United in the Fight Against Technological Threats: The Disruptive Technology Protection Network’s Inaugural Summit

The Disruptive Technology Protection Network recently held its inaugural high-level trilateral summit, with delegations from Japan and the Republic of Korea in attendance. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco set the tone for the event by discussing the importance of preventing critical technologies from falling into the wrong hands.

Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew G. Olsen and other senior government officials followed Monaco’s remarks by underscoring the collaborative efforts being made to safeguard disruptive technologies. The summit provided an opportunity for meaningful discussions on enhancing cooperation and information sharing among the three countries in their efforts to protect vital technological advancements.

The exchanges during the summit aimed to strengthen collective strategies for mitigating these risks and ensuring that innovation continues to drive progress in a secure and responsible manner.

The participation of Japan and the Republic of Korea in this landmark event demonstrated their shared commitment to upholding global technological security through proactive measures aimed at safeguarding critical technologies and preventing their misuse by those who seek to undermine international stability.
