Japan has enacted the Active Cyberdefense Law, allowing for preemptive offensive cyber operations against adversaries. Targeted at modernizing its cyber defense capabilities to align with major Western nations, the law represents a notable shift from Japan's historical adherence to pacifism as outlined in Article 9 of its constitution. The legislation follows recent amendments that enable Japan's Self-Defense Forces to support allies, reflecting a fundamental change in how Japan perceives and responds to cyber threats in a more aggressive and proactive manner.
The new Active Cyberdefense Law permits Japan to engage in offensive cyber operations against adversaries, marking a significant shift from its traditional pacifist stance.
This law is a response to evolving global cyber threats and seeks to bolster Japan's defenses to the level of major Western powers.
