Sasha Baker, Head of National Security Policy at OpenAI, who participated in the workshop, explained the Trust-based Cyber Approach Program (TAC) to government officials. She also demonstrated key cybersecurity features of the latest AI models and discussed mutual cooperation in the field of AI security.

TAC is a cybersecurity program operated by OpenAI, granting authorized access for security work to verified enterprise customers and security experts. Within the TAC environment, users can perform security-related work for defensive purposes, such as vulnerability detection and analysis, as well as malware analysis.

The Ministry of Science and ICT requested information sharing and cooperation from OpenAI to respond to AI security threats. Both parties plan to continue practical discussions on the application of AI models in the cybersecurity sector, building on this meeting.

Sasha Baker, Head of National Security Policy at OpenAI, emphasized, "Close collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential for effectively responding to cyber threats in the AI era. When governments, corporations, infrastructure operators, research institutions, and AI companies work together with a shared sense of responsibility, we can utilize AI safely and strengthen cyber resilience."

Choi Woohyeok, Director of Information Security Network Policy at the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, "Through this workshop and meeting, there was a consensus that AI should serve as a tool for defenders rather than attackers, and that close cooperation between the public and private sectors is necessary to respond to AI security threats. The Ministry of Science and ICT will continue to strengthen domestic AI security capabilities through active collaboration and practical discussions with global AI companies."
