AB  - This document describes the foundations of cybersecurity practices in the Republic of Korea, specifically laws, regulations, governance, and foundational infrastructure, which comprise the core components of its cybersecurity practices. It also highlights a number of important lessons for improving cybersecurity practices in the country. The first lesson is that laws and regulations are essential for the deployment of effective responses to future cyber threats. Korea has enacted many national laws related to cybersecurity, these laws have been revised to reflect current realities in Korea. These laws form the basis of national policy and governance for effective cybersecurity responses.  Second, the Korean government has implemented a pan-government national cybersecurity plan, which delineates the development of a national pan-government information protection system encompassing the public, private, national defense, and financial sectors. Under the National Security Council, Korea's top administrative entity for dealing with national cybersecurity, several agencies work closely to protect the country against cyber threats. The Inter-American Development Bank member states should promote and nurture special cybersecurity-related institutions.
