[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Students from the Department of Computer Software at Daegu Catholic University recently won the Excellence Award in the university division of the ‘3rd 2022 KOSPO Web Service Information Security Competition’ hosted by Korea Southern Power Co., Ltd.

The team ‘Nam to the Bu to the Baljeon,’ consisting of senior students Yoon Seong-ho, Heo Won-mu, Kang Min-song, and sophomore student Lee Ji-won, earned the honor by diagnosing web vulnerabilities through homepage web hacking and proposing security measures to resolve them.

Yoon Seong-ho, who participated in the competition, said, “I usually focus on finding homepage vulnerabilities with my club friends, so it was meaningful to have the opportunity to discover actual site vulnerabilities and suggest countermeasures.”

The ‘KOSPO Web Service Information Security Competition’ is held annually by Korea Southern Power to discover and nurture future cyber information security talents.

The competition tests cyber security skills by identifying vulnerabilities in a simulated replication system. This year, it was organized into university and youth divisions, with a total of 47 teams and 132 participants.
