LG Uplus will strengthen its end-to-end (E2E) security business by cooperating with GS Neotek.

LG Uplus said on Nov. 10 it signed a strategic memorandum of understanding on Nov. 9 with GS Neotek at its Yongsan office building in Seoul to cooperate on the security business.

The companies will build an integrated security system that protects everything from user devices to networks, cloud and servers by combining their network and cloud security capabilities. LG Uplus will provide security monitoring capabilities it has secured through operating a nationwide telecommunications network and data centers. GS Neotek will apply its server and data security management technology accumulated in corporate cloud build-out and operations.

The companies will 추진 a plan to link LG Uplus' cloud-based integrated network and security platform, U+SASE, with GS Neotek's cloud security platform, Security Lens.

Under the arrangement, U+SASE protects user devices, networks and web access sections, while Security Lens checks and manages the security status of servers and data inside the cloud.

Security Lens is a service that combines log analysis and on-premises security inspection functions with a cloud-native application protection platform, or CNAPP. The companies expect this will reduce the burden on corporate customers of building multiple security services individually.

The companies will also expand the scope of cooperation. They plan to broaden cooperation to include a cloud-based integrated account management solution, AlphaKey, an AI-focused data loss prevention (DLP) solution, U+Safe AI, and managed detection and response (MDR) security monitoring. They will also 마련 business cooperation models such as reselling security products and joint sales.

LG Uplus plans to use the agreement to strengthen its "Telco-Native security" strategy of providing integrated offerings from service planning to build-out and operations.

Kwon Yong-hyun (권용현), head of LG Uplus' enterprise division, said, "As work environments become more complex, the burden of building and operating multiple security services separately is growing." He added, "Together with GS Neotek, we will provide an easy and convenient E2E security service."

Nam Gi-jeong (남기정), CEO of GS Neotek, said, "By combining GS Neotek's expertise in cloud build-out and operations with LG Uplus' network security capabilities, we will provide a more complete E2E security environment."
