Information security executives from the holding company and 11 affiliates attended, along with Choi Seok-mun, a vice president who serves as the holding company’s compliance officer. Under the group’s information security operating guidelines, the council functions as a control tower for setting strategy, making decisions on key issues and 추진ing joint projects.
Participants discussed major security tasks for responding to the digital environment, including plans to establish a mid- to long-term group information security master plan, measures to advance the cyber security center’s operating performance and organizational structure, and the creation of a groupwide integrated security monitoring system.
The compliance officer also attended the session, where participants reviewed the annual business plan and strategies for responding to key regulations. Topics included compliance measures aligned with the enactment of the Digital Finance Safety Act and the implementation of the Framework Act on Artificial Intelligence. KB Financial said it will also prepare groupwide guidelines to address emerging threats such as data leaks and model bias.
KB Financial said a key feature of its information security organization is that it operates under the holding company’s compliance officer, aiming to balance strict controls with technology and strengthen responsibility for protecting customer information.
“While advances in AI technology are making financial services more convenient, the underlying security system must also become more sophisticated,” a KB Financial official said. The official said the group will seek “synergy” between compliance and security technology to provide customers with a safe financial environment that can withstand threats.
