법률개정을 통한 사이버 예비군(CRF) 및 탈피오트(Talpiot) 창설 방안* (IT 인력 동원 방안 및 대통령령 신설 법안 제시)

Abstract

The Republic of Korea is a country that is highly dependent on IT powerhouses and digital infrastructure, and the current Korean government recognizes that strengthening cyber security is an urgent task and has actively expressed its will to create a cyber reserve force that can utilize IT private companies and experts in cyber operations (scheduled to be established in 2025). However, the Cyber Reserve Force has not yet been established due to a lack of legal basis and prior research, and public awareness and support for cyber security. Therefore, this study identified and classified Korea's IT manpower that can be mobilized and recruited as a cyber reserve force, and suggested the direction of the revision of the Presidential Decree, which allows the President to revise according to laws and powers without the consent of the National Assembly, to promote the government legislative process, and to create a cyber reserve force as soon as possible and put it directly into the current cyber defense operation and training. Finally, this study suggested additional measures for the creation of Talpiot(the best IT manpower) that the current government is promoting, along with the Cyber Reserve Force. To this end, it reviewed current laws and presidential ordinances such as the current Reserve Army Act, the Military Service Act, presidential decree of the Cyber Operation Command, presidential decree of the Defense Counterintelligence Command, the Defense Research Institute Act, and linked them to the direction and application of the Enforcement Decree of the Reserve Army Act. As a result, it proposed a temporary establishment bill of Article 5-3 (Cyber Reserve Force System) of the Enforcement Decree of the Reserve Army Act under the current law. In addition, it proposed a plan to simultaneously realize the cyber reserve force and cyber talpiot promoted by the current government through the security permit rating system, which is the establishment of data accessibility for each individual cyber reserve stipulated in Article 5-3 (Cyber Reserve System) of the Enforcement Decree of the Reserve Army Act.
