What Happened
Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation today announced the establishment of a new cybersecurity working group within the Korea-U.S.-Japan Trilateral Executive Dialogue (TED), strengthening private sector-led collaboration against escalating cyber threats. The working group is TED's first topic-specific subgroup, and its inaugural seminar was held at Hyundai's headquarters in Seoul under the theme "Security Response Strategies in the AI Era." The seminar focused on cybersecurity challenges in automotive, robotics, and smart factory systems.
“As global supply chain connectivity deepens, a response to cybersecurity threats that transcends borders is no longer optional, but essential. We have high expectations that this working group will help establish a practical and effective security cooperation system.”
Hyundai Motor and Kia, both TED member companies, plan to facilitate regular seminars through the working group, providing a platform for member companies to share security trends, operational experience, and best practices. The companies have been dedicated sponsors of the TED since 2023.
Why this matters
This initiative aims to foster cross-border cooperation on cybersecurity, which is becoming critical as global supply chains and connected technologies increase vulnerability to attacks.
