Hiroshi Alley - Japan’s Cybersecurity Landscape
Japan is one of the world’s most advanced and highly automated economies — and that makes it a prime target for cyber attackers.
In this episode of Cyber Dialogues, Hiroshi Eli, President of Palo Alto Networks Japan, joins host Brad Howarth to unpack the distinct cybersecurity challenges facing Japanese organizations — and why their approach has lessons for global enterprises.
You’ll hear how Japan’s heavy reliance on IoT, its aging population, and industry-specific automation all shape its cyber threat landscape — and how forward-thinking firms are responding.
Key takeaways include:
• Why cybersecurity has moved from the back office to the boardroom in Japan
• How language barriers and AI adoption create unique security concerns
• The role of education, policy, and even the Boy Scouts in national cyber awareness
• Why Japanese organizations are embracing platformization to simplify and strengthen security
• How AI is reshaping both cyber risk and defense strategies — and why the quality of data matters more than ever
Whether you’re managing cyber risk in Japan or looking to apply global best practices in your own organization, this episode offers sharp insights from the front lines of enterprise security.
