According to AI TIMES, SK Telecom on September 16 signed a partnership with global security company F5 to strengthen cooperation on AI cloud security and became the first MSP partner for F5 Distributed Cloud in South Korea. SKT said it will build a framework that goes beyond resale and combines management and operations with F5, which supplies solutions to more than 90% of the Fortune 500 companies worldwide. The core of the collaboration is to extend security capabilities across AI infrastructure to respond to attacks targeting web applications and APIs, as well as DDoS and bot threats. In particular, it has laid the groundwork to more consistently protect service connection points in increasingly complex multi- and hybrid-cloud environments. SKT plans to combine its existing AI cloud operations capabilities with its security portfolio to expand its business into an integrated managed service covering deployment, operations, and security. Based on this, it aims to boost its competitiveness in the AI infrastructure business for enterprise customers.
Perspective
This collaboration shows that competition in AI infrastructure is shifting beyond simply securing compute resources to bundling operations and security together. In particular, the decision to place more weight on managed services than on resale suggests that enterprise customers are prioritizing integrated operations with clear stability and accountability over adopting individual solutions. As a result, as AI adoption spreads, security is likely to become a core requirement for service selection rather than an added feature.
