Hyundai Motor and Kia announced the establishment of a Cybersecurity Working Group within the Korea-U.S.-Japan economic dialogue (TED) and held its inaugural seminar at their headquarters in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, on June 24.
TED brings together key leaders from the political and business sectors of South Korea, the United States, and Japan to explore opportunities for democracy and shared prosperity, while discussing comprehensive strategies for economic development and national security.
Hyundai and Kia took the lead in forming the Cybersecurity Working Group, which is the first subgroup created based on a specific topic within TED.
As the boundaries between virtual and physical spaces blur, cyberattacks are becoming increasingly frequent and complex. Additionally, the widespread adoption of AI and IoT technologies raises the potential for damage to spread among interconnected companies within supply chains.
The automakers plan to regularly share security trends, operational experiences, and best practices among TED member companies from various countries and industries to enable a coordinated response to global cyber threats.
The first seminar, titled "Security Response Strategies in the Age of AI," featured participation from working group members and professors from prominent domestic universities, who shared the latest trends and strategic case studies in cybersecurity, followed by expert discussions on security in the AI era.
A representative from Hyundai and Kia stated, "As global supply chain connectivity increases, cross-border cybersecurity responses are essential. We hope this working group will establish a practical security cooperation framework."
Meanwhile, Hyundai and Kia have been sponsoring TED since 2023 to strengthen the strategic partnership among South Korea, the United States, and Japan, while creating a forward-looking new relationship.
