As artificial intelligence spreads and cyber threats grow, security systems should shift toward automation and self-reliance, speakers said at an Information Security Day event in Seoul. Korea University professor Sang-geun Lee said hacking could become routine by 2028 and that gaps in defense automation would widen differences in response capabilities. Other speakers warned AI itself is a new attack surface and called for AI governance, guardrails, logging and agent orchestration, while officials highlighted cooperation and recognition of security contributors.

South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT, the National Intelligence Service and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety held the 15th Information Security Day ceremony in Seoul on Tuesday. The event focused on presenting a vision for information security as high-performance AI spreads and cyber threats evolve. In a speech read on his behalf, President Lee Jae-myung stressed the growing importance of information security and pledged stronger inter-agency cooperation and support for AI-based security technologies.
