SK Shielders has joined hands with the Inno-Biz Association and DB Insurance to strengthen the cybersecurity capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
SK Shielders said Wednesday that it signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding with the Inno-Biz Association and DB Insurance on the 20th at its Pangyo headquarters to enhance the cyber resilience of SMEs.
As ransomware, business email compromise, and supply chain attacks increasingly leverage AI, the burden on SMEs, which struggle to establish their own security teams, is growing. The level of security required by large corporations and public institutions from their subcontractors is also trending upward.
The three parties plan to build a support system that connects everything from preventing cyber threats to detection and response, as well as recovery and compensation after an incident.
SK Shielders will provide free security consulting and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to approximately 7,800 member companies of the Inno-Biz Association. It will also support 24-hour threat monitoring and incident response.
MDR is a service that goes beyond simple management, with security experts directly detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats. SK Shielders provides this service based on its AI-based security operations platform, "Secudium," and its incident response organization, "Top-CERT."
DB Insurance will provide cyber insurance to SMEs, supporting them in addressing potential financial burdens and restoring normal business operations after a breach. The Inno-Biz Association will assist member companies in utilizing security services and insurance, and jointly promote security education and awareness improvement programs.
Choi Jae-ho, head of the Cyber Technology Center at SK Shielders, stated, "With the spread of ransomware, supply chain attacks, and AI-based attacks, the security risks for SMEs have increased significantly." He added, "Based on our AI-based MDR services and incident response experience, we will support SMEs in building a secure IT environment."
