Proposal of New Standard Work Item for AI Cybersecurity-Specialized Model Development Guidelines
 
KT has led standardization discussions in the AI security and digital trust fields at the Information Security International Standards Conference hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN body. As generative AI and general-purpose AI become more prevalent, establishing application standards for AI in the cybersecurity field has emerged as an international priority. KT proposed relevant guidelines as a new international standardization work item and completed the publication of a digital trust technical report.
 
KT announced on the 21st that it participated in the ITU-T (ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector) Information Security Study Group (SG17) International Standards Conference held in Chongqing, China from the 7th to the 11th, leading the discussions on international standardization in next-generation information security fields.

Kim Chang-o, Senior Executive and Head of the Personal Information Protection Group at KT's Information Security Division (CPO), participated as chair of the SG17 Reliability Assurance and Security Strategy/Cooperation Working Group (WP3). Yeom Heung-yeol, KT's Personal Information Protection Advisory Committee Chair, who served as SG17 chair from 2016 to 2024, also participated.
 
At this conference, KT proposed development guidelines for cybersecurity-specialized AI models utilizing general-purpose foundation models as a new international standardization work item.

The contribution includes △cybersecurity knowledge sources and datasets △technical considerations for specialized model development △evaluation criteria across the entire model development lifecycle △recommended practices for continuous model improvement.

If this guideline is adopted as a standard, it is expected to contribute to improving the quality and reliability of AI-based security solutions and ensuring global interoperability.
 
KT proposed amendments to a technical report that defines "trust" and "trustworthiness" in telecommunications and ICT environments and systematizes the components and requirements of a trust framework for applying them to actual systems.

With support from the United Kingdom and India, the report publication has been completed. KT announced plans to strengthen linkages with cybersecurity reference architectures and continue international discussions in the digital trust field going forward.
 
Committee Chair Yeom Heung-yeol stated, "It is important for the international community to jointly establish development standards for cybersecurity-specialized AI models and trust frameworks for ICT services. We will make efforts to ensure that our country's technology and experience are reflected in next-generation information security international standards."

Senior Executive Kim Chang-o stated, "In the AI era, cybersecurity, personal information protection, and trust must be inherently embedded across AI, data, and services."
