The more the technologies of Korea reached the level of the advanced technology in the 21st century, the more trade secret domestic competitors tried to leak the world class technologies. To protect their industrial technology, 「Industrial Technology Leak Prevention and Protection Act」was enacted in 2006, the national response to declare, and 「Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secrets Protection Act」(here in after youngbibeop) was enhance as the most nimble response.
However, small businesses, as well as large corporations still don't know what to do to protect their technology. They just install a firewall, an external lock system controls, including trade secret protection pledge, that is the basic performance of IT security and physical security.
This phenomenon meantime, Korea has developed the industry-wide results of this rapidly developing technology-related personnel was achieved, many investors are also positive, while protecting technology without paying so little interest. The most likely cause is the lack of industrial security experts who have the ability to perform organized activities of industrial security.
In other words, compared with the complex business environment and risk taking by company, the definition of "threat" is too narrow, so that industrial security personnel do not train to be able to perform against various threats.
Decade ago, In the United States and other developed countries, companies already share information about variety of threats and countermeasures through seminars and presentations. The people in charge of industrial security in multinational companies in Korea have already taken for granted, but most of the domestic businesses except for very few companies is still passive.
In this study, industrial security includes physical security, risk assessment, information protection, IT security, Emergency planning & response, crisis & disaster management, business continuity planning, counter-terrorrism & workplace violence measures, incident management & investigation, security education & consulting, and security reviews & audits. For the development of the industrial security, it is essential that industrial security experts, specialized each of the above mentioned areas as well as CSO who covers all areas of industrial security, should be trained.
And in the meantime, it is shown that how the government and private sector of security industry make an effort to train industiral security experts, especially focused on the government policies to suggest ways to improve on this.
There are controversies whether the government has to lead industrial security experts training or companies should do in their own way. However, it is still attractive for the government to create new occupations and to protect against external threats by making conditions for the stable economic activities.
Although it is not good enough to be interested by scholars, I hope this study calls attention to the importance of further studies on the industrial security personnel training.
