Min Kisik, head of SK shieldus, said, "We will examine from the ground up the way we have produced results across cybersecurity and physical security."
Min said this in his first New Year's address since taking office on Jan. 5, saying, "We will move forward as corporations that read the tide of change and proactively set the standards." He noted, "With the evolution of technology, society's and customers' expectations for security are already at a different stage than before," adding, "We cannot rest on our current results, as the very standards by which security must operate are rising."
He went on to emphasize, "Like the red horse, 2026 must be a year when we quickly read the tide of change and first establish what standards and responsibility we will use to deliver services, and those standards will be proven not by declarations but by the accumulated results of how we work and the choices we make."
He laid out three major directions of change for this year. Min said, "First, we will make customer trust the starting point for all decisions and consistently internalize compliance, safety, and security across all work." The plan is to strengthen on-site safety and the risk management system so that procedures serve as the foundation for stable operations rather than a burden on work.
On the business side, the plan is to examine from the ground up the way results have been produced across cybersecurity and physical security. Min explained, "In cybersecurity, we will lead a new market for subscription-based security for small and midsize corporations, and in physical security, we will seek scalable business opportunities in line with changes in population structure and the social environment and strengthen the business portfolio." The organization and talent strategy will also be advanced.
Min said, "We will steadily listen to voices inside and outside the company and responsibly ensure that the company's changes lead in a direction that makes employees' daily lives more solid."
