Young white hat hackers shared their journeys to becoming information security experts and their future plans, and proposed improvements to the training.
Kang Do-hyeon, Second Vice Minister of Science and ICT, who attended the meeting, said, "As cyber threats become more intelligent and sophisticated and cyber warfare between nations intensifies, white hat hackers have become a strategic national asset. We will closely examine whether trainees face any difficulties in the white hat hacker training process and improve the curriculum more systematically so that promising young people can grow into the world's best white hat hackers."
Yoo Jun-sang, President of KITRI, said, "Since starting BoB in 2012, we have established a step-by-step and systematic educational foundation through Cyber Guardians and Whitehat School. To foster high-quality white hat hackers who will lead the AI era, it is essential to improve training facilities, utilize domestic and international security solutions, and expand overseas through global cooperation. Active government investment and interest in fostering white hat hackers are required."
