The National Intelligence Service on the 30th released the official edition of the "National Network Security Framework (N2SF) security guidelines" on the National Cyber Security Center website.
According to the National Intelligence Service, the national network security framework is a new security system designed to move away from the rigid network separation policy in the existing institutional sector and enable the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud. Through this, it is possible to create an environment where generative AI and external cloud services can be used on work computers and work can be done via wireless LAN, among other methods.
After releasing a draft in Jan., the National Intelligence Service gathered opinions from across government, industry, and academia and made revisions. The guidelines consist of three volumes: the main booklet, Appendix 1 (security control item guide), and Appendix 2 (information service model guide).
According to the guidelines, the national network security framework aims to: ▲ shift the paradigm from a uniform network separation approach to a security policy based on the national network security framework ▲ realize a smart work environment that enables work from anywhere by integrating new technologies such as AI ▲ incorporate the concept of autonomous security by institutions.
To ensure smooth progress of the "N2SF-based informatization projects," the National Intelligence Service plans to hold on-site briefings for institutions at all levels and provide online consultations through the National Cyber Threat Information (NCTI) sharing system, among other channels.
A National Intelligence Service official said, "We expect this N2SF policy implementation to provide safety to the public sector while promoting the introduction and use of AI, serving as a springboard for building an AI powerhouse," adding, "We will continue to proactively prepare tailored cyber security policies for national security, people's livelihoods, and a leap to become one of the top three AI powers."
