Invitation

To our respected information security experts,

 

On the threshold of autumn, we extend our deepest gratitude for the hard work of all officials dedicated to the advancement of information security. We sincerely hope you will grace the "Workshop on Information Security Education and Governance 2025," to be held on September 19, 2025, with your valuable presence.

 

This workshop, under the timely theme of "Security Governance and Skill-up Strategies in the AI Era," focuses on exploring deep insights and practical response measures for the new information security environment brought about by the explosive development of artificial intelligence technology. We believe that proactive preparation for the security threats that will inevitably accompany the infinite opportunities presented by AI is more crucial than ever.

 

In the workshop, we will start by examining the root causes of large-scale security incidents and engage in in-depth discussions on effective security governance promotion strategies. Furthermore, we will present concrete examples of how to effectively utilize commercial AI services in information security tasks, seeking ways to contribute to enhancing your work efficiency and professionalism.

 

Understanding the rapidly changing legal and institutional environment is also essential. Experts from major domestic law firms will participate to analyze the current state of domestic security governance laws and policies and provide profound insights into global security governance response strategies. Through this, you will be able to acquire the necessary knowledge to minimize legal compliance risks and establish a security system that conforms to global standards.

 

The importance of strengthening the individual capabilities of information security experts cannot be overstated. The policy and technology session for measuring information security competency will cover the current status and future of security certifications, directions for competency measurement to improve the education system, and proficiency-oriented evaluation strategies. In particular, a review of the US NICE Conference 2025 will provide an opportunity to analyze cybersecurity workforce development cases from advanced countries and gain new implications for domestic skill-up strategies.

 

Finally, the session on enterprise-wide security governance status analysis and strategy will discuss ways to enhance the overall security level of organizations through actual cases from major domestic institutions such as public and quasi-governmental agencies. We will also share strategies for responding to global security governance and skill-up demands, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in information security.

 

This workshop will provide the knowledge and insight needed to elevate your expertise and prepare for the future in a rapidly changing information security environment. We hope that despite your busy schedules, you will take the time to join us on September 19 for this meaningful event at the beginning of autumn, making it a valuable time to share wisdom for the advancement of information security.

Tae-Sung Kim, Chair of the Society for Information Security Education and Research / Society for Security Governance Research (Professor, Chungbuk National University)
