"Digital Transformation Begins with Security in Contactless Services" Performance Sharing Meeting Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 30th that it will hold a ‘Non-face-to-face Service Security Pilot Project’ performance sharing meeting on the 2nd of next month and demonstrate five outcomes that enhance the security performance of non-face-to-face services, a representative task of the Korean New Deal.

The Non-face-to-face Service Security Pilot Project is a pilot project that embeds security in the development stage of non-face-to-face services such as non-face-to-face medical care, education, work, and distribution payment to prevent direct damage from cyber security threats to the public. It was launched for the first time this year.

At this performance sharing meeting, under the theme of ‘The Present and Future of Non-face-to-face Service Security in the Post-Corona Era,’ there will be ▲observation demonstrations and ▲conferences of five non-face-to-face services being verified on-site by demand institutions.

The non-face-to-face medical service strengthens security with three-step identity verification and tampering prevention to ensure that patients with mobility difficulties (patients with severe diseases, rare diseases) can comfortably receive outpatient treatment after discharge without medical treatment or prescriptions under someone else’s name.

The non-face-to-face work service performs real-time AI vulnerability checks on connected devices and files to immediately prevent hacking or malware infection during remote work. The non-face-to-face education service prevents leakage of educational materials through cloud security and identity verification and provides VR practice content to improve the quality of education. The online distribution service enhances the security of delivery apps by applying simple payment and cloud transition to local government public delivery apps used by small business owners. Lastly, the non-face-to-face identity verification service allows foreign residents to protect their labor rights by electronically signing labor contracts and employment certificates.

Heo Seong-wook, Director of the Network Policy Office at the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, “We are strengthening security in digital and non-face-to-face services to support a safe digital transformation,” adding, “We will widely expand today’s achievements throughout the digital economy and support entry into the global market.”
