[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] The Financial Security Institute announced that it plans to establish a financial security education plan within this year to train financial security personnel and will offer 71 related training courses for employees of financial companies.

According to the Financial Security Institute, the new security training courses will include specialized programs for digital and data innovation technology security. Specifically, nine new courses related to personal information protection, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber threats will be introduced.

Non-face-to-face and untact education infrastructure, considering the COVID-19 situation, will also be expanded. Methods such as "microlearning," which consists of short content covering core educational topics, and "flipped learning," where individuals complete online self-study in advance followed by offline practice and discussions, are being considered. Web seminars via online video conferencing systems are also planned.

The Financial Security Institute intends to continue operating customized training courses by employee level according to security education demand. As digital finance spreads throughout the financial industry, training on management and practical skills, security technologies, and certification acquisition will be provided according to employee tiers.

Kim Young-gi, President of the Financial Security Institute, stated, "With the changes in non-face-to-face and untact environments since last year, the ability to respond to the increasing security threats is essential," adding, "We will promptly identify education demands to ensure no setbacks in training security experts and continuously develop and provide educational courses."
