Hancom WITH said on the 15th that it will join the "2026 zero trust adoption pilot project," jointly promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).
The project aims to apply zero trust technologies and solutions to the actual systems and services of domestic private companies to discover and spread a variety of security models. Hancom WITH formed a consortium with Amzine, SK Broadband, Basestone, and DST International.
The consortium plans to propose a "zero trust model based on SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) to ensure security in high-risk global work environments." SASE is a next-generation security framework that integrates network and security functions into a single cloud-based platform, enabling consistent security policies regardless of the user's location or device.
Hancom WITH also plans to verify the effectiveness of the model by applying it to the actual work site of demand company Hanatour.
In this project, Hancom WITH will take charge of the "identifier, identity, and data" area among the six core elements of zero trust. In the identifier and identity area, it will support authentication technology that continuously verifies risk by analyzing user behavior, environment, and device information in real time with AI even after login. If anomalies are detected, additional authentication (adaptive MFA) will be applied according to dynamic security policies.
In the data area, it will provide a PQC (post-quantum cryptography)-based structured and unstructured integrated data encryption solution with cryptographic agility to prepare for security threats in the quantum computing era.
Song Sang-yeop, CEO of Hancom WITH, said, "As AI-based work automation and the spread of hybrid work rapidly change the global business environment, the limits of security controls and the risk of insider information leaks are growing together," and added, "We will present a zero trust model that can securely protect assets and data under any working conditions."
