  Abstract

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, all areas of economy and society are being connected to cyberspace. In the meantime, 2017 "WannaCry" ransomware appeared1, the U.S. "Colonial Pipe" was infected with ransomware in 2021. and energy supply to the eastern U.S. was suspended. The damage to ransomware, which is spreading around the world, is having a serious impact on national cybersecurity beyond just a technical security problem. In addition, cyberattacks led by hacking organizations behind the state and are gradually being organized and intelligent, which is feared to cause massive social damage. However, the existing research focused only on the technical analysis of malicious code, and there was a lack of macro-level policy research starting with with the question, "How is ransomware affecting national security?" In this paper, we presented a policy improvement plan to increase the level of cybersecurity in Korea by comparing the ransomware response policies of major developed countries and Korea after examining the recent major ransomware damage cases, in-depth analysis of how cryptocurrency and dark app markets affected the spread of ransomware.
