KT said on the 25th that it has upgraded Clean Zone, its distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) defense solution, to respond to cyberattacks. Clean Zone is a security service that blocks malicious traffic when a DDoS attack occurs and sends only normal traffic to customer servers to prevent service outages.
KT more than doubled its defense capacity through this upgrade. The company said the service can remain stable even during large-scale traffic attacks.
In particular, this update applies an artificial intelligence (AI)-based real-time learning engine. AI analyzes traffic patterns that occur in customers' everyday business environments and applies AI-based automatic DDoS attack detection to minimize false positives and enable precise DDoS detection and response.
It also introduced a new customer-dedicated real-time dashboard. The company said it improved convenience so that security managers can directly monitor traffic inflow status and whether attacks are occurring.
Going forward, KT plans to gradually expand a security framework based on "zero trust" by linking it with next-generation security architectures such as KT SASE and Flexline ZTNA.
Myung Je-hoon, Deputy Minister of KT Enterprise Division Service Product Headquarters, said, "KT aims to go beyond providing security solutions to become a strategic partner that protects customers' business continuity," and added, "We will continue to strengthen intelligent security technologies based on a stable network so that public corporations and customers can focus on their core duties."
