The Korean Ministry of Science and ICT has selected a consortium led by Naver Cloud Corp. to develop a sovereign AI foundation model focused on cybersecurity, beating a rival consortium led by SK Telecom Co. The Naver Cloud consortium, comprising 32 companies and institutions, aims to create a cybersecurity AI model tailored to South Korea's security environment amid growing cyber risks from rapidly evolving AI technologies.
The government plans to provide the consortium with up to 256 Nvidia B200 GPUs over the next 10 months, with Naver Cloud and LG contributing additional GPUs for model training. The consortium plans to train two cybersecurity AI models, one optimized for defensive tasks and the other for offensive capabilities, using about 830 terabytes of data from various organizations operating critical national infrastructure and industrial systems.
The trained models will be tested in seven strategically important sectors to strengthen AI-based cybersecurity capabilities across critical industries.
