that if you hold a management position,
you know a little about the subject you are responsible for, a medical team headed by a doctor would be a good example, so how did this happen? Yoshitaka
Sakurada, is Japan’s new cybersecurity minister, the 68-year-old
has been a member of the Japanese Parliament for a very long time, but was
appointed cybersecurity minister last month, His duties include overseeing cyber-defense
preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, during a question and answer session with Japan’s Lower
House cabinet committee, when asked about things like the power grid and
malware, the newly appointed cybersecurity minister seemed overwhelmed, and at
one point said that USB was “basically never used” in Japan’s nuclear power
stations, which led many to believe that he didn’t understand the technology at
all, most of his replies were met with laughter from the other politicians, but
no one actually expected him to casually admit that he had never even used a
computer before, “I don’t use computers because since I was 25 I have been in
a position of authority where secretaries and employees handle such tasks for
me,” Sakurada told the committee, according to the Japan Times, “I give instructions to my aide and so I
don’t punch into a computer myself, but I am confident our work is flawless.” well that's a relief then, Japans cybersecurity is in safe hands.
