The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) said on the 31st that it had held a hands-on red-team competition to respond to generative AI cyber threats based on public-private-academic cooperation. The competition was titled "AI Privacy Challenge." It was jointly organized by KISA, a National Intelligence Service branch, and the Korea National Institute of Communications and Technology.
The event was designed to strengthen response capabilities against generative AI-based cyber threats and was conducted in a simulated hacking format that assumed real attack scenarios targeting personal information processing systems. It was intended to identify security vulnerabilities and review incident response systems.
The competition was also set up to provide local college students with hands-on cybersecurty experience using generative AI. Participation took the form of joint involvement by local college students and institutional security personnel, and the participants were students from universities in Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. The students took part in teams of three.
The competition was run in a format in which students used generative AI to identify security vulnerabilities in personal information processing systems and analyze their impact. Institutional security personnel detected threat information in real time and carried out blocking and recovery measures. Through this, the event was designed to verify the security status of personal information processing systems and the effectiveness of their incident response frameworks.
The top prize went to Team Escaped Ninja after a comprehensive evaluation of vulnerability severity, exploitability, and impact. Team Escaped Ninja consisted of Kim Gyeong-jun, Yang Si-eun, and Jo A-young from Chonnam National University.
Lee Dong-geun, head of KISA's Management Planning Division, said KISA would promote public-private-academic cooperation among local talent, public institutions, and universities, and based on that, work to build a secure digital ecosystem and foster cybersecurity talent.
