Export Expansion Drives Need For Enhanced Protection
South Korean defense companies are bolstering their security systems to protect key technologies and military information as exports expand. SNT Dynamics Co., Ltd. recently became the first South Korean defense company to obtain Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification from the US Department of War. The certification is expected to become a requirement for future maintenance, repair, and overhaul contracts. The defense industry’s efforts to enhance security may be driven by the need to prevent technology leaks, which could harm both export competitiveness and national security. This development was reported by Maeil Business Newspaper.
