✦ AI Summary
East Security and Naver Cloud are launching development of an AI foundation model specialized in cybersecurity.
The Naver Cloud consortium, in which East Security participated, was selected on the 7th as the final implementing organization for the "Development of an AI Foundation Model Specialized in Cybersecurity" project led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency (NIPA).
The model under development will be used for security monitoring and vulnerability analysis, and it will be built with practical security operations in mind.
East Security and Naver Cloud are launching development of a proprietary AI foundation model specialized in cybersecurity. The Naver Cloud consortium, in which East Security participated, was selected on the 7th as the final implementing organization for the "Development of an AI Foundation Model Specialized in Cybersecurity" project led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency (NIPA).
Accordingly, East Security and Naver Cloud will now move into full-scale development of a security-specialized AI foundation model. The project aims to respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats driven by the spread of generative AI and to secure a domestically developed, security-specialized AI model.
The model under development will be used for security monitoring and vulnerability analysis, and it will be built with practical security operations in mind. Through this effort, the project output will be used in frontline security work.
Within the consortium, East Security will provide malware data accumulated through its endpoint security business, along with cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and incident analysis know-how. It will also be responsible for using data secured through the operation of security products and services for model training and for strengthening response capabilities tailored to Korea's security environment.
Unlike the conventional approach of applying a general-purpose AI model to security work later, this project is moving toward developing a model based on accumulated data from the security solution ALYac. It will focus on using security data from the training stage and aim to incorporate endpoint threat and malware analysis capabilities into model development.
East Security has already launched Alyac Agentic EDR, which applies its proprietary AI foundation model K-EXAONE, and has also signed a business agreement with a domestic AI semiconductor company to develop a next-generation AI security solution. In addition, it is working on applying domestic AI models and AI accelerators to security products.
The security-specialized model from this project is planned to be linked with the company's AI security solutions, and the plan also includes applying domestic AI accelerators. Through this, the company aims to secure a domestic AI security technology foundation encompassing the model, computing infrastructure, and security solutions.
East Security CEO Jung Sang-won said that the launch of Alyac Agentic EDR has proven the company's ability to commercialize AI security services, and added that, based on that, the company will mobilize all of its security data and analysis capabilities to contribute to advancing the nation's cyber defense capabilities.
