AI Reshapes Both Attack and Defense: 2026 Information Protection Solutions Conference Set for the 9th
IT DAILY ·
✦ AI Summary
Computerworld and IT DAILY will hold the '2026 Information Protection Solutions Conference' on the 9th at the Orche Hall on the 5th floor of L Tower in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. The event theme is 'AI for Security, Security for AI,' and it will discuss how AI is changing both the attack and defense sides of security and how to redesign corporate security systems. The conference will cover AIDC security threats, generative AI security threats, AI agent security threats, shadow AI, N2SF, and microsegmentation.
As AI emerges not only as a tool that supports security work but also as a new attack vector, a forum will open to discuss redesigning corporate security systems for the AI environment. Computerworld and IT DAILY will hold the '2026 Information Protection Solutions Conference' on the 9th at the Orche Hall on the 5th floor of L Tower in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. The theme of this year's event is 'AI for Security, Security for AI.'
At the conference, participants will discuss redesigning corporate security systems for the AI environment, under the theme of how AI is changing both the attack and defense sides of security. The event will cover security threats to AI data centers (AIDC), generative AI security threats, AI agent security threats, and response strategies for an expanding work environment.
Generative AI is spreading deeply into everyday corporate operations as its uses expand into research, document writing, development, and customer service. Along with that, 'shadow AI,' or the use of AI services that organizations have not approved, is also spreading.
As shadow AI spreads, with work information, personal data, and source code being entered into unapproved AI services, concerns are being raised that existing security systems alone make it difficult to control the movement and use of data.

The security industry stresses that blocking AI outright has limits in meeting demand for use in the workplace. It therefore argues for both creating a safe usage environment and establishing a data control framework. It also emphasizes the need to pursue 'AI for Security' and 'Security for AI' in parallel. 'AI for Security' refers to using AI for security automation and threat detection, while 'Security for AI' means protecting AI models, data, and infrastructure.
This conference is organized around reviewing the major security challenges of the AI era. It will include prompt-based information leaks, AI agent access management, AIDC infrastructure protection, the National Network Security Framework (N2SF), and microsegmentation. The event will open with congratulatory remarks from Lee Won-tae, chair of the Security Special Committee of the National AI Strategy Committee, and Kim Jin-soo, chairman of the Korea Information Security Industry Association (KISIA).
The first presentation will be the keynote speech by Kim Chang-hoon, a professor in the Department of Information Security at Daegu University. His topic is 'AIDC Cybersecurity Framework.' Data centers are emerging as the foundation of the AI industry, and because they concentrate large-scale computing resources and training data, they are becoming prime attack targets.
In his presentation, Professor Kim Chang-hoon will address security systems in the AIDC construction process and in the AIDC operation process. The conference has been organized as a venue to examine security challenges across AI adoption and infrastructure operations under this trend.
Three presentations will follow a flow that highlights the limitations of existing security methods and new leakage paths as AI use expands, while proposing countermeasures. Choi Young-chul, CEO of SGA Solutions, will review the limitations of perimeter-based network security under the theme 'Redesigning Cybersecurity Frameworks in the AI Era: Security Deployment Strategies Based on Server Security and Microsegmentation.' He will then introduce ways to segment access to critical work and data based on a combination of server security and microsegmentation.
Han Tae-dong, senior manager at AhnLab, will present 'Is Your Prompt Safe?: Data Security Strategies in the Generative AI Era.' He will focus on the possibility that prompts between generative AI and users could become a new channel for data leakage, and share strategies for controlling the external transmission of sensitive information while maintaining work productivity.
Kim Ju-seop, executive director of the cloud strategy business division at Winstechnet, is scheduled to present on 'Generative AI Utilization Strategies Based on a Safe AI Security Framework.' He will explain the technical safeguards, administrative safeguards, and security operations framework needed for the safe internal use of generative AI within organizations.
Kim Dong-hoon, department head of the consulting division at Softcamp, will present on 'AI Security Suite for Generative AI and AI Agent Utilization.' This presentation will point out that, as AI agents spread, they are going beyond simple queries and responses to call external systems and data and carry out work, and it will outline ways to protect data, users, and applications accordingly.
The final session will be based on a real-world financial sector case. Kim Ki-woong, team leader of the security strategy response team in the Information Protection Department (P) at KB Kookmin Bank, will present 'AI Attack Simulation and Response Strategies in the Financial Sector.' Based on the characteristics of the financial environment, where high security and regulatory compliance are required, he will introduce methods for verifying AI-based attack possibilities and for building response systems.
The event as a whole goes beyond the stage of considering whether to adopt AI and focuses on how to operate AI already deployed in the workplace within an organization’s control perimeter. It also is not limited to introducing individual security solutions, but is structured to provide a comprehensive view of the new security boundary spanning infrastructure, servers, data, prompts, and AI agents.
The '2026 Information Protection Solutions Conference' will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the 9th, and attendance is free. Prize drawings will be offered to participants, with 3 winners selected, and examples of prizes include Samsung Electronics' 'Galaxy Watch7' and 'Galaxy Buds3.'
