SK Telecom said it provided stable communications services during a cherry blossom festival that ran through April 7 by applying an AI-based core network control system. SKT said 44.9 terabytes of mobile data were used last weekend alone at Seokchon Lake and Yeouido festival areas, 1.5 times the previous weekend. It operated its SPIDER system and the A-One network operating system to respond in advance and take immediate action through real-time monitoring.

Igloo Corporation said on March 26 that its hybrid extended detection and response platform, SPiDER ExD, obtained Grade 1 GS (Good Software) certification and a security function verification certificate from South Korea\'s National Intelligence Service. The company said SPiDER ExD supports its autonomous security operations centre initiative. It also plans to speed support for national and public-sector N2SF security framework deployments and expand integrations through partnerships.
