The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) said on Monday it has launched a “ransomware lifecycle response task force” to respond systematically to increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks.
KISA launched the task force to respond more systematically to ransomware threats. It is a measure to strengthen ransomware 대응, following the establishment of a “ransomware response team” through a previous organisational reshuffle. The task force consists of experts in areas including analysis, investigation, cryptography, artificial intelligence, detection and forensics. Over the next 6 months, they plan to identify key tasks for each stage of ransomware response and set up an integrated response system that links them together.
KISA President Sang-jung Lee (이상중) said, “If phishing is a crime that threatens the daily lives and livelihoods of the public, ransomware is a major cyber threat that targets companies and affects industry and the market overall.” He added, “To minimise damage to companies, we will build a full-cycle ransomware response system, expand prevention activities, and strengthen the cybersecurity foundation that will support the country’s leap to becoming a leading AI nation.”
