Kim Byoung-hwan says plan to fully lift network separation rules will be announced soon
Kim Byoung-hwan (김병환), chairman of South Korea\'s Financial Services Commission, said he will soon flesh out and announce a plan to fully lift network separation for financial companies with sufficient AI and security capabilities. He said a closed security system centred on network separation has limits as AI-based cyber attacks become a reality. The commission has eased network separation rules since June for AI security tests and plans more flexibility, while also pursuing tougher accountability for hacking incidents and new legislation.

Cybersecurity race intensifies in AI era; defense automation seen as answer
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.
