cyber environment; cyber policies of the two countries; potential areas of cooperation;
international norms in cyber space and confidence-building measures; and ways to build
capability for cyber security.
2. As cyber security has emerged as a key global issue following such large-scale
hacking incidents as those involving Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Korea Hydro
and Nuclear Power, the upcoming Cyber Policy Consultation is expected to serve as an
opportunity for the ROK and the US to further step up their substantive cooperation in
responding to cyber security threats.
° So far, the ROK and the US have worked closely together in the field, including by
sharing information on the heels of major cyber attacks and threats, such as those
involving Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power. At their
forthcoming meeting, the two sides will discuss ways to work more closely together,
including in protecting main infrastructures, responding to cyber crimes and conducting
joint research and development.
