What people are saying
The creation and revision of departments is a promise to train first the talent needed by industrial sites.
We opened the department in response to industry requests for practical workers to take responsibility for data centre (IDC) security amid rising intelligent cyber threats, and to reflect the characteristics of the Daejeon-Chungcheong region, where national defence and public research institutions’ IT infrastructure is concentrated.
