Cyber attacks are threats to national security. Today, cybersecurity threats have various types, the theft or spread of privacy and national secret, the realization of direct attacks to infrastructure and the hacktivism with political or social objectives. Furthermore, There are special situations in South Korea because of North Korea's threats. Thus, It is necessary to handle cybersecurity as a kind of national security problem. It is a time to identify problems of governance system in cybersecurity and to improve related Acts and subordinate statutes. There are several tasks for legal improvement for governance system in cybersecurity. They are improving legal bases for the roles of the relevant authorities in cybersecurity, consolidating national joint response to cyber accidents, establishing and vitalizing information sharing system, constructing foundation of cybersecurity through industry promotion and manpower development, and acquiring defensive tools by enhancement research an development. In order to address these challenges, it is necessary to pay much attention to enactment and to revision laws and to practice legislative procedure.

Cyber attacks threaten the national security in this day and age. The government of the Republic of Korea recently released the National Cyber Security Comprehensive Countermeasures as a new cybersecurity policy. But current legal system cannot provide legal basis for the implementation of such measures. The current legal system related to cybersecurity is applied in each sector, thus the governance system in cybersecurity is separate. So there are many problems in the governance system in cybersecurity. To solve these problems fundamentally, it is righter to make a new cybersecurity law than to revise existing laws. Meanwhile, lawmakers proposed some bills in Congress to strengthen the cybersecurity in Korea in 2013. It will increase possibility of legislation of cybersecurity act to make a law through the analysis of these bills and to derive the essential elements from those. and to reflect these in the new cybersecurity act.

Recent cyberthreats are emerging as big issues that need to be addressed to both developed countries and South Korea. Our government has implemented and established comprehensive measures whenever major incidents were happened. It is still insufficient, even though the national and social level of cybersecurity are improved with continuous investments and efforts to strengthen the country than in the past. Comprehensive measures have been exposed to limit the effectiveness because they are focused on short-term measures. In this paper, we try to analyze the problems of incidents and assess the implementation process of establishing comprehensive measures in order to suggest ways ultimately to improve the country's overall level of cybersecurity.

As the IT environment becomes more sophisticated, various threats and their associated serious risks are increasing. Threats such as DDoS attacks, malware, worms, and APT attacks can be a very serious risk to enterprises and must be efficiently managed in a timely manner. Therefore, the government has designated the important system as the main information communication infrastructure in consideration of the impact on the national security and the economic society according to the 'Information and Communication Infrastructure Protection Act', which, in particular, protects the main information communication infrastructure from cyber infringement. In addition, it conducts management supervision such as analysis and evaluation of vulnerability, establishment of protection measures, implementation of protection measures, and distribution of technology guides. Even now, security consulting is proceeding on the basis of 'Guidance for Evaluation of Technical Vulnerability Analysis of Major IT Infrastructure Facilities'. There are neglected inspection items in the applied items, and the vulnerability of APT attack, malicious code, and risk are present issues that are neglected. In order to eliminate the actual security risk, the security manager has arranged the inspection and ordered the special company. In other words, it is difficult to check against current hacking or vulnerability through current system vulnerability checking method. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for extracting diagnostic data regarding the necessity of upgrading system vulnerability check, a check item that does not reflect recent trends, a technical check case for latest intrusion technique, a related study on security threats and requirements. Based on this, we investigate the security vulnerability management system and vulnerability list of domestic and foreign countries, propose effective security vulnerability management system, and propose further study to improve overseas vulnerability diagnosis items so that they can be related to domestic vulnerability items.
