Fair in Seoul highlights data protection amid rising security concerns SEOUL, June 23 (AJP) - A fair to raise awareness of the protection and security of personal information is currently underway at COEX in southern Seoul. The two-day fair, hosted by the Personal Information Security Fair & CPO Workshop (PIS FAIR) in cooperation with the Personal Information Protection Commission, kicked off on Monday, bringing together some 89 organizations along with around 4,000 privacy-related workers, data protection managers, and information security professionals from public institutions and private companies. The fair comes amid growing public concern over data security, from e-commerce giant Coupang's massive leak of personal data affecting around 35 million users revealed late last year, to recent data breaches involving streaming platform Tving and BGF Networks, the operator of CU convenience stores' parcel delivery services, along with numerous other cases. Participating companies are showcasing the latest trends in cybersecurity and data protection solutions. The annual fair, now in its 15th year, comes just months before a revision to relevant regulations, which significantly increases penalties for those responsible in the event of data breaches, is set to take effect in early September. 2026-06-23 16:56:46 -
