Lee Kyeong Seok Cyber Crime Analysis Team Leader

The world of hackers is complex and dynamic, hidden beneath secretive communities and driven by relentless attempts to exploit new vulnerabilities. Hackers range from financially motivated criminals to state-sponsored groups pursuing political influence. This underground ecosystem has developed as a parallel world to the legitimate cybersecurity industry. As cyber threats continue to evolve, so too must defensive systems. The next-generation security ecosystem is transforming into a proactive environment that leverages cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence to predict, detect, and respond to threats in real time. The future of security requires strong collaboration between governments, private organizations, and the international community. In this ever-changing landscape, the balance of power between attackers and defenders remains in constant conflict. In this presentation, we will explore the interplay between the hacker’s world and the evolving security ecosystem, and analyze recent security issues and emerging trends.
