SANDS Lab announced on the 7th that it has received a project for the 'development of hyperautomation deception technology for active threat hunting' from the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute for Information and Communications Technology Planning and Evaluation (IITP).
The objective of this project is to develop 'active deception' technology that captures and analyzes attack actions in real-time to respond proactively.
To respond to advanced cyber attacks, SANDS Lab explained that it would establish a proactive defense system that induces attackers to infiltrate bait systems and identifies and blocks threats in advance.
The lead organization, SANDS Lab, is forming a consortium with Unisys, MONITORAPP, and Korea University to carry out the project.
The main objectives include ▲ developing hyperautomation deception technology for active threat hunting ▲ real-time detection of attack information from attackers and analysis of attack patterns ▲ developing data linkage technology between deception and security equipment for proactive responses.
Kim Gi-hong, representative of SANDS Lab, noted, "Through this project, the utility value of the threat analysis information provided by SANDS Lab's Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) service, CTX, will also increase."
This project is expected to invest about 7 billion won, including a total of four years of government-supported research and development funds until 2028. In the future, there are plans to establish a cooperative framework with telecommunications companies, incident response agencies, and Internet Data Center (IDC) operators to accelerate the verification and commercialization of deception technology.
