Dec. 2017 Government `Security Threat` controversy

The Ministry of National Defense and the National Police Agency, which is responsible for national security and security this year, have been in the midst of controversy over low-priced security vaccines. In particular, the Ministry of National Defense, which protects the safety and life of the people, has been criticized for being a "day-and-day group" in a way that it turned the responsibility of hijacking the defense network and information leakage accidents last year as a vaccine supplier. The National Police Agency has taken the industry`s co-operation by pushing for vaccines with less budget than the Ministry of National Defense.

¡Þ Defense Department still lacks budget for security hole...I cannot find a next company. = The military secrets of the defense network leaked because of a suspected hack in North Korea last September. Defense integrated data centers have been hacked by hackers who are believed to be North Koreans, and many important secrets have been leaked. In addition, 235GB of data was leaked from the outside internet network and internal intranet according to the Democratic Party`s office, Lee Cheol-hee.

Of the leaked data, 226 were classified as second class, 42 were classified as third class, and 27 as confidential. In particular, the document includes the latest operational plan `Operation Plan 5015` and details of `Deep Operations` on the North Korean War leadership. It also includes the `Operation Plan 3100` for the local provocation response plan. He added.

The Ministry of Defense decided to build a new vaccine system to enhance security. In July, it announced that it would announce the `2017 former anti-virus system (external network) construction project` and separated the `internal network` and `external network`. As a result of criticism that it is always possible for only certain companies to participate, the budget has been increased to about KRW 4 billion (internal net KRW 3 billion, external net KRW 1 billion ) by combining internal and external networks.

It was higher than the previous business amount of KRW 1.7 billion, but it was still too low to receive the neglect of the companies. The outside network was allowed to bid by foreign companies, and was followed by two offers. Finally, US-based McAfee was selected. Internal network operators are still unable to find operators due to the fact that Haori, who was an existing company, has been solicited by a single bidder. If it is originally, the contract between the Ministry of National Defense and Hauri should have expired in January this year, but it is leading to a continuous extension contract.

In October, the Ministry of Defense issued a complaint to the Seoul Central District Court asking for damages of 5 billion won against Haewari and a computer network construction company.

The Ministry of National Defense claims that the two companies` malfunctioning operation and construction caused the hacking of the defense network. Hauri`s vaccine data was hacked in 2015 and the vulnerability linked to the defense network hacking, but Hauri did not report it properly.

Hauri stated, "The NIS and the National Police Agency have investigated several reports at the time, and the Pentagon has concluded that there are no problems." The security industry is criticizing the Ministry of Defense that it is involved in political issues such as Cyber Command`s "commentary unit" after recent regime change, and that it is involved in the company`s efforts to reduce internal risks.

¡Þ The National Police Agency ... In September, the National Police Agency issued an emergency announcement of `Integrated Vaccine and Security Patch Software (SW) Purchase` and allocated a budget of 230 million won. The size of the project was reduced from about 300 million won in 2006 to about 250 million won from 2008 to 2015.

This project is to install and maintain a vaccine and a Windows security patch SW for about 100,000 internal and external network PCs and servers in use by the National Police Agency (main office) and subsidiary agencies (17 local offices and 5 direct offices).

Contract period The Cyber Security Control Center of the National Police Agency should also reside in the technical personnel who will handle the trouble. PCs (2 ~ 3 units) and office supplies to be used by resident personnel will be covered by the supplier. HAURI, who conducted the project last year, won the project again this year.

An industry representative pointed out, "Both the Ministry of National Defense and the National Police Agency are continuing their efforts with the weapon of" securing reference of important national institutions "to the companies." Both organizations should increase their budgets reasonably and increase competition among enterprises. We can build a system, "he said.
