The online hacking experience zone, which has received positive responses every year, will also be available this year. Various content such as basic hacking practice and penetration testing, accessible to beginners through advanced users, will be provided 24 hours a day.

Seung Hyun-jun, President of Samsung Research Institute, said, "This is an opportunity to hear the latest security research lectures from global experts alongside Samsung’s continuous efforts to prioritize customer security and privacy protection," adding, "I hope the 'Samsung Security Technology Forum' becomes a vibrant platform for active technology exchange and cooperation."
