Deloitte Korea Launches "Cyber & Resilience Integrated Service Group"

Deloitte Korea announced on August 18 that it has launched the "Cyber & Resilience Integrated Service Group (One Cyber & Resilience)" by merging its cyber expert teams from both the Risk Advisory and Consulting divisions, marking the first such initiative in the domestic accounting and consulting industry. Cheolho Baek, Partner (Vice President) who leads the Risk, Regulation, and Forensic Division within Deloitte Anjin’s Risk Advisory, will serve as the leader of the newly established integrated service group.

Deloitte Korea provides top-tier consulting services in the field of cybersecurity, including compliance response, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing. The firm also operates the country’s largest "Digital Forensic Lab."

The launch of the Cyber & Resilience Integrated Service Group is a strategic move to consolidate cyber advisory capabilities that were previously dispersed across business divisions, and to proactively respond to the increasingly complex cyber threat landscape driven by the acceleration of digital transformation through AI, cloud, and smart factories.

In particular, as financial losses and legal or administrative risks from cyber incidents continue to grow, the group aims to provide integrated cyber advisory services that cover the entire process-from strategy development to assessment, improvement, operation, incident response, and recurrence prevention.

The integrated service group is focusing on the lack of "identification and monitoring systems," which has been identified as a major cause of recent domestic cyber incidents. The group plans to strengthen its practical service framework by going beyond consulting to include strategy development, implementation, and operation-such as building, operating, and monitoring (control) information security systems to minimize damage after cyber incidents.

The group also intends to actively respond to the rapidly emerging cyber advisory markets, with a particular focus on AI security, automotive security, Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), and Zero Trust. To this end, Deloitte Korea will aggressively introduce Deloitte’s globally proven cybersecurity models into the domestic market, present a new cybersecurity paradigm, and work closely with global experts.

Cheolho Baek stated, "Cyber incidents must now be recognized as disasters that can seriously undermine business continuity, not just as technical mishaps. We will establish a cycle-based system that organically connects pre- and post-incident response services, and actively support Korean companies in maintaining stable and sustainable business operations."
