Sejong University and the Republic of Korea Army Headquarters recently entered into a bilateral agreement to collaborate in the field of cybersecurity. The agreement, which aims to enhance the Army's cyber specialist recruitment efforts, is a response to the Ministry of National Defense's decision to expand the contracted department of the military and recruit online field experts. As part of this collaboration, graduates from Sejong University's Department of Cyber Defense will now have the opportunity to become Army Cyber Specialist Officers. The signing ceremony, attended by prominent figures including Sejong University President Bae Deok-hyo and General Park Ahn-soo, Chief of Staff of the Korean Armed Forces, emphasized the focus on fostering cyber defense experts and establishing a cyber defense department with guaranteed employment. Additionally, starting with the freshman class of 2025, Sejong University will select 20 outstanding students annually to receive full tuition support for four years, engaging in military activities and gaining exposure to the Army's Cyber Operations Center and international cyber exercises. President Bae highlighted the university's commitment to providing the Army with the necessary expertise, while General Park stressed the importance of cyber experts in building a technologically advanced and responsive army.
