On July 8, 2026, Korea Housing Finance Corporation announced that it held an opening ceremony for the "Cybersecurity Education Center for Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam" at Dong-A University Bumin Campus in Seo-gu, Busan, in partnership with the Busan branch of the National Intelligence Service, Dong-A University, and Korea East-West Power. The participating organizations signed a business agreement in July of last year to establish the education center, and since then, have been working together to create a systematic foundation for cybersecurity training and education, as well as to nurture the professional talent needed by the local community.

The education center will operate an industry-academia-government collaborative security expert training program and plans to advance real-time cyberattack response simulations. It will also develop educational content based on the latest hacking scenarios and jointly carry out policy research and seminars to vitalize the local security ecosystem.

Korea Housing Finance Corporation expects that, as artificial intelligence technology becomes more widespread and cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the education center will serve as a hub for enhancing practical response capabilities in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions. Kim Kyunghwan, President of Korea Housing Finance Corporation, stated, "As artificial intelligence advances, practical response capabilities to cyber threats are becoming increasingly important. We will continue to cooperate so that the Cybersecurity Education Center for Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam can foster local talent and contribute to raising the overall level of cyber safety across industries."
