[Asia Economy Reporter Han Yeju] As LG Electronics strengthens its ESG management, it is taking steps to enhance the cybersecurity competitiveness of its partners.

LG Electronics announced on the 7th that it recently held the 'Cybersecurity Workshop 2022 for Win-Win Cooperation with Partners' at the Seocho R&D Campus located in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. About 50 LG Electronics partners attended the event, along with Kim Jeongsam, Director of the Ministry of Science and ICT, Shim Jaehong, Head of KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency), Kang Eunseong, Professor of Cybersecurity at Ewha Womans University, Um Wisang, Head of LG Electronics Software Engineering Research Institute, and other executives and employees.

On that day, LG Electronics presented cases of responding to international standards in the automotive sector and introduced its standard security development process (LG SDL: LG Secure Development Life cycle), which must be performed throughout the entire product lifecycle, including software development. It also showcased its self-developed cybersecurity diagnostic tools and open-source management tools.

LG Electronics judged that it is necessary to share various information such as cybersecurity management system enhancement plans and win-win strategies so that partners can strengthen supply chain security by acquiring cybersecurity competitiveness and proactively respond to regulations in countries around the world. Through this workshop, it is expected that measures to more safely protect various systems and servers using information and communication networks from diverse cyberattacks can be strengthened.

As the cybersecurity capabilities of LG Electronics' partners are enhanced, not only the partners but also LG Electronics' supply chain competitiveness will be further improved, which will ultimately have a positive impact on the products and services experienced by customers.

Um Wisang, Head of LG Electronics CTO Division Software Engineering Research Institute, said, "To further strengthen supply chain security between partners and LG Electronics, we will advance the cybersecurity management system throughout the entire product lifecycle, including software development."
