Even a hacker must have a strategy!
So, did director RM of BTS Company really adapt well to the company?
About 20 years ago, when I majored in system and network security,
there weren't many universities that offered security-related education,
and there weren't many colleges that had departments majoring in security at all.
However, now, not only the private sector, but also the government
has announced plans to train white hackers and have prepared various programs
to discover and support excellent hackers. As one of those involved in the security field,
this atmosphere is very good news.
It is a fact that there are more excellent security experts with advanced hacking skills than in the past.
Even at this moment, there are many people who are preparing to become world-class hackers.
However, ironically, the future cannot be guaranteed by simply honing technology while forgetting the importance of things outside of technology.
Hackers must also be armed with a strategy!
Though this book seems humble, but it will guide you along the way.
The author started studying information engineering at Korea University with the dream of establishing a Korean version of Microsoft.
In 2003, he entered Korea University's Graduate School of Information Security to contribute to minimizing the damage caused by security issues.
At the same time, he also participated in Samsung Electronics' software membership activities to contribute to making products that benefit
the world based on his software development capabilities. During this period, he successfully completed a lecture on hacking
by the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's Cyber Investigation Unit and a project at the National Security Research Institute(NSRI),
contributing to not only registering related patents but also transferring the technology to companies.
In 2005, Samsung Electronics software membership graduates had the advantage of being able to choose the department
they wanted to go to at the same time as getting a job at Samsung Electronics. The author decided that
it would be better to work in a department that can understand the overall company in which he will work rather than
working in a department that is responsible for only one function at the beginning of his career.
So, the author firstly started to build up his skills as an entrepreneur by joining the department under the CTO Strategy Office,
which designs and manages changes in the entire Samsung Electronics process from product planning to design, development, mass production, and sales.
At this time, the author also worked as a member of the labor-management council, starting with the award of excellence while performing the CA role -
an abbreviation for Change Agent, which creates a smoother communication channel between the department head and department members.
In 2009, judging that he completed to have a basic understanding of the entire company, the author moved to the department
in charge of corporate security to utilize his original major - information security - and laid the foundation for the organization's IT security.
At this time, he worked as an information security instructor to improve the security awareness of company-wide employees and
was recognized as an excellent instructor. After being dispatched as the first security officer of SWA RHQ(SouthWest Asia Regional Headquarter)
centered on India, in 2013, the author laid the security foundation - building a security organization, designing a security system and etc.
- for many affiliated corporations in the region and performed various activities such as responding to hackers.
When the author returned to Korea and took charge of the organization in 2016, the rate of malicious code infection of the organization
was too high, so the author himself built and implemented a tangible cyber penetration training system.
In addition, as a result of linking the tangible cyber penetration training results with customized security awareness program that
visits all employees directly, he achieved zero infection rate with malicious code in the organization.
In 2019, he moved to the audit and investigation part head of information security assurance group at Device Solution(semiconductor sector),
and had been trying to make a contribution to raising the security level of the Korean semiconductor industry through various activities.
Since January 2022, he has been leading the RED Team as a vulnerability analysis part head.
