SK Shieldus said on May 11 it will run a “Security Capability Enhancement Using Generative AI” training program for corporate security practitioners in South Korea, considering rising security threats as generative AI spreads.

SK Shieldus said the program will focus on hands-on training to automate repetitive and large volumes of security data with AI, aiming to improve workplace efficiency.

The course consists of security data processing, vulnerability diagnosis and analysis, and intrusion incident detection and response.

The training will be run in a problem-based learning (PBL) format that reflects real cyberattack response processes. Trainees will use the SK Shieldus EQST penetration-testing environment and generative AI tools such as ChatGPT to carry out the full process, from analysing attack scenarios to establishing response strategies and drafting outcome reports, to strengthen practical response experience.

An SK Shieldus official said, “In an era when AI-enabled cyberattacks are becoming routine, security is a task that the entire industry must address together beyond individual companies.” The official added, “We hope this training will raise practical capabilities to prepare for generative AI security threats and serve as an opportunity to enhance response capabilities across South Korea’s overall cybersecurity ecosystem.”
