The Future of Cyber Banking in Japan
Internet banking services, backed by the made-in-Japan SECE security protocol, are taking off in Japan. But whether the flight will be a
smooth one for the Japanese economy depends on whether Japan's financial institutions willingly take the pilot's seat or are content to just
go along for the ride.

The Cashless Society
The Japanese economy is awash in cash -- wads and wads of paper money -- and cash is deeply ingrained in the culture and customs of Japan.
Just how far the Japanese will go in giving up the tactile and emotive experience of handling shihei is yet to be seen. But if a
large cybercash experiment now taking place in Japan is successful, the sun may be rising on a new cashless society.

Connect with Confidence
The Internet provides connections from your company to the world...and from the world to your company network. Unlike the physical world, there are no "good neighborhoods" on the Internet, no safe havens and no places where a potential attacker cannot at least see your front door.
