Expert consulting on foundational software safety, quality, etc.
The Ministry of Science and ICT will begin ensuring software safety for five key national systems directly related to public safety starting in March.
The Ministry of Science and ICT will ensure public safety by diagnosing five key national systems starting in March.
The Ministry of Science and ICT, which finally selected the systems of five institutions that requested consulting through a public application process that lasted for about one month starting from January 13, will conduct consulting sequentially from March to early December.
The 2020 National Key System Software Safety Diagnosis and Consulting, which is carried out based on a comprehensive assessment of safety importance, the impact of failures, the urgency of consulting, and the agency's willingness to improve, is conducted in a manner where 7 to 9 experts diagnose software defects or risk factors and propose improvement measures for each system for about two months.
Software safety refers to a state of being sufficiently prepared for accidents caused by internal software malfunctions or inadequate safety functions, without external intrusions such as hacking or cyber attacks. Software safety consulting, which focuses on diagnosing and advising on this aspect, analyzes the situation from a perspective different from traditional system management, which has primarily focused on preparing for external intrusions.
The five participating organizations this time are Korea Water Resources Corporation, Daejeon Metro Corporation, and the Central Location Tracking Control Center. It receives an assessment regarding ▲base SW safety ▲sufficiency of safety functions ▲SW quality, etc., from the Gyeonggi Traffic Information Center, the Korea Appraisal Institute, etc.
▲ A new provision regarding software safety has been added to the amendment to the Software Promotion Act.
Song Kyung-hee, Director General of Software Policy at the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, “With the advent of the digital transformation era, dependence on software across society is increasing, making the importance of ensuring software safety even greater.” She added, “We have established new provisions regarding software safety (including the preparation of related policies and industry promotion) in the amendment to the Software Promotion Act submitted to the National Assembly, and we will continue to provide support for ensuring software safety.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Science and ICT has been conducting in-depth diagnoses and consulting on the status of software safety management in national or public institutions since 2015, and has contributed to improving system safety by discovering over 37,000 software defects in 47 systems, including railways, aviation, and energy.
