During the recent years, cyber attacks have been increasing both in the private sector and the government. Those include the DDOS cases in 2009, the Blue House cyber attack, bank hackings etc. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly serious. However, there is no basic law related to cyber security at present, and regulations related to cyber security are scattered in various domestic laws. This can lead to confusion in the application of the law and difficult to grasp the regulations related to cyber security. In order to overcome this situation, the bill on the prevention and countermeasures against cyber crisis was initiated in 2006, but it has been abrogated. Since then, it has been repeatedly proposed, but it has been abrogated repeatedly due to the overlapping of existing laws and concerns about infringement of personal information. The most recent initiative was the National Cyber Security Act, which was initiated by the government in January 2017. The act focuses on resolving the absence of a basic law related to cyber security, strengthening its responsiveness in the event of a cyber security crisis, and fostering security strength. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute to the establishment of National Cyber Security legislation as a basic law of cyber security by examining the necessity of National Cyber Security legislation through comparative legal analysis with existing domestic laws related to cyber security and suggesting policy implications.

본 논문에서는 전 세계적으로 사이버공간에서 발생하는 위협 등에 대한 대응으로 다각적인 방식에서의 사이버공간 내 행위에 대한 제재와 통제에 대한 법제변화에 대한 연구를 토대로 최근 사회주의체제 국가들에서의 적극적인 사이버공간 내 규제를 위한 입법동향을 비교·분석하고 있다. 더불어 현재 사이버안보법, 사이버기본법 등 사이버공간상 보안과 안보에 연계된 관련 입법안들이 사회적으로 논의가 지속되고 있는 상황에서 개인정보 등 헌법상 가치를 보호함과 동시에 국가차원의 사전적 방어를 위한 방안으로 '사이버 아이언돔(가칭)' 구축과 이를 위한 제도화를 제안하고 있다.

In the mordern society, the reliance on the cyber domain and the cyber connectivity has been increasingly strengthened. Due to this phenomenon, the cyberterror against critical infrastructures and state organs might lead to fatal consequences. Lately, North Korea's cyberattacks against South Korea's national organizations and financial computer networks are becoming more and more intelligent and sophisticated. The cyberattacks against such critical infrastructures have caused enormous economic loss and social disorder. This paper is designed to examine comparatively the cyberterror related laws and organizations of the advanced countries such as U.S. and U.K. and to draw implications. Although those countries are under different institutional and cultural backgrounds with varying security envrionments, they are identically pursuing measures by establishing government-wide counterterror system for coordination and cooperation. They are also commonly focusing upon creating new organizations equipped with new system and upon enhancing intelligence performance and devising punishment regulations. Korea is lack of framework laws regulating cyber security, having only scattered individual laws. Since such legal base is far from efficient counterterror activities, it is necessary that the legal and policy response of the advanced countries should be closely studied for selective introduction. That will eventually lead to legislation of cyber security law. With such legislation on hand, it is subsequently required to strengthen crisis management for prevention of cyberterror and to create joint response team, cooperating with private organizations.
