Ⅰ BACKGROUND Ⅱ VISIONS AND GOALS Ⅲ STRATEGIC TASKS Ⅳ PLANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 2 Improve ‌ cybersecurity environment for critical infrastructure 1) ‌Improve schemes to enable the government to designate and swiftly protect critical infrastructure facilities whose disruption in the case of an attack would significantly unsettle people’s daily lives. 2) ‌Support institutions operating critical infrastructure to create departments dedicated to cybersecurity and allocate sufficient budget for cybersecurity 3) ‌Issue guidelines for institutions to factor in security at the initial phase of establishing critical infrastructure and create relevant inspection schemes. 4) ‌Foster an environment that allows voluntary security assessments of network/information equipment acquired by infrastructure operators in the private sector. 5) ‌Compose evaluation standards for sector-specific security vulnerabilities and implement measures to ensure services continue in the event of a security incident. 3 Develop ‌ next-generation cybersecurity infrastructure 1) ‌Prepare technical and institutional plans to respond to emerging security threats triggered by technological convergence and the advent of new technologies. 2) ‌Implement “security by design” in ICT products and services that directly impact peoples’ lives to ensure their safety. 3) ‌Develop and distribute high-assurance networks which are fundamentally protected against cyber threats. 4) ‌Establish next-generation security authentication infrastructure to enable the public to conveniently and safely use online services in a hyper-connected and AI-driven environment. 15
