"잇달은 해킹 사고...민관 구분 없을 정도로 공동 대응 해야"

Repeated hacking incidents...joint response required regardless of public or private sector

ZD Net Korea | Local Language | News | Nov. 20, 2025 | Cyber Attacks and Data Loss

This year has seen multiple high-profile cybersecurity breaches impacting major corporations such as SKT, KT, and Lotte Card, alongside numerous supply-chain attacks targeting partner firms to access larger companies’ data. The country also faces ongoing sophisticated cyberattacks from state actors like China and North Korea, aimed at government institutions and economic targets. Experts emphasize the need for a comprehensive inspection of the depth and nature of these cyber threats penetrating society.

At the 7th Cybersecurity Policy Forum on November 18, panelists concurred that current responses to breaches focus too heavily on individual security personnel and superficial measures, such as appointing CISOs or temporarily increasing budgets, without addressing systemic issues. They highlighted the necessity of transforming the entire cybersecurity ecosystem, advocating for revitalizing the information security market through broad investment and structural changes.

Security operations personnel voiced concerns that government and corporate security policies are often ineffective and poorly communicated, resulting in temporary fixes rather than sustained improvements. They stressed the importance of continuous security efforts and called for ongoing cooperation among private companies, government bodies, and investigative agencies to maintain a robust information security cycle.

Panelists agreed on strengthening coordinated frameworks across the public and private sectors, emphasizing the need for seamless sharing of breach data and attacker intelligence. Current decision-making processes exclude private sector involvement in crucial deliberations on security policies. Experts proposed eliminating the distinction between public and private sectors to facilitate real-time information sharing and joint responses, highlighting progress by the National Intelligence Service in sharing investigative tools as a positive step toward integrated cybersecurity efforts.
