(Norm 4) States should consider how best to cooperate to exchange information, assist each other, prosecute terrorist and criminal use of ICTs and implement other cooperative measures to address such threats. States may need to consider whether new measures need to be developed in this respect; ㆍCyber policy consultations The ROK has convened bilateral and trilateral cyber policy consultations with partner countries in order to develop and implement cooperative measures. See above Norm (a) for more information. ㆍCERT Cooperation To promote CERT cooperation, the KISA has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with partner countries. Since joining as a member of the Global Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the ROK has shared its case studies of ICT incidents and collected information on hacking incidents in Korea from other global CERTs and security firms at the annual conferences. ㆍCooperation on countering cybercrime Recognizing that international cooperation is crucial to combat cybercrime, the ROK invites over 1,000 experts and delegates on a yearly basis to discuss how to strengthen global cooperation against cybercrime. Every year, the KNPA convenes the International Symposium on Cybercrime Response (ISCR), which has also proven effective in investigating and prosecuting malicious activities in cyberspace concerning child pornography, gambling, etc. In addition, the ROK joined the G7 24/7 cybercrime network. The ROK places a great emphasis on strengthening bilateral cooperation on countercybercrimes. For example, to promote cooperation among law enforcement agencies, the ROK’s Supreme Prosecutor’s Office (SPO) convenes regular meetings with the U.S. FBI. Also, in 2019, the SPO visited the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Germany and European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) in Netherlands to address global cybercrime. Moreover, given the fact that Internet Service Providers (ISP) are becoming important partners to secure electronic evidences, the SPO operates the Government Security Program (GSP) jointly with Microsoft. ㆍCapacity building programs Currently, the ROK is actively engaging in capacity building programs for developing countries. For instance, the KNPA has sent experts on cybercrime investigation and digital forensic to developing countries since 2012. In 2019, 12 experts were sent to six countries and helped to improve their capabilities. 5 / 10
