SecureLink (CEO Junyong Ko) announced on the 19th that it has signed an MOU with ESTsecurity (CEO Jin-Il Jung) and CySecLab (CEO Byung-Hoon Kang) to develop a zero-trust-based endpoint integrated security platform.


 

Previously, SecureLink formed a consortium with ESTsecurity and KAIST CySecLab and was selected for the "2024 K-Security Alliance Integrated Security Model Development Pilot Project," which is supervised by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

The K-Security Alliance Integrated Security Model project is part of the Ministry of Science and ICT's next-generation strategy aimed at expanding the domestic security market and securing a global technology advantage. This will be achieved through the cooperation and integration of companies with excellent security technologies to create globally competitive products and services. The project aligns with the global trend of integrating security technologies, which is already actively pursued overseas. The pilot project will start in 2024, with continuous government support and policy expansion expected annually.

Through the MOU, the three companies aim to develop a next-generation security platform to respond to the latest cyber security threats, leveraging their expertise in zero-trust and endpoint integrated security. This initiative will embody the government's next-generation information security philosophy and promote collaboration in the domestic and international markets, with the goal of entering the global zero-trust-based endpoint market.

Additionally, the project plans to implement an open API architecture that can be immediately applied to various user environments and pursue collaboration with various domestic and international security technology companies.

Jun-Yong Ko, CEO of SecureLink, stated, “Through this collaboration, we aim to accelerate our entry into the growing global markets such as the United States and Japan, with a zero-trust integrated endpoint solution capable of endpoint integrity verification and user-specific execution access policies.”
