Korea Federation of SMEs Seeks Security Solutions for SMEs Amid Cyber Threats

Seminar on Financial Security and SME Response Strategies Held

The Korea Federation of SMEs announced on May 21 that it held the "Financial Security and SME Response Strategy Seminar," sharing both policy and practical solutions to strengthen information security capabilities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This seminar was organized to explore practical response strategies for the SME sector, which has relatively weak security infrastructure, as awareness of cyber security is heightened in the wake of large-scale hacking incidents such as the recent SK Telecom USIM information leak.

The first session, titled "Digital Finance Environment Changes and Security Threat Trends," addressed the advanced security threat trends facing financial consumers and SMEs in the evolving digital finance environment.

The following session, "SME Information Security Response Strategies and Challenges," shared recent security incident cases and introduced SME-tailored information security strategies as well as the Korea Internet & Security Agency's support programs for SME information security.

Jung Woonyeol, Head of the Digital Innovation Division at the Korea Federation of SMEs, stated, "For SMEs, information security is not just a technological issue but a survival strategy," and added, "I hope this seminar serves as an opportunity for SMEs and small business owners to recognize the importance of information security and to actively utilize government support programs to establish their own information security strategies."
