최근 북한의 사이버 위협실태 분석과 대응에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the actual situation of cybersecurity threats being developed by North Korea and pro-North Korean forces in cyberspace, which has emerged as an important factor in national security due to the development of cyber technology. Since the 1990s, North Korea has operated a cyber maneuvering organization against South Korea and has carried out various cyberattacks against us, including cyber psychological warfare, hacking, and cyber terrorism, and the risk is deepening into a cyber war. In addition, pro-North Korean forces have been spreading propaganda against the South without filtering in response to North Korea and carrying out black propaganda activities at every major opportunity in South Korean society. The study of North Korea and pro-North Korean forces that threaten security toward the Republic of Korea is the subject of this paper, and the research method combines literature research and expert testimony through analysis such as public research, Korean government presentations, and credible media press releases. Through this study, we would like to understand the detailed status of cyber security risk activities by North Korea and pro-North Korean forces, and suggest countermeasures to block and prevent them.
