Cybersecurity corporations Softcamp said on the 25th that it is joining hands with IT infrastructure and security integration specialist DSTI to target the public, finance, and retail markets.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 24th for joint security business cooperation based on zero trust. Under the agreement, the companies will push joint businesses for zero trust-based security services and document security solutions, and collaborate on sales into new markets such as the public, finance, and retail sectors.
Softcamp will supply solutions based on its Zero Trust Security technologies, including document rights management (DRM) and remote browser isolation (RBI), while DSTI will drive market expansion with its IT infrastructure and security system integration experience and sales channels.
The companies cited the transition to the National Network Security Framework (N2SF) and the expanding adoption of AI and cloud in work environments as the backdrop for their cooperation. Since the easing of network separation, differentiated controls by data classification have been required, and an approach that protects documents and data themselves, rather than segmenting networks, has been spreading rapidly, centered on the public and financial sectors. In addition, as the use of Generative AI grows, there is a rising demand to control new exfiltration paths in which confidential documents flow out to external services.
Kim Hyeong-tae, chief executive officer of DSTI, said, "A frequent on-site request from clients was 'how do we protect documents and data,'" and added, "Through cooperation with Softcamp, which has proven zero trust and document security technologies, we can now propose a more complete security framework to clients."
Bae Hwan-guk, chief executive officer of Softcamp, said, "Together with DSTI, which has built infrastructure and security across diverse industries for 26 years, we will broaden the reach of Zero Trust Security in new markets such as the public, finance, and retail sectors."
