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.
