Hyundai Motor launches 1st group-level cyberthreat team: sources
Yonhap | English | News | Nov. 19, 2025 | Cyber Attacks and Data Loss
Hyundai Motor Group has established its first centralized cyberthreat response team to address rising cybersecurity risks across its various industrial sectors. The team, led by Yang Ki-chang, head of the group's Integrated Security Center, will manage vulnerability assessments, threat monitoring, and incident responses for all Hyundai affiliates. This initiative replaces the previous approach where individual units handled cyberattack responses separately.
The creation of this group-level team aims to prevent industrial hacking incidents, which have been prevalent recently in sectors such as telecommunications, from affecting Hyundai's affiliates. It also prepares the group for long-term cybersecurity risks associated with internet-connected electric vehicles. Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp., the group's primary automotive units, have significantly increased their cybersecurity investments, spending a total of 62.14 billion won (US$42.5 million) in 2025, marking a 46.1 percent increase from 2024.
Industry experts highlight that cyberattacks on connected cars could extend beyond vehicles to compromise related network systems, posing direct safety risks to drivers and pedestrians. As a result, enhancing cybersecurity for connected and electric vehicles has become essential for Hyundai Motor Group's ongoing product development and safety strategy.
