KT Proposes International Standard for Cybersecurity-Specialized AI Model Development Guidelines

✦ AI Summary
KT participated in an international standards meeting of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) under the UN.
KT proposed a new work item for an international standard on guidelines for developing a cybersecurity-specialized AI model using general-purpose foundation models.
Kim Chang-oh, head of the Personal Information Protection Group in KT's Information Security Office, and Yeom Heung-yeol, chairman of KT's Personal Information Protection Advisory Committee, jointly presented the proposed contribution paper.
KT has proposed an international standard for a "Cybersecurity-Specialized AI Model Development Guideline." KT joined discussions on international standardization for next-generation information security by participating in an international standards meeting hosted by the UN-affiliated International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
The meeting was the ITU-T SG17 international standards meeting held in Chongqing, China, from the 7th to the 11th. KT attended the international standards meeting of SG17, the Study Group 17 research group under the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) for information security.
Government, corporate, and research institute information security experts from around the world attended the meeting, which was held to develop international standards for cybersecurity, privacy protection, and artificial intelligence (AI) security. Kim Chang-oh, head of the Personal Information Protection Group in KT's Information Security Office and CPO, attended in his capacity as chair of ITU-T SG17 WP3.
At this meeting, KT proposed a new work item for an international standard on guidelines for developing a cybersecurity-specialized AI model using general-purpose foundation models. To support this, it also presented a proposed contribution paper, authored by Kim Chang-oh, head of the Personal Information Protection Group in KT's Information Security Office and CPO, and Yeom Heung-yeol, chairman of KT's Personal Information Protection Advisory Committee.
The paper included cybersecurity knowledge sources and datasets for AI model development. It also covered technical considerations for developing cybersecurity-specialized models, evaluation considerations across the model development lifecycle, and recommended practices for continuous model improvement.
As chair of ITU-T SG17 WP3 (Working Party 3, the subgroup for Trustworthiness assurance and security strategy and cooperation), Kim Chang-oh, CPO, is leading global standardization discussions in the fields of AI cybersecurity and Digital Trust. Yeom Heung-yeol served as chair of ITU-T SG17 from 2016 to 2024.
If guidelines for developing cybersecurity-specialized AI models are established, they are expected to improve the quality and reliability of AI security solutions based on standardization criteria. They are also expected to help establish a basis for the development and operation of AI models under consistent criteria for companies and institutions, improve interoperability of global AI security technologies, promote technology diffusion, and enhance capabilities for threat detection, analysis, and response.
International standardization discussions supporting these expected effects are also under way. SG17 is currently working on defining "Trust" and "Trustworthiness" for telecommunications and ICT environments, and has developed a technical report that systematizes the components and requirements of a "Trust Framework" for application to actual systems and services.
In this process, KT proposed revisions to supplement the definitions of key terms in the technical report, as well as additional revisions to the components and requirements of the Trust Framework. These proposals were actively supported by the UK and India, and publication of the technical report was completed. Going forward, connectivity with the cybersecurity reference architecture is expected to be strengthened, and international discussions in the Digital Trust field are also expected to continue.
