Upbit Unveils Talent Matching Platform 'UPSide Link' for Cybersecurity Professionals

Dunamu, the operator of the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, unveiled on the 16th 'UPSide Link', a hiring-linked platform that matches young talents set to lead the future of Web3 cybersecurity with prospective companies.

The talent pool for 'UPSide Link' consists of graduates from Korea's first Web3 cybersecurity talent development program, 'Upside Academy', which is jointly operated by Dunamu and Theori. This select group, having completed not only theoretical education but also hands-on projects in various fields, possesses specialized expertise in cyber and Web3/blockchain security.

Through 'UPSide Link', companies can review the strengths, skills, and portfolios of Web3 cybersecurity talents who have completed Upside Academy and recruit outstanding professionals. The fast and efficient recruitment process enables firms to secure proven specialists, greatly enhancing their capacity to respond to security crises such as hacking and data breaches that are directly linked to customer trust.

Dunamu aims to move beyond the conventional one-way operation of academies that stop at selection, education, and graduation, by establishing a practical and strategic talent development framework encompassing discovery, training and growth, and continual follow-up support. Leveraging Upside Academy and UPSide Link, the company plans to drive the growth of the domestic Web3 cybersecurity industry and take the lead in vitalizing the ecosystem.

Jae-yong Jeong, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Dunamu, remarked, "UPSide Link offers new opportunities for growth and advancement to both young talents and companies," and added, "As reflected in Dunamu's corporate vision of nurturing future generations through technology and finance, we will give our best so that the Republic of Korea can rise as a powerhouse in future cybersecurity."
