The 1st Gyeonggi Information Security Council Meeting of 2023 Held... Large Attendance of IT Experts

The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 14th that they held the '2023 1st Gyeonggi Information Security Council' at the Pangyo Information Security Cluster. Eleven related organizations, associations, companies including the Gyeonggi Venture Business Association and Gyeonggi Technopark, as well as IT experts attended.

This council has been operating since last year to develop information security support measures reflecting the characteristics of local and sector-specific fields, and to jointly promote information protection system publicity by establishing a hotline among practitioners. At this meeting, they introduced KISA projects such as specialized information security education and seminars, and on-site initial response support in case of security incidents; introduced small and medium enterprise support projects by participating organizations; and explored collaboration plans with support companies in the southern and northern regions of Gyeonggi for close regional projects. In addition, experts shared diverse opinions on information security policies and corporate support measures necessary in the digital transformation era.

Jo Junsang, head of the KISA Gyeonggi Information Protection Support Center, said, “Since Gyeonggi Province is a region where not only ICT companies but also general companies from various industries coexist, it is necessary to have a place to listen to the various information security-related difficulties experienced on-site by industry and to seek practical solutions.” He added, “KISA will continue to hold regular councils to actively identify and support the needs of companies and regions.”
