Taejun Jung, Executive Director at Penta Security, emphasized that the recent SK Telecom security incident once again demonstrated the importance of encryption. In the SKT case, the leaked USIM data was not legally required to be encrypted. However, he explained that when combined with personal information, such data can lead to personal identification, which is why companies must proactively expand their encryption coverage. While many companies are reluctant to adopt encryption due to concerns about performance degradation, he pointed out that system optimization can sometimes lead to improved performance. He stressed that encryption should be viewed not as a cost but as a form of insurance. (Importance of Data Encryption)
He predicted that the future security environment will be centered on “connectivity,” as new technologies such as AI, autonomous driving, IoT, and cloud computing continue to evolve. As a result, the importance of encryption to securely protect connected data will only grow. Penta Security is actively exploring next-generation technologies such as zero trust security, AI-based threat detection, homomorphic encryption, and post-quantum cryptography. Jung concluded by emphasizing that “encryption is the last line of defense” and that “encryption is the answer.”
