Coontec announced on the 3rd that it has formed a partnership with the artificial intelligence (AI) security corporation SPLX.
SPLX has continued its growth compared to the previous quarter, acquiring Fortune 500 corporations as new clients, and recently completed a $7 million seed investment. The company provides an AI security approach based on automated attack scenarios and scanning technology.
SPLX supports AI asset visualization, automated red teaming (simulated attacks), AI vulnerability checks, runtime threat blocking, and governance and compliance in a single platform format. Recently, it introduced the "Real-Time Guardrails" product, addressing security throughout the AI development, deployment, and operational processes.
Through this collaboration, Coontec will include SPLX's AI runtime protection solutions and automated red team solutions in its portfolio and combine them with the supply chain security technology "AEZIZ." This will prepare responses to security threats that can arise throughout the AI software cycle, including prompt injection, data leaks, and large language model (LLM) backdoors.
Coontec plans to expand its application scope across various industries, focusing on finance, defense, smart mobility, smart factories, and critical infrastructure. It also plans to extend its security framework into financial services, in-vehicle AI assistants, industrial robots, and AI in the medical and public sectors.
Coontec CEO Bang Hyuk-jun noted, "In the process of transitioning software to be AI agent-centric in the AX environment of corporations, we will collaborate with SPLX to establish a security framework capable of responding from development to operation, beyond the limits of existing methods."
