Financial Security Institute Launches 10th Financial Security Advanced Program for Executives

White-Hat Hackers and Security Experts Present Management Response Strategies

The Financial Security Institute announced on May 7 that the "10th Financial Security Advanced Program (FSP) for Executives in 2026," the only top-level digital finance and security program for executives in the financial sector, has commenced.

Since its inception in 2017, the Financial Security Advanced Program has produced more than 240 graduates, enhancing executives' expertise in digital financial security and providing a platform for inter-company information exchange and communication.

This year, the 10th Financial Security Advanced Program will run for 10 weeks, starting with the entrance ceremony held on this day. A total of 38 executives responsible for digital and information security within the financial sector and the information security industry are participating.

This year's program focuses on strengthening executives' expertise and broad perspective to respond to the rapidly changing digital financial environment, including hyper-advanced AI threats represented by Mythos. The delivery of practical insights by the nation's top experts is regarded as a distinctive strength of the program.

Notable speakers include Sejun Park, CEO of Theory, and Chanam Park, CEO of Stealien, both renowned white-hat hackers in Korea, as well as experts from leading AI companies and the Financial Security Institute. These lecturers will present actionable security strategies and management response plans.

The curriculum covers key issues facing financial executives, such as financial AI risk management and security frameworks, financial security from the attacker's perspective, and response strategies for the proliferation of stablecoins.

Sangwon Park, President of the Financial Security Institute, stated, "Just as the Mythos case uncovered vulnerabilities hidden for decades, the emergence of hyper-advanced AI has significantly strengthened attackers' capabilities. Security is now a core task that executives must address directly. By offering a differentiated curriculum, we will actively support financial leaders so they can proactively respond to changes in the internal and external financial environment and establish robust security governance."
