Dunamu Launches 'Upside Link' Web3 Security Talent Matching Platform

As the importance of cybersecurity grows daily in the Web3 era, Dunamu, which operates the virtual asset exchange Upbit, has officially launched 'UPSide Link,' an innovative bridge connecting future security talent with companies. This is a recruitment-linked platform for outstanding graduates of the 'UPSide Academy,' a Web3 cybersecurity talent development program jointly operated by Dunamu and Theory. UPSide Academy graduates are verified talents who have completed not only theoretical education but also practical projects by sector, possessing specialized expertise in Web3 and blockchain security. Through 'UPSide Link,' companies can quickly verify and recruit their unique technical capabilities and portfolios. This will significantly contribute to strengthening customer trust by efficiently securing professional personnel who can effectively respond to critical security threats such as hacking or data breaches. If 'UPSide Academy' is a cradle for young security talents, 'UPSide Link' serves as a powerful bridge connecting them with companies. Beyond the one-way operation of existing academies, which merely involve selection, education, and graduation, Dunamu aims to build a comprehensive talent development ecosystem that spans from talent discovery to education, growth, and subsequent support. This platform is expected to alleviate the difficulties faced by companies struggling with the supply of professional personnel amidst increasingly sophisticated security threats, while also significantly contributing to resolving youth unemployment. On the 15th, at the 146th CISO Forum, Dunamu's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Jae-yong Chung, announced the launch of 'UPSide Link' during his presentation on 'Web3 Security and Talent Development.' CISO Jae-yong Chung stated his ambition, saying, "UPSide Link will provide new opportunities for growth and advancement for both young people and companies, contributing to South Korea's leap forward as a future cybersecurity powerhouse." Going forward, Dunamu plans to leverage UPSide Academy and UPSide Link as key drivers to lead the sustained growth of South Korea's Web3 cybersecurity industry and revitalize its ecosystem.
