By  Lee Kyung-tak The National Intelligence Service said on the 3rd it will host K-Digital Forensics Week 2025 (Korea Digital Forensics Week 2025) from the 10th to the 12th at COEX Magok (Gangseo District) in Seoul. Held under the theme "Toward a future of trust and fairness, K-Forensics with AI," the event will look ahead to the future of digital forensics amid advances in AI technology and discuss national-level cooperation to establish international standards and build a highly reliable digital evidence system. The event builds on and expands last year's inaugural Digital Forensics Working Day, and is co-hosted by the National Security Research Institute, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, the Korean National Police Agency, the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology, the Korea Digital Forensics Society, Plainbit Co., Ltd., and the international academic organization DFRWS. During the event, a variety of sessions will be offered, including an "academic workshop" with domestic experts from industry, academia and research; a "technology workshop" for public-sector forensics officials; and the Korea Digital Forensics Summit (K-DFS) with participation from domestic specialist companies. In addition to the Korea Digital Forensics Society's winter academic conference, the globally renowned international academic conference DFRWS APAC 2025 will be hosted in Korea for the first time, further strengthening exchanges between domestic experts and overseas scholars. (DFRWS is a nonprofit international digital forensics academic conference held annually in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.) A National Intelligence Service (NIS) official said, "As new AI- and IoT-based digital crimes surge, it is becoming more important to concentrate response capabilities to protect national security and public safety," adding, "Through this large-scale integrated event, the government, industry and academia will work together to raise the reliability and objectivity of digital evidence to international standards and contribute to protecting national strategic technologies and ensuring the safety of the public." ※ This article has been translated by AI.
