Lee Jong-hyuk, a professor of information security at Sejong University, was appointed as its inaugural convenor.The appointment marks a key victory for Korea, which has actively lobbied for standardized cybersecurity protocols since 2025. With the formal establishment of WG10, ISO officially initiated work on its first baseline security document, designated ISO/AWI 26390 with the title "Cybersecurity requirements for uncrewed aircraft systems", led by Lee. The project aims to establish binding international technical benchmarks to mitigate growing global risks, including video feed interception, remote hijackings and GPS spoofing.The move underscores Korea’s rising influence in setting global technology standards.
