Megazone Cloud will host a large-scale partner conference with global software (SW) companies in AI and security to share adoption and hands-on operating experiences of AI and security solutions on corporate sites.
Megazone Cloud said on the 19th that it will hold "ICON 2026" on Apr. 2 at the InterContinental Seoul COEX Parnas Grand Ballroom. Now in its third year, ICON is a technology conference that, based on Megazone Cloud's domestic network of more than 200 global partners—the largest in the country—introduces AI, cloud, and security technologies in one place.
This year's ICON focuses on why AI and security technologies should be introduced in real corporate environments and how they should be designed and operated. Unlike typical conferences that focus on product and solution introductions, it will operate in a way that presents answers to on-site challenges encountered during the adoption of new AI and security technologies by concentrating on why the technologies are needed and how to apply them specifically. To that end, Megazone Cloud will share strategies and cases that, based on its vast global partner ecosystem, resolve across the entire process the tough on-site issues—such as governance and security—that corporations face when building AI.
Twenty-one of Megazone Cloud's global technology partners will take part in the event. Participating companies are: △ in cloud, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services △ in AI and computing, Avita, Articulate, Intel △ in security, Black Duck, SentinelOne, Akamai, Wiz, Zscaler, Check Point, Cloudflare △ in data and observability platforms, New Relic, Splunk, Elastic, Fivetran △ in collaboration and development, GitLab, Notion, Atlassian, TeamViewer.
The opening keynote will examine the security and governance issues that arise as corporations apply AI technologies to actual work and services and will introduce the "Enterprise TRUST Layer" strategy to solve them. This strategy presents five criteria for managing the AI operating environment—△ traceability △ regulatory management △ access control △ standardization △ operational tooling—so that corporations can establish security and control standards throughout the entire process of adopting and operating AI.
Yeom Dong-hoon, CEO of Megazone Cloud, said, "ICON 2026 was prepared with a focus on sharing the security architecture and compliance measures that corporations must have to adopt and operate AI safely," adding, "It will be an execution-focused conference for corporations seeking to maximize the value of AI stably amid a rapidly changing technology environment."
