Its a Japanese company and older than 20 years, such change takes time when your entire management is in their 60s or older...

That's not an excuse though. If you state publicy as a company that you will make changes, then it's not unreasonable to expect those changes to actually happen.

Japanese society is very old-fashioned, male dominated, hierarchical and “I’m older than you so that means I’m right”. Japan’s cybersecurity minister admitted a couple of years ago that he had never used a computer in his life. While I understand the frustration it is (unfortunately) not surprising that these changes do not happen in a timely fashion.

Then he has never been the victim of a cyber-attack!
