The government has established an organization to support the training of 100,000 cybersecurity talents.
The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Employment and Labor held the launch ceremony of the "Information Security Human Resources Development Committee (ISC)" on the 21st at the Pangyo Information Security Cluster in Gyeonggi-do.
The Information Security ISC is operated through the joint participation of a total of 29 institutions and companies active in the information security, personal information protection, and blockchain industries, centered on the Korea Information Security Industry Association (KISIA).
Going forward, it will play a role in analyzing the current status of industrial manpower, investigating and analyzing the required level and scale of professional personnel. It will also support education for cybersecurity talent development, such as adjusting manpower supply and demand and establishing or reorganizing curricula.
In particular, it is expected to systematically support the "Training of 100,000 Cybersecurity Talents," a key national task promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
Jung Sung-hwan, the full-time vice chairman of KISIA, was appointed as the inaugural chairman to oversee the operation of the working committee and each subcommittee.
