Welcome
Invitation
Dear esteemed information security professionals,
With the arrival of the abundant autumn season, we extend our deepest gratitude to all of you who dedicate yourselves to the advancement of information security in Korea and to building a safe digital environment. We sincerely invite you to honor us with your presence at the "Workshop on Information Security Education and Governance 2026," to be held on September 18, 2026, and to share in this meaningful occasion together.
Under the theme "Security Governance and Skill-up Strategies in the Era of AI Transformation," this workshop has been organized to explore in depth the new security governance frameworks required in an environment where—beyond generative AI—Agentic AI and Physical AI are spreading in earnest, along with strategies for cultivating the next generation of information security talent. As AI agents that autonomously judge and act, robots and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and digital-twin-based operating environments rapidly expand, organizations are being called upon to move beyond existing security frameworks toward new response strategies that integrate policy, technology, operations, and ethics.
This workshop addresses organizational security governance strategies for the AI era and directions for AI-based security risk management, centering on Agentic AI–based automation services and threat-intelligence utilization frameworks based on CTI-AX (Cyber Threat Intelligence-Augmented eXperience). Alongside response strategies for data leakage, supply-chain attacks, AI model misuse, and threats linked to physical systems that may arise while adopting generative and autonomous AI services, the program will also discuss human-AI collaborative control frameworks (Human-in-the-Loop), AI auditing, and trends in international AI regulation and governance frameworks.
The workshop will also introduce the evolution of next-generation Cyber Ranges and online self-directed education and training environments that are being transformed by AI technologies. Through cases of AI-based integrated cyber-range training platforms, it will share the development directions of next-generation education and training technologies—such as automated attack/defense scenario generation, real-time learning analytics, digital-twin-based practice, and remote collaborative training environments. Various strategies and operational experiences for building AI-collaborative, practice-oriented education systems and cultivating self-directed security talent will also be discussed.
In addition, based on real cases from public institutions and quasi-governmental agencies, the workshop will examine strategies for raising the overall security level of organizations as well as directions for global cooperation. Through analyses of information-security management assessment results, vulnerability-improvement strategies, and cases of security capacity-building based on international development cooperation, it will share directions for establishing integrated security strategies at the organizational and policy levels—beyond technology-centered responses.
The current status and future strategies for the skill-up of information security personnel will also be a key focus. Centering on the education/training policies and operational cases of major institutions such as KISA, KISIA, CSTEC, and the Information Security Gifted Education Institute, the program will comprehensively survey the current state of domestic information-security talent cultivation and its future directions, followed by discussions on practice-oriented talent-development strategies and national-level capacity-building measures to respond to changes in the AI-based security environment.
Furthermore, through presentations by the award winners of the "ATHENA 2026 Information Security Education·Training Cyber Attack·Defense Scenario Competition," participants will share creative attack/defense scenario design experiences and AI-based practical training cases. Through the latest education/training models utilizing generative AI, the metaverse, and XR technologies, together with year-over-year comparative analyses, it will be a meaningful time to survey the changes and development directions of Korea's information-security education and training ecosystem.
In the era of AI transformation, this workshop will be a valuable occasion to share practical strategies and experiences for responding to the changing security environment and education/training paradigm, and to expand cooperation and exchange among information-security professionals across industry, academia, research, and government. We hope you will join us despite your busy schedules, making it a meaningful time to share insights and wisdom on the future direction of information security.

Session Descriptions
01
(Keynote Speech) Security Governance Strategies for the Era of Agent-Based and Physical AI
This session addresses the new directions for security governance required as environments spread beyond generative AI to Agentic AI—which autonomously judges and acts—and Physical AI, which directly controls real-world devices, robots, and sensors. It analyzes the security threats and risk factors that may arise in AI agent–based automation services, robots and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), digital twins, and autonomous operating environments, and presents response strategies that integrate an organization's policy, technology, operations, and ethics frameworks. It also introduces practical application measures centered on AI decision-making control, data-reliability verification, AI behavior auditing, human-AI collaborative control frameworks (Human-in-the-Loop), security for supply-chain and cloud-based AI services, and trends in international regulation and AI governance frameworks. It shares directions for building security governance and phased response strategies through which public institutions and private enterprises can secure stability and reliability during their transition to AI-based work environments.
02
Security Governance Strategies for the Era of Agent-Based and Physical AI
This session is organized around the changing organizational security environment and response strategies driven by the spread of Agentic AI—capable of autonomous decision-making and action—and Physical AI, which connects directly to the physical environment. It introduces approaches for automating organizational security operations and advancing decision-making frameworks using AI agents, as well as intelligent threat-intelligence utilization frameworks based on CTI-AX (Cyber Threat Intelligence-Augmented eXperience) and AI-collaborative security governance models. It also analyzes risk factors such as data leakage, AI model misuse, supply-chain attacks, and threats linked to physical systems that may arise while adopting generative and autonomous AI services, and presents an AI-based security risk-management framework and integrated response strategies from the policy, technology, and operations perspectives.
