‘Cyber Threat’ Lecture Room Visited by NIS... Yeungnam Institute of Technology Strengthens Practical Response Capabilities

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The National Intelligence Service appeared in the university classroom. Since the class dealt with practical situations, an expert in the field was needed.

Yeongnam Institute of Technology recently announced on the 12th that it conducted practical training to strengthen cyber threat response capabilities for public institutions in collaboration with the National Intelligence Service.

The training held at the Cybersecurity School Security Control Center targeted 31 cybersecurity officers from 17 organizations, including the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and Korea Electric Power Technology, covering techniques for collecting and analyzing information on various cyber threats.

The curriculum consisted of practical cybersecurity content necessary for preventing and responding to hacker intrusions through security vulnerabilities.

In particular, this training improved educational accessibility through collaboration between regional universities and public institutions, responding to the increased demand in the cybersecurity field due to the recent surge in remote work and online classes.

By analyzing the educational needs of public institutions in advance, the program was designed as a customized and practical training that can be applied in the field, enhancing learner satisfaction.

Lee Jong-rak, head of the Cybersecurity School, said, “The core of cyber threat response is cultivating cyber professionals, and since public institutions often have frequent personnel changes due to rotational assignments, regular training is necessary. We will strive to strengthen cybersecurity in public institutions through organic cooperation with the National Intelligence Service and cybersecurity education.”

Yeongnam Institute of Technology’s Cybersecurity School was first established in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in 2014. Starting this year, it has introduced a major in AI security and is nurturing information security talents equipped with practical skills by utilizing the Security Control Center, which enables training in detection, analysis, and defense against cyberattacks.
