The Financial Supervisory Service said on the 8th that it conducted an emergency response drill for information systems on the 7th to proactively respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) establishes and reviews an emergency response system every year for the stable operation and information security of public information systems and conducts regular drills.
The drill was conducted to check whether on-site response systems and systems operate normally even in the event of an actual incident. The scenarios included various situations such as ▲ a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack and response ▲ ransomware infection and backup recovery ▲ a switch to disaster recovery due to a fire.
As a result of the drill, the monitoring system remained stable during holidays and at night, and even when the website was infected with ransomware, it could be quickly restored by using an alternative server. In the event of a fire, the recovery process was also carried out normally through an alternate workspace.
Lee Chan-jin of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) said, "The financial supervision information system is core infrastructure directly tied to the trust of financial consumers," and added, "Please continue to maintain an unwavering emergency response posture going forward."
