QKDN and PQC will facilitate the development of systems that leverage the strengths of both technologies. This session will discuss practical approaches to building a secure information infrastructure for the quantum era that integrates QKDN and PQC. 【Moderator】

Session 2-A-5 | Education: “Cyber Education Through the Lens of National Security”
Cyber threats encompass not only technical attacks but also cognitive and psychological manipulation. In particular, influence operations conducted via social media by authoritarian regimes pose a serious challenge to the foundations of democratic societies. This session explores how cyber education can contribute to safeguarding citizens against such threats through targeted educational initiatives and strategic awareness programs. 【Moderator】
