Generally It Is A Given,

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.
