This page summarizes Minister Matsumoto's press conference on April 3, 2026. It reports on enhanced personal verification using My Number Cards, noting that amendments to telecommunications fraud prevention and cybercrime legislation eliminated identity document copies, replacing them with IC chip information transmission. The integration of digital authentication apps and face-to-face verification apps will streamline identification processes. Additionally, the release of the Cybersecurity Personnel Framework 2026 aims to optimize personnel allocation across government and private sectors by identifying appropriate roles and skill levels for cybersecurity professionals, benefiting large enterprises, SMEs, and educational institutions.
