Nobuhiro Tsuji

▼ Reason for award (from JNSA)
◇Making a major contribution to the information security industry as a “one-man CSIRT”
As a "one-person CSIRT," he personally investigates information security incidents based on publicly available information and widely discloses the information on his blog. Actively disclosing information such as hash values and access destination IPs challenges the way security-related information is shared, and greatly contributes to improving security. http://csirt.ninja/


▼ Comments from award winners
There are many information sharing schemes in the world.
However, it seems to me that this is still not open to the public and is only practiced by a limited number of people.
Because I can't see that information either.
One day, it occurred to me that there are many security personnel in this world who feel the same way as me, and are worried about their loneliness.
I don't know their faces or their voices, but I decided to start this blog as the ``one-man CSIRT'' who received this award in hopes of being of some help.
I want a world where information is shared more widely and the security level of society as a whole is raised.
I will continue to work hard, have fun, and work hard to make this a reality.
