Kibo is advancing its AI-based personal information security system.

The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Korea Technology Finance Corporation, Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter referred to as “KIBO”) announced on Wednesday the 17th that it will actively pursue the advancement of its security system based on AI to strengthen the level of protection of personal information in line with the government’s AI transition policy.

This measure is part of a technology-driven security enhancement strategy to create a trustworthy AI administrative service environment for the public and safely protect customer personal information.

Kibo has been conducting a pilot project for AI-based automatic personal information masking for personal information contained in internal documents for a month, starting on the 4th. This project automatically detects and de-identifies key personal information items within document files. After verifying the effectiveness of the implementation, the company plans to consider company-wide implementation in the future.

Furthermore, through its "Electronic Library Enhancement," KIBO plans to introduce a system within the year that automatically identifies and masks personal information contained in electronic documents submitted by customers using AI-based optical character recognition (AI-OCR). This will improve upon the existing method of employee-direct personal information masking and establish a technological security system that proactively prevents the risk of personal information leaks.

Furthermore, KIBO plans to introduce a "mobile electronic notification system" within the year to prevent personal information leaks that could arise from misdelivery or loss of postal notices. This system will deliver notices to customers' smartphones and require identity verification for viewing, which is expected to have a tangible effect on personal information protection and improved work efficiency.

Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of the Korea Institute of Technology (KITO), said, “KITO is continuously pursuing the advancement of its security system to support the realization of an AI government,” and “KITO will continue to thoroughly protect personal information through technology-centered business innovation and continuously strengthen its security system to further increase public trust.”
