Financial Security Institute Presents New Financial Security Paradigm at 'FISCON 2026'

The Financial Security Institute announced on the 13th that it will hold "FISCON 2026 (Financial Information Security Conference 2026, FISCON 2026)." "FISCON 2026" is the largest information security conference in South Korea's financial sector. The event will take place on November 12 at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido.

This year's theme is "Now for Next Finance." The theme reflects the idea that today's strategy determines tomorrow's finance. The Financial Security Institute organized the event to explore new security strategies for future finance reshaped by AI.

Major CEOs and CISOs in the financial sector will attend the event. Participants are expected to discuss a series of recent breaches in the financial industry and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats driven by AI. Through this, the event aims to raise awareness across the financial sector and explore a shift to a preemptive AI-based security framework.

The early program will focus on AI and zero-trust as core themes for examining the future of financial security and its defense direction. For the VIP event and opening ceremony, domestic and overseas experts in AI and zero-trust will be invited, with the sessions centered on outlining the future of financial security and the latest defense strategies.

The keynote speech will be delivered by Georgia Tech professor Kim Tae-soo. He will present how AI will change the nature of cyberattacks and explain how financial companies should respond.

The special lecture will be given by Raghu Nandakumara, a global financial security expert. Raghu Nandakumara will highlight the importance of zero-trust as a key security strategy in the AI era and present ways to apply it in the domestic financial sector. As an invited speaker, Kim Jin-hwi, executive vice president at Naver Cloud, who is leading the government’s AI foundation model project specialized in cybersecurity, will introduce the direction for developing a domestic independent AI security foundation model.

The overall seminar will be run across 3 tracks, including these sessions. Track 1 will cover financial paradigm shifts and responses, Track 2 will focus on AI and security innovation strategies, and Track 3 will address cyber threats and responses.

At this event, the institute plans to share financial sector strategies for responding to the restructuring of the industry amid changes in the technical and regulatory environment, including shifts in network segregation rules, AI privacy, and AI governance. It will also discuss AI safety and reliability evaluation, identity and access management for AI agents, and AI-based cloud security, while covering safe ways to use AI and directions for innovating financial security through such use.

It will also examine how hacking attacks and defenses are changing in the AI era, and present AI-based multi-agent penetration testing to address increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. In response, it will also present ways to strengthen AI-based security capabilities.

Finally, with Security for AI and AI for Security as the core themes, the event will broadly examine the concerns of the financial sector as it enters a new era after network segregation, as well as practical solutions for the industry.

Park Sang-won, president of the Financial Security Institute, said the institute recognizes the reality of security threats that exploit AI and that the strategies being set now will determine the direction of the future financial industry. He added that he hopes the event will serve as an opportunity to seek shared, constructive solutions across the financial sector and strengthen the foundation for safely and innovatively leading the future financial ecosystem together with AI.
