Korea to train 3,000 ‘cyber sheriffs’

Korea seems quite ahead in the security game.

The government will train 3,000 “cyber sheriffs” by next year to protect the country from future cyber attacks, officials said yesterday.
Cyber sheriffs are trained experts capable of maintaining cyber security for businesses from cyber attacks and malicious hackers. The government plans to encourage colleges to open intensive courses to train cyber experts. Graduates of the courses will be hired by government offices and businesses in the future, officials said.
According to the plan, the National Intelligence Service is to take a leading role when cyber attacks are launched. They will cooperate with other government offices and businesses to minimize damage from the possible “cyber terrorists.”
