Comments from Masaki Urushibara, President, BSI Japan

The Fourth Industrial Revolution differs from previous industrial revolutions in that technological innovations are advancing at a rapid pace. New business models are expected to emerge as a result of these technological innovations and advances in digital technology. At the same time, however, a major social issue is how to maintain a "security system" to protect information assets and gain trust.

We feel it is our mission to help organizations manage and protect their information assets and build a foundation for creating competitive organizations, as well as to train such personnel.

We are very pleased to understand that this accreditation is a recognition of the achievements and results of the training courses we have provided.

We hope that you will take advantage of our training courses to enhance your organizational capabilities and for the future careers of individuals.
