As SKT pushes to strengthen its security capabilities in the cloud business, it announced on the 16th that it had signed a partnership with F5 to deepen cooperation in AI cloud security. Under the agreement, SKT and F5 will pursue a dual partnership that covers both VAR and MSP roles for F5 solutions. Through this, SKT plans to move beyond simple resale of F5 solutions and build a structure that combines management and operations services, while also setting its expansion strategy around integrated managed services.
The background to this initiative is a response to the rapidly growing AI market and a tightening security regulatory environment. Through its cooperation with F5, SKT aims to strengthen AI cloud security collaboration and broaden its response from simple solution supply to a model that also includes managed services.
In this process, F5 Distributed Cloud will help protect connection points between services in complex AI environments and respond to security threats such as data leaks. Based on this, SKT believes it can strengthen security across its business areas, from AI infrastructure to services, and also address domestic security regulatory requirements.
As a result of this cooperation, SKT will secure cloud security capabilities based on F5 Distributed Cloud. The security technologies it will secure include web application firewall (WAF), API security, DDoS attack defense, and Bot attack defense.
SKT plans to combine its existing AI cloud infrastructure operations know-how with F5's security portfolio. Through this, it aims to expand its business into an integrated managed service covering build, operations, and security. It also plans to strengthen its competitiveness in the AI cloud business for enterprise customers.
Hur Min-hui, head of SKT AI Cloud, said SKT is expanding its enterprise AI infrastructure business based on its AI cloud business capabilities and infrastructure assets such as AI data centers, GPUaaS, and network lines. He added that by combining F5's technology and capabilities, the company expects to be able to offer more advanced solutions to large enterprise customers.
