Naru Security and Viaweb said on the 6th that they unveiled a "zero-trust hosting" model for small and midsize businesses.
The partnership was pursued to close security gaps at small businesses that lack security staff and budgets, and is characterized by a design that enables threat detection and response at the hosting infrastructure stage without separate security solutions or a dedicated team.
Through a business agreement, the two companies will promote: ▲ joint development and operation of hosting-based zero-trust services ▲ security data collection and threat analysis ▲ joint sales and marketing.
"Zero-trust hosting" is a model that combines Naru Security's subscription-based breach assessment service "ZeroTiCA" and Viaweb's hosting infrastructure. It operates on a structure that detects anomalies based on network data and has security experts verify whether an actual breach has occurred.
Accordingly, user corporations can receive threat detection and response services simply by using servers and hosting services.
As cyberthreats such as ransomware, personal data leaks, and web shell attacks increase, small businesses have been noted as being in a security blind spot due to limited response capabilities. In particular, as cloud use and remote work spread and attack paths diversify, the need to build security frameworks is growing.
The two companies plan to use this partnership to reduce the burden of adopting security for small businesses and to promote the spread of an integrated security model that provides protection from the infrastructure stage.
Park O-chan, CEO of Viaweb, said, "This will be a catalyst for hosting services to evolve beyond simple infrastructure provision into a form with security built in by default," adding, "We will help customers run their businesses in a safer environment."
Kim Hyuk-jun, CEO of Naru Security, said, "This service was designed in light of the reality that small businesses find it difficult to operate their own security frameworks," adding, "We will work to spread a new security model that provides protection at the infrastructure stage."
