KAIS (The Korean Association for Industrial Security) has been hosting the Industrial Security Paper Competition annually since 2013. It has been a domestic competition, but starting from last year, it was held as an international event to gather ideas from and facilitate exchange among researchers, practitioners, and students in the field of industrial security from around the world.

[About the Competition]
In today’s world, advanced technologies have emerged as core strategic assets that go beyond industrial competitiveness to directly impact national economic security. The ongoing digital transformation, accelerated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is rapidly reshaping industrial environments. In this era of industrial innovation—driven by factory automation, smart manufacturing, and enhanced operational efficiency—Operational Technology (OT) is no longer merely a production tool, but a strategic element essential to national economic infrastructure.
In particular, AI-integrated OT systems have become vital enablers of productivity and efficiency, while simultaneously presenting new vectors for security threats. Incidents such as hacking, data manipulation, and system paralysis are no longer isolated technical failures but potential disasters with the capacity to destabilize national industrial foundations. To address these emerging challenges, the 2025 International Industrial Security Paper Competition will be held under the theme:
“AI-Based Operational Technology (OT) Security for Industrial Innovation and Protection in the Digital Transformation Era.”
This competition seeks to gather innovative ideas and in-depth research that contribute to the establishment of robust and sustainable industrial security policies. Scholars, industry experts, and practitioners are invited to participate and advance the global discourse on securing critical technologies in the digital age.
