KISA Sustainability Report 2012 Korea Internet & Security Agency

CEO Message

I'm delighted to announce the sustainability management achievements of KISA (Korea Internet & Security
Agency) by publishing the second Sustainability Management Report this year. KISA is the only agency specialized
in the Internet and information security established in 2009 by merging three agencies - KISA(Korea Information
& Security Agency), NIDA (National Internet Development Agency), and KIICA (Korea IT International Cooperation
Agency).

Internet became a part of our daily life and industries to such an extent that we feel uncomfortable if we
cannot access the Internet. As a result, various services derived from the Internet are making contributions to
improving our quality of life. Particularly, we can accommodate new information quickly and process most of our
business over the Internet owing to the recent wide spread of smart-phone and increased use of SNS (Social
Network Service). Unfortunately, the more benefits we get from the Internet, the more dysfunction arises. These
dysfunctions are damaging people, such as malignant comments, cyber violence, hacking, malicious code
infection, and privacy infringement. KISA is making efforts to minimize these Internet dysfunctions and let people
use the Internet more safely and wholesomely with a sense of social responsibility.

While publishing Sustainability Management Report 2012, the KISA came to understand the expectation of
stakeholders and direction that KISA should aim at, instead of only reporting agency achievements.

First, in order to lead the sound Internet culture, we will expand and develop the Internet culture movement so
that people can more practically participate the movement. We will endeavor to educate the growing generation
to have a correct Internet ethical belief, both online and offline, by diffusing the Making a beautiful Internet world
movement among people and implementing Internet ethics education for various social classes.
Second, we will do our best in developing the Internet incident response system and protecting people's privacy.
We will strengthen our capabilities to protect the country and people from the cyber-attacks and personal
information leakage that are getting increasingly diversified every day.
Third, we will nurture the Internet and information security industry systematically, and promote international
cooperation. As the Internet industry will play a pivotal role in our economy, we will foster the industry and
personnel related to the future Internet, and support domestic enterprises in entering overseas markets so that
they can be a core part of the national competitiveness.
Lastly, we will pursue constant internal innovation. In order to be reborn as a creative organization, we will change
the way of doing our works and strengthen employees expertise capabilities by shedding the old practice of public
organizations. In addition, smooth communication among employees will be encouraged to improve the business
efficiency and make workplaces more pleasant.

We hope that many stakeholders will also support and join our dreams and efforts to make the beautiful Internet
world. Thank you.

President of the Korea Internet and


Security Agency, Dr. Lee, Ki-joo

Q. What do you expect from KISA to promote the Internet ethics and culture movement?
Hands-on workers and leaders with long-term view should be well-balanced. Therefore, even though the
campaign doesnt produce tangible results, we should not judge the effects with simple numbers only. Instead, we
should concentrate on sowing seeds. To cultivate ginseng, we should sow seeds for at least 5 years. Likewise,
we need to carry forward the campaign with a long-term view. More frequent and continuous events are needed
because the promotion policy should be implemented steadily with a philosophical foundation. I expect small
events every month rather than a large-scale event once a year.
