Hancom WITH said on the 26th that it launched the continuous authentication solution "Hancom XCiOS."
Hancom XCiOS uses an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system to analyze diverse contextual information in real time—such as user behavior, environment, and device—to verify risk levels. This aligns with the direction of the zero-trust framework that controls access to internal resources under the government's principle of "never trust, always verify," and the National Network Security Framework (N2SF), which applies differentiated security levels based on the importance of information assets.
The solution does not stop at one-time authentication at login; after login, AI continuously evaluates changes in the user's environment and anomalous patterns. When signs of risk are detected, it applies additional authentication (adaptive MFA) according to dynamic security policies. In this process, it reduces unnecessary repeated authentication while raising the security level, the company said.
It also adopted On-device AI that handles the entire process of data collection, training, and evaluation on the user's endpoint to prevent leakage of sensitive biometric information and behavioral data and to lower operating expense burdens.
Hancom WITH's strategy is to expand AI authentication technologies, including Hancom XCiOS, and quantum security technologies as core pillars of next-generation security infrastructure.
Song Sang-yeop, CEO of Hancom WITH, said, "Many customers agree on the need for zero trust but face difficulties in its actual implementation," and added, "Hancom XCiOS connects users, devices, environments, and sessions into a single authentication flow and turns continuous risk assessment into actual authentication execution, becoming a practical zero-trust authentication framework."
He added, "As quantum follows AI to emerge as a new security issue, we will advance our technologies and services with AI authentication and quantum security as the two pillars, establishing ourselves as a competitive security company not only in Korea but also in global markets."
