East Security said on the 2nd that it signed a strategic business agreement with Tatum Security to cooperate on research and development (R&D) and jointly pursue business for a next-generation cloud security platform (CWPP).
The two companies held a signing ceremony at East Security's headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 30th and agreed to pool their technological capabilities to build an innovative integrated security solution to respond to the rapid growth of the cloud security market and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The core of the collaboration is developing a robust CWPP solution that comprehensively protects a variety of cloud workloads, including physical servers, virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions. Through this, they plan to proactively respond to the complexity and threat factors of cloud environments by advancing key features such as ▲ security vulnerability detection ▲ real-time threat blocking ▲ privilege management ▲ regulatory compliance automation.
Based on its accumulated expertise in cloud security posture management (CSPM), Tatum Security plans to complete a system that protects all workloads in the cloud in real time, including CWPP vulnerability checks. East Security will supply its core security module, the Alyac antivirus engine, to Tatum Security's CWPP to significantly strengthen detection and response to malicious threats within cloud workloads. The two companies are also targeting a 2026 release for differentiated capabilities in cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), including "user behavior analysis," "privilege consolidation point visualization," and "least privilege policy recommendations."
Hwang Sang-bok, Deputy Minister of strategic business at East Security, said, "Using this collaboration as a springboard, we will expand the scope of open innovation to the cloud market and contribute to building a next-generation cloud security ecosystem through complementary technology integration," adding, "We will continue to provide broader and more robust cloud security services to customers at home and abroad."
