SK Infosec Creates Jobs for People with Disabilities in Cybersecurity Field

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] SK Infosec announced on the 15th that it will take the lead in employing people with disabilities.

SK Infosec is establishing a new "Internship Recruitment Program for People with Disabilities" in collaboration with the Seoul Employment Agency for the Disabled to train and hire people with disabilities who have growth potential.

This internship was created to provide stable jobs to people with disabilities who are experiencing difficulties in job searching due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Currently, about 25 people with disabilities are working at SK Infosec, and the company plans to hire about 30 more through the internship program.

The internship program is open to any person with a disability who has graduated or is expected to graduate from university, regardless of their major. Applicants are selected through a video interview process and then receive about two months of job training at the Seoul Employment Agency for the Disabled. They receive basic competency training such as report writing and presentation skills, as well as focused training in security monitoring fields including information security system operation and incident response.

SK Infosec views security monitoring as a field where people with disabilities can systematically improve their work skills. Security monitoring involves many long-term projects and allows for systematic learning of tasks such as threat monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis. After completing the training, applicants will be assigned to actual security monitoring projects for three months, and based on their job performance evaluation, they will be hired as full-time employees.

Kim Byung-moo, Head of Management Support/DT Promotion Headquarters at SK Infosec, said, "As an industry-leading company, SK Infosec is always striving to create quality jobs by promoting youth employment, operating a flexible autonomous work system, and complying with the 52-hour workweek." He added, "We will take the lead in creating a stable and non-discriminatory working environment in the cybersecurity field for people with disabilities who have potential."
