Greetings

Dr. Hiroshi Esaki, JNSA Chairman/AJCCA Vice ChairmanWith the advancement of digital transformation, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and ingenious than ever before, transcending national borders.
In response to the rapid expansion of cyber risks, at “The International Conference on ASEAN-JAPAN Cybersecurity Community (IC-AJCC)” hosted by NISC in October 2023, representatives from cybersecurity industry associations in ASEAN countries were invited to sign mutual MOUs and establish a coalition called the ASEAN Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA) consisting of eight ASEAN countries and Japan associations (Currently 10 countries).

On October 10 this year, JNSA, a member of AJCCA, will host the second “AJCCA Annual Conference in TOKYO 2025” in Tokyo as the host country association.
This event will invite top experts leading the field of cybersecurity in Japan and abroad to share their in-depth knowledge on the latest threat trends, risk management, and advanced countermeasure methods.
Through keynote speeches and panel discussions, we will provide practical and strategic information to participants from a wide range of fields, including industry, government agencies, and academic institutions.
It will be an important opportunity to strengthen cooperation among the ASEAN-JAPAN Cybersecurity Community and achieve sustainable cyber resilience. We look forward to your support.

Presentation Title：“Cybersecurity in MADE: Advancing AI-Driven Resilience for a Secure Digital Future”
Abstract：At the 2nd AJCCA Conference 2025 in Tokyo, the ASOCIO Chairman underscored cybersecurity as both the foundation and challenge for sustainable growth, digital transformation, and regional collaboration under ASOCIO’s MADE (Mapping ASOCIO Digital Economy) initiatives. While progress has been achieved in awareness, policies, ethics, and cooperation, significant gaps remain in standards, skills, and cross-border resilience. He highlighted the urgency of advancing AI-driven defenses, harmonized frameworks, and trusted supply chain security built on transparency. The Chairman called for action to build stronger Japan-ASEAN collaboration and foster collective commitments in building a secure, transparent digital highway that underpins a resilient and sustainable digital ecosystem for all.

Presentation Title：Beneath the Prompt: The Hidden Risks Powering GenAI
Abstract：As LLMs power more applications across industries, firmware and hardware security is now mission-critical. The attack surface has shifted downward, making AI infrastructure itself the new battleground. Securing GenAI involves both:
- Traditional cybersecurity controls (monitoring, patching, access controls)
- AI-specific governance frameworks (model integrity, supply chain verification)
The message is clear: securing the model is not enough-you must secure the machine it runs on. This talk will highlight the vulnerabilities in the infrastructure powering large language models (LLMs) and generative AI systems. It will focus on the hardware, firmware, and cloud components that support AI, revealing how these foundational layers are increasingly targeted by sophisticated attacks.

Presentation Title：AI vs. AI: From Injection Attacks to Guardrail Defenses and Ecosystem Resilience
Abstract：As enterprises adopt Large Language Models (LLMs), they also face new risks-from adversarial injections to systemic breaches. This session introduces a five-pillar framework for securing AI in practice:
1. XecART - to inject: adversarial red-team testing that uncovers hidden vulnerabilities in LLMs.
2. XecGuard - to guardrail: layered defenses that ensure safe, aligned, and domain-specific AI behavior.
3. XecArena - to educate: interactive training that builds workforce resilience against AI-driven threats.
4. Assume Breach - to detect and respond fast: AI-powered reconnaissance on the darkweb, rapid endpoint forensics, and privacy-friendly password audits to reduce IT obscurity and complexity.
5. Joint Defense - to collaborate and share: collectively exchanging the first wave of attack intelligence across Taiwan, Japan, and the wider Asian community.
Together, these AI-powered pillars-proactive testing, real-time safeguards, continuous education, rapid response, and collective defense-form a holistic strategy to secure AI systems and enterprise ecosystems, enabling safer and more resilient innovation.

Presentation Title：（TBC）
Abstract：In today’s environment, where information systems and control systems are closely integrated across various fields such as manufacturing and social infrastructure, it has become increasingly difficult to address security challenges with conventional, siloed measures based on host- or network-level protection. This presentation introduces efforts toward macro-level risk management using network data analysis techniques that span both information and control systems, as well as micro-level risk management at the level of individual software components.
