Dongshin University Operates Cyber Intrusion Response Expert Certification Program

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Students majoring in Convergence Information Security at the College of Energy Convergence, Dongshin University, are playing a significant role in nurturing high school students in Jeonnam region into 'cybersecurity experts.'

According to Dongshin University on the 23rd, Professor Kim Jong-min of the Convergence Information Security major and five students belonging to the department club 'Hokis' have been running a 'Cyber Incident Response Specialist Certification Program' for 15 students of the Hacking Security Department at Suncheon Electronics High School in Suncheon City, Jeonnam, for five weeks since last month.

They taught technical, physical, and administrative security measures to prepare for cyber threats, and provided one-on-one education divided into theory and practice on how to verify compliance with response procedures in case of an incident.

All 15 students who completed the training took the 'Cyber Incident Response Specialist Certification' exam, and 10 of them passed the final exam.

In January this year, the same program was operated for students of the Advanced Equipment Maintenance Department at Gwangju Geumpa Technical High School, resulting in 14 students passing the same certification exam. This is the first time high school students have passed this certification exam this year.

Dongshin University plans to continue expanding programs that can motivate high school students and assist them in career exploration.

Professor Lee Dong-hwi, who led this program, said, "Our university students were able to develop practical cybersecurity training skills, and high school students could improve their career planning and employment capabilities in the field of cyber hacking through this mutually beneficial program," adding, "We will expand the program so that more students can participate in the future."
