South Korea’s government-backed security-specialised AI foundation model will target global frontier-level performance, using Naver Cloud’s HyperCLOVA X for defence and LG AI Research’s Exaone for attack functions. The plan uses adversarial co-training in a feedback loop between the two models. The project will train on about 830TB of security data and use 4,512 GPUs from the government and private sector. It will be linked to security agents and tested across seven key sectors.

Global solidarity key to counter AI-driven security threats, Naver Cloud chief says

Naver Cloud CEO Kim Yoo-won said AI-driven security threats can no longer be stopped by a single organisation and require global cooperation. Speaking at Cyber Summit Korea 2026 in Seoul, he said AI is shrinking the time from vulnerability discovery to attacks to minutes or hours. He cited deepfakes, sophisticated phishing, auto-generated malware and AI agents. He also outlined cooperation efforts involving NATO exercises, a U.N. body and industry initiatives.
