Titled “HUMAN-ERROR TRAPS,” the manga contains about 40 pages and is being offered as a .pdf file for free via the promotion’s offcial website.

In a world where cyber-attacks are increasing, Ghost in the Shell truly fits the bill as the anime of choice.

The National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC) is a new organization in Japan, which was just created earlier this month to strengthen measures against computer attacks. The “Cyber Security Awareness Month” is just part of the organization’s campaign to protect people from such cyber attacks by spreading awareness and knowing how to deal with them. The promotion also ties in with the Ghost in the Shell REALIZE project, which aims to bring the technology used in the SciFi classic to real life.
