South Korea Unveils Plan to Combat AI-Driven Cyber Threats

By

South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT has unveiled an emergency action plan to shore up the private sector against AI-driven cybersecurity threats, according to a ministry release on Monday.

The ministry has established a cross-government coordination framework built around a new Vulnerability Management Center within the country's Korea Internet & Security Agency.

The plan was triggered by the Project Glasswing report released by Anthropic on May 23, which identified more than 16,000 vulnerabilities across participating companies' systems.

Under the framework, KISA will collect, analyze, and share vulnerability and patch information to around 28,000 companies across several industries.
