SK shieldus marked the first anniversary of CEO Min Gi-sik's inauguration by announcing on the 10th its AI-centered direction for future business.
SK shieldus is making AI the core driver of future growth and is expanding the scope of AI technology across all areas of physical and cybersecurity. In physical security, it is raising the level of customer response by highlighting an AI CCTV (closed-circuit TV) that received Korea's first private-sector video information processing device certification from the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA).
In cybersecurity, it is strengthening threat detection and response through the AI-based security monitoring platform Secudium and managed detection and response (MDR). It is also pursuing research and development of new AI security technologies through its in-house expert group.
In addition, the company plans to enhance employees' expertise by operating internal seminars and various training programs that strengthen capabilities, and to systematically develop talent to lead the future organization by building a leadership pipeline.
SK shieldus will also accelerate expansion into future businesses. In physical security, it plans to broaden service areas in line with social structural changes, such as senior care and unmanned stores.
In cybersecurity, it plans to introduce an agentic SOC (security operations center) and unveil a next-generation security operations framework based on AI security technology.
CEO Min Gi-sik said, "The spread of AI is demanding fundamental change in the security industry," adding, "security will expand beyond preventing threats to managing customers' business risks." Min added, "SK shieldus will broaden the role of security that customers need, based on the experience accumulated across physical and cybersecurity."
Meanwhile, since taking office last year, Min has focused on strengthening integrated capabilities that encompass physical and cybersecurity. The company has reestablished safety as a core task of corporate management and reinforced field-centered safety management systems. It created a safety and health task force (TF) under the chief safety and health officer (CSPO) and expanded safety culture improvement activities with direct employee participation. ·
