CNU has introduced Cyberbit, a cloud-based cyber training system, developed in and imported from Israel, which aims to foster information security experts to respond to cyber threats.

Cyberbit is a global-level education solution that allows practicing possible cyberattacks and defense techniques in a simulated virtual environment similar to the real world.

CNU's Information Security Specialization University Support Group (director: Professor Choi Kwang-hoon) plans to utilize this system prominently in the education curriculum, especially in the “Cyber Attack and Defense” course. This will contribute to producing professionals who can meet the demand for cybersecurity locally and globally.

In fact, through this, students experience a realistic cyber threat environment and acquire problem-solving skills necessary for specialized job fields such as developing the ability to respond to breaches and analyze vulnerabilities.

In order to increase the use of Cyberbit, CNU also formed a cyber training research group hosted by the university's System Security Center to prepare ways to utilize it in education for the information security major. CNU plans to provide follow-up support by sending excellent students to overseas companies for internships or overseas training.
 
Recently, various forms of cyberattacks and infringements such as ransomware attacks, DDoS attacks, data leaks, and social engineering that paralyze digital society continue to occur at home and abroad. As the methods and forms of these crimes become more and more sophisticated, it is difficult to even comprehend certain situations in real-time. Therefore, it has been pointed out that there is an urgent need to train advanced security experts.

Accordingly, CNU was selected for the Information Security Specialized University Support Project last year and received 3.3 billion KRW in project expenses to cultivate talent that will lead the future information security industry. Meanwhile, CNU established a new information security major and recruited 30 new students, which it plans to continue every year starting this year. 

In addition, CNU set a strategy that establishes an “Information Security Microdegree” curriculum for all students, including those in the humanities studies, and aims to develop the program into a mecca for nurturing information security talent by linking it with the convergence security graduate school course in the future.
