New Cybersecurity Crisis Management Training for Executives

In today's hyper-connected world, cybersecurity threats are more prevalent than ever, especially in the financial sector. Recognizing the critical need for effective crisis management strategies, Hitachi Solutions Create, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is proud to announce the introduction of its latest training program: the Cybersecurity Crisis Management Training tailored specifically for executives working in financial institutions. This initiative is set to launch on December 23.

Enhancing Executive Judgment in Crisis Situations

The new training curriculum focuses on developing executive skills in three core areas:
1. Initial Response - Understanding immediate actions to take when a cyber threat emerges.
2. Accountability - Knowing how to communicate and report during a crisis efficiently.
3. Business Continuity - Ensuring that operations continue seamlessly despite disruptions.

This comprehensive program is designed to empower executives by providing practical skills and knowledge necessary to view cyber threats as serious business crises that require robust management approaches. It helps them fulfill their responsibilities to act decisively and maintain transparency during unexpected cyber incidents.

National Cybersecurity Promotion

The Cybersecurity Crisis Management Training aligns with the initiatives of Japan’s National Cyber Coordination Center, established in July 2025, which emphasizes the importance of integrating cybersecurity into the governance framework of critical infrastructure sectors. These sectors include communications, finance, power, and healthcare, among others. The training addresses the urgent need for organizations to prepare for a variety of threats - from natural disasters to cyber-attacks - ensuring they can respond effectively and recover swiftly.

Leveraging Industry Insights

Hitachi Solutions Create brings extensive experience in system operations for the financial sector, coupled with a thorough understanding of security regulations and compliance requirements that are unique to this industry. By combining these insights with its seasoned expertise in cybersecurity personnel development, the company is poised to offer a training program that meets the real-world challenges faced by financial institutions.

Feedback gathered from executives during the design process has directly influenced the program's approach, ensuring that it reflects the actual needs and expectations for practical cybersecurity responses at the executive level. This relevance is especially crucial as the frequency and severity of cyber attacks continue to escalate.

Future Development Plans

In addition to this financial sector-centric training, Hitachi Solutions Create plans to expand its offerings to include specialized programs for executives in other critical infrastructure domains, such as railways and energy. The overarching goal is to enhance overall cybersecurity capabilities across vital industries, ensuring not only the safety of individual organizations but the stability of their operations as a whole.

Expected Outcomes of the Training

This rigorous training program is expected to yield several benefits, including:

• - A comprehensive understanding of the Board’s responsibilities regarding cybersecurity as outlined by Japan’s Financial Services Agency, encompassing policy formulation, structuring, and annual evaluations.
• - Concrete skills for executives on how to take prompt actions and fulfill reporting duties during cyber incidents.
• - An acknowledgment of the necessity for cyber resilience management, blending governance structures with business continuity plans and incident response teams.
• - Guidelines for revisiting and refining organizational governance and reporting mechanisms.

Training Format and Customization Options

The training will be conducted in a seminar style, available both online and in-person, with sessions lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. Pricing will be determined based on factors like the number of participants and the training location, ensuring tailored solutions meet the specific needs of each organization.

Hitachi Solutions Create continues to leverage its extensive expertise in security training to assist organizations in enhancing their cybersecurity readiness effectively.
