In December 2014, he was awarded the Prime Minister\'s Commendation for Information Security Merit in recognition for having contributed to the prompt public-private response against North Korean hacking attacks targeting the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Center. In 2019, he was named the ISLA Information Security Merit at an awards ceremony held in Hong Kong for his research related to human intelligence in North Korea.
