解説

問 13

  • ア

    正解 The correct answer is ア, the Cybersecurity Basic Act. This law was enacted in 2014 to comprehensively and effectively promote national defensive measures against threats such as cyberattacks on information systems and information and communication networks that have become social infrastructure. It provides for the establishment of the Cybersecurity Strategy Headquarters as a government body that deliberates on and promotes the nation's basic policies and measures, which exactly matches the question's description of a law that establishes a government organization to effectively promote such measures.

  • Incorrectイ

    The Act on the Protection of Specially Designated Secrets designates important state information related to defense, diplomacy, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism as specially designated secrets and aims to prevent its leakage. It does not provide for defensive measures against cyberattacks or for establishing a government organization for that purpose.

  • Incorrectウ

    The Unfair Competition Prevention Act regulates unfair competitive acts between businesses, such as infringement of trade secrets and imitation of products or causing confusion. Its purpose differs from establishing a government organization to protect the information systems of social infrastructure.

  • Incorrectエ

    The My Number Act (Number Act) governs the operation and proper handling of the Individual Number (My Number) system, which identifies individuals in administrative procedures for social security, taxation, and disaster response. It is not a law that promotes defensive measures against threats to information and communication networks.

ここがポイント
  • The Cybersecurity Basic Act is the fundamental law for comprehensively promoting the nation's cybersecurity policy, and its defining feature is that it provides for the establishment of the Cybersecurity Strategy Headquarters as the command center.
  • The key point is whether you can distinguish the purposes of the easily confused laws: the Act on the Protection of Specially Designated Secrets = protecting classified information, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act = regulating trade secrets and imitation, and the My Number Act = the Individual Number system.
