The National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) of the Czech Republic and the National Cybersecurity Office of Japan (NCO) agreed to the Memorandum of Cooperation in the field of cybersecurity (the “Memorandum”) during the Prague Cyber Security Conference. The document was signed by Lukáš Kintr, Director of NÚKIB, and Yoichi Iida, National Cyber Director and Director of the NCO.
The Memorandum formalizes the excellent relationship between the two institutions and represents a significant step toward strengthening the resilience of both countries against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Both countries are thereby fulfilling their long-term commitments to cooperate closely on cybersecurity, while also reinforcing their international standing as reliable and proactive partners. The document contributes to greater resilience of institutions and critical infrastructure, opens the door to deeper expert dialogue, and enables a more effective response to malicious cyber activities.
“In a turbulent world, strong and trustworthy alliances built on shared values are more important than ever. Japan and the Czech Republic have much to offer each other as partners in cybersecurity, and I am truly pleased that we have solidified our cooperation through this memorandum,” said NÚKIB Director Lukáš Kintr.
Both countries face similar threats and threat actors, making it essential to stay one step ahead. The Memorandum serves as a key instrument for strengthening cooperation, particularly in the following areas:
exchange of information on cyber incidents, attacks, and threats,
sharing of best practices for incident response and system recovery,
joint exercises, training, and expert secondments,
cooperation in modern ICT technologies and supply chain security.
“An important role in developing bilateral relations has also been played by the position of the Cyber Attachée for the Indo Pacific region, to which Japan naturally belongs. Establishing this post has enabled longer term, more intensive, and more effective communication with our Japanese partners, which has significantly contributed to deepening mutual trust and cooperation—of which the signing of this Memorandum is a concrete result,” Kintr added.
