معرفی
Professor Yoon In-soo is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where he leads research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
His research focuses on:
- Cybersecurity
- Artificial Intelligence
- AI Security Technology
- Cyber Defense Systems
- Software Vulnerability Analysis
- Autonomous Security Solutions
Professor Yoon's work centers on developing AI-powered Cyber Reasoning Systems capable of automatically analyzing, detecting, and remediating software vulnerabilities without human intervention. His research bridges cutting-edge AI techniques with practical cybersecurity applications to protect critical infrastructure.
Professor Yoon recently led Team Atlanta to victory in the DARPA AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) at DEF CON 33, demonstrating exceptional capabilities in autonomous cyber defense technology.
Notable achievements:
- DARPA AI Cyber Challenge Winner (2025) - Led a research team that won the $4 million prize at DEF CON 33 for developing an AI-based Cyber Reasoning System that successfully detected and patched software vulnerabilities
Professor Yoon actively collaborates with researchers from Samsung Research, POSTECH, and Georgia Institute of Technology. His team's CRS technology successfully detected 77% of injected vulnerabilities and patched 61% of them in real time during the competition, while also uncovering 18 previously unknown vulnerabilities in real-world software. This work has significant implications for strengthening security of critical infrastructure including hospitals, water supply, and electricity systems globally.
