The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) is collaborating with Naver Cloud to develop a specialized artificial intelligence (AI) model for cybersecurity.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, the MSIT announced that it held a kickoff meeting for the 'Cybersecurity Specialized AI Model Development' project in Euljiro, Seoul. The meeting was organized to inform stakeholders about Naver Cloud's plans for developing a security model.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Baek Kyung-hun stated, "Establishing AI security sovereignty and securing our own AI security model as a strategic asset is essential. Even amid recent discussions on regulating AI speed, possessing frontier AI capabilities will determine a nation's future, so we must continue to take bold challenges."
He added, "The goal of this project is to rapidly and boldly develop a globally competitive model that can be immediately utilized in real security environments to respond to the cyber threats we face."
To support this initiative, the MSIT will provide Naver Cloud with 256 NVIDIA GPU B200 units over a period of 10 months.
Naver Cloud plans to combine field data from domestic security companies and expert defensive know-how to develop the model. This approach aims to ensure that the model can be deployed directly in critical national infrastructure and industrial sites.
Deputy Prime Minister Baek emphasized, "The government will actively support the development consortium for the cybersecurity specialized model by considering all aspects, including infrastructure support, securing competitiveness, and utilization and dissemination. Through this project, we can lead AI innovation based on a foundation of safety and trust."
