AI cloud and databases (DB) solution corporations SKAI worldwide (SKAI) said on the 16th that it has joined hands with OliveTech, a security storage specialist, to develop next-generation security technology that fundamentally blocks data deletion and tampering.
The two companies signed a strategic business agreement on the 14th and began jointly developing "K-WORM DBMS," which combines SKAI worldwide's PostgreSQL-based enterprise DBMS "AgenSQL" with OliveTech's WORM security storage technology.
As the government pursues a policy to convert 90% of existing information systems to Cloud-Native by 2030, demand for data integrity has grown, centered on the public and financial sectors.
The crux of this collaboration is to extend WORM technology, which had remained at the storage or file system level, into the databases themselves. The plan is to build a structure in which, once data is stored, deletion or modification is difficult not only inside the DB but also at the operating system level, thereby strengthening original log and history preservation, internal control, and non-repudiation functions.
OliveTech holds more than a 95% share of the PDS market and has supplied its products to over 500 public and financial institutions. Going forward, the two companies plan to expand the scope of application to high-trust data markets such as public administration, financial transaction, medical records, and legal evidence through prototype development and a testbed.
Shin Jae-hyeok, CEO of SKAI worldwide, said, "We will secure competitiveness in the global data security infrastructure market with a domestically developed WORM DBMS."
