Park Hong-geun, the Minister of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, stated on August 7, "In the era of AI, it is more important than ever to have proactive security response capabilities as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and advanced."
During his visit to the Korea Financial Information Service, Park assessed the operational stability of the Digital Budget Accounting System (dBrain) and the Integrated Management System for National Grants (eNaraDoum), while also reviewing personal data management and information security systems.
This visit was aimed at preventing potential disruptions and personal data leaks in the financial information system, which is a core foundation for national financial operations. Park checked the management status of the Personal Data Protection Center and the Cyber Safety Center.
He emphasized, "Since all processes of managing national finances, funded by taxpayers, are conducted through dBrain, its operational stability must never be compromised."
Park also urged that, given dBrain's vast amount of personal data, even minor lapses in management could directly affect public trust, and therefore, efforts to strengthen the personal data protection system must be prioritized.
He reviewed the progress of the 'Everyone's Finance' initiative, which is set to launch in December. This initiative aims to enhance the current 'Open Finance' by integrating financial information from central, local, and educational sources, and will include features such as an online financial museum and learning and AI functionalities.
Park visited the 24-hour monitoring center of the Financial Information Service to hear from staff and urged them to approach their work with a sense of mission, as it underpins the management of national finances.
The Office for Government Policy Coordination plans to ensure the stable operation of the Financial Information Service and continuously strengthen personal data protection and information security systems.
