Security company ESTsecurity Corp. said on the 6th that it signed a strategic business agreement with Arm server technology leader XSLAB Incorporation to cooperate on research and development (R&D) and pursue joint business for next-generation cloud security technologies.
The two companies agreed to pool their technologies to build an integrated security solution in response to the shift to artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud and increasingly sophisticated security threats.
At the core of the collaboration is developing security technology specialized for private clouds that comprehensively protects various AX (AI transformation) workloads, such as Arm-based physical servers, virtual machines, containers, and AI/large language model (LLM) inference nodes, built on a low-power, high-efficiency central processing unit (CPU) architecture.
Through this, the companies plan to proactively respond to threats in increasingly complex cloud environments by strengthening key functions, including ▲ workload vulnerability detection ▲ real-time threat monitoring ▲ access management and trust-based security policy advancement ▲ regulatory compliance and compliance automation.
With this collaboration, ESTsecurity will optimize its endpoint, cloud, and workload security technologies and threat intelligence capabilities for the Arm architecture based on its core security module, the Alyac antivirus engine, and will strengthen its ability to detect and respond to malicious threats across cloud environments.
Kim Beong-hoon, chief technology officer (CTO) of ESTsecurity, said, "Using this collaboration as a springboard, we will expand the scope of open innovation to cloud and AI infrastructure and contribute to building a next-generation cloud security ecosystem through the integration of the two companies' complementary technologies."
