It aims to deepen and broaden understanding of these objectives through discussions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>Since its inaugural meeting in 2018, CYDEF has consistently grown, attracting approximately 400 speakers and 6500 audience members over the past eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its ninth year, CYDEF2026 marks a significant shift in approach. Whereas session organization had previously been delegated to individual research institutes, this year we adopted a new direction: a program panel composed primarily of representatives from relevant ministries directly reviewed and selected the session themes. As a result, the program has evolved into a more practice-oriented forum that connects policy, research, and frontline operational realities.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, we aim to position CYDEF as a key hub for collaboration between industry, government and academia, both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/page_cydef2024_pic_w800-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<h3 class=\"contents_vertical_title\">Conference Features<\/h3>\n<div class=\"contents_vertical_area\">\n<div class=\"subtitle\">Invitation of experts from all over the world<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>As in previous years, we will invite distinguished figures in the field of cyber defense innovation, including government ministers, cyber ambassadors, cyber commanders, university researchers and corporate executives from various countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145\" src=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2025_day01.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"375\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"subtitle\" style=\"margin-top: 1.4em;\">Facilitating understanding through simultaneous Japanese-English subtitles<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>To assist those who are not proficient in Japanese, simultaneous Japanese-English subtitles are provided, enabling participants to follow the proceedings by listening to expert discussions that have been appropriately translated, including those on specialized fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-283\" src=\"https:\/\/2025.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03.png 421w, https:\/\/2026.cydef.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/img_cf2_03-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"committee\">CYDEF2026 Executive Committee<\/h2>\n<h3>Conference Chair<\/h3>\n<p>FUJII Akihiro (Professor, Department of Applied Informatics, Hosei University)<\/p>\n<h3><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Executive Committee Chair<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>IDE Tatsuo (Director, The Organization for Cyber Defense Innovation)<\/p>\n<h3>Committee Members<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"committee\">\n<li>TBD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Secretariat<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>CYDEF2026 Administrative Office (within Doshin EC Inc.)<br \/>\nEmail\uff1a<a href=\"mailto:cydef_secretariat@ec-mice.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cydef_secretariat@ec-mice.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are now accepting submissions for a symbol mark (logo) design.
