In his opening remarks, Cho Kyung-sik, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, “CAMP, which was launched in 2016 with 29 countries and has now expanded to 46 countries, has grown into an international cooperation network that continuously shares cyber threat information and the latest security technology trends,” adding, “As we enter the era of digital transformation, the need for cybersecurity cooperation between countries has increased. We will strive to enable CAMP to serve as a catalyst for expanding cooperation among member countries.”

This CAMP annual meeting is being broadcast on the Korea Internet & Security Agency's YouTube channel.

CAMP is an international cybersecurity consultative body initiated by Korea in 2016. Through annual meetings, regional forums, and publication issuance, it shares cybersecurity policies and cyber threat response measures among countries.
