WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sasakawa USA released a report today in English and Japanese on its recent "tabletop exercise" in 
Tokyo, which simulated a major cyberattack during the 2019 World Rugby Cup to be hosted in Japan. "Operation Rugby 
Daemon" (「ラグビー・デーモン作戦」:サイバーセキュリティ机上演習（TTX), was unveiled at the 13th Annual U.S.-Japan Critical Infrastructure 
Protection (CIP) Forum in Washington, D.C., and offers insights into the state of preparedness of Japanese stakeholders 
in the face of a large scale cyberattack. At the U.S.-Japan CIP, which brings together government and private sector 
leaders from both sides for off-the-record discussions, audience members listened to exercise participants provide 
details about a series of simulated attacks on the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the players' responses, and recommendations 
for future protocols and procedures that government and the private sector should implement immediately.  

The tabletop exercise highlighted the tremendous need for international collaboration to prepare for and respond to 
cyber attacks.The exercise showcased the strength and importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance and the need for countries 
to work together to counter this risk.

Sasakawa USA sponsored the simulation as part of the Cyber3 Conference, a 2-day event on cybersecurity jointly held 
with the Prime Minister's Office, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, and Keio University at the 5th International Cybersecurity 
Symposium held at Keio's Mita campus on October 5-6.
