SK shieldus said on the 26th that it will work with global testing and certification body TÜV SÜD Korea to support OT/ICS security compliance for corporations expanding overseas.
To strengthen its operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) security business, SK shieldus signed a business agreement with TÜV SÜD Korea and will bolster its ability to respond to global cybersecurity regulations.
As key regulations such as the European Union (EU) Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), and the United States power system cybersecurity regulations (NERC-CIP) expand, security requirements for industrial facilities and operational technology environments are rising. Accordingly, the importance of security certifications and compliance measures, including international standard IEC 62443, is also growing.
Through this agreement, SK shieldus will provide OT security assessments and consulting, while TÜV SÜD Korea will support testing, audits, and certification services in line with global standards. The two companies plan to expand their collaboration from certification support to joint marketing.
Lee Jae-woo, head of the Cyber Technology Division at SK shieldus, said, "Responding to global security regulations is a core element of corporate competitiveness," and added, "We will help domestic corporations effectively meet overseas regulations."
