DSLab Company (CEO Jo Yong-hyun), a cybersecurity company specializing in smart and autonomous ships, announced that it held a security enhancement workshop for smart ship cyber resilience at Take Hotel in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, with more than 50 participants from participating companies, demonstration companies, and shipbuilding, offshore, and information protection officials of the new technology application convergence service security enhancement pilot project (smart ship field).
 

The workshop, held on the 28th, is part of the security enhancement demonstration project for smart ship cyber resilience in the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA)'s 'Security Enhancement Pilot Project for Convergence Service Applying New Technology' selected in June this year. It was held to share information on the demonstration process and security technologies and to establish a close cooperation system among participating organizations.
 

NSHC, NAONWORKS, and AI-SPERA, representative companies of domestic information protection, are participating in the project, and experts from the demonstration center, shipbuilding, offshore, and information protection industry, academia, and research are participating as expert committees. Ship cyber resilience is a cybersecurity system required for ships contracted from January next year, and this pilot project is expected to lead the global ship cybersecurity trend by involving global shipbuilding, offshore, and information protection companies and related experts. The organizer, DSLab Company, has developed cybersecurity technologies for ships based on its ship cybersecurity brand, CYTUR (an acronym for 'Cyber Turtle Ship'). In addition, the company has registered and applied for 15 patents related to ship cybersecurity at home and abroad, and has published research results in 20 overseas academic journals (SCIE) and domestic related conferences and papers, focusing on technology commercialization.
 

“We have accumulated capabilities through continuous research and development for the commercialization of ship cybersecurity. Recently, the shipbuilding and offshore industry has been moving faster due to the ship cybersecurity regulations that will be mandatory next year, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' ship cyber safety guidelines, and the Korea Coast Guard's strengthening of ship and maritime cybercrime response. Going forward, we will strive to establish cooperative relationships with the shipbuilding and offshore industry and academia at home and abroad to ensure that Korea, as a shipbuilding and offshore powerhouse, has a technological edge in the ship cybersecurity market,” said Jo Yong-hyun, CEO of DSLab Company.
