[Digital Today reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] Suprema, a company specialising in intelligent access control and physical security solutions, will hold its global partner conference, the Suprema Global Partner Program (SGPP) 2026, for two days from Nov. 11 to 12 at the Lahan Select hotel in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province.

The event will be attended by major partners worldwide, eight overseas subsidiaries across North America, South America, Britain, Europe, the Middle East, India, Japan and Asia, and 300 headquarters employees. Under the theme, "Strengthen core competitiveness and redefine future security," Suprema will unveil its mid- to long-term business strategy at the conference.

Its security strategy highlights the principle of "Security by Design," which prioritises security from the product design stage. It applies security across all layers, from hardware to software and authentication methods, network communications and cloud, and strengthens reliability with data protection capabilities that meet global regulatory requirements such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The company also stressed that its on-premises platform BioStar X and cloud-native platform BioStar Air consistently apply this layered security from edge devices to the platform.

It also presents a next-generation direction for integrated security that can support enterprise environments with "server-based facial matching at a scale of 1:2 million" and that expands the scope of security from access points to entire spaces through AI vision based on facial authentication technology.

Suprema Group Chairman Jae-won Lee (이재원) said, "Access control has now gone beyond a stand-alone system that manages doors and has become one pillar of corporate IT infrastructure." He said, "Customers also evaluate it based on how much they can trust the entire system rather than individual devices." Lee said, "Suprema will expand the security domain from access to entire spaces based on security and biometric authentication capabilities that can be trusted across all layers. It is very meaningful to be able to share this direction with global partners in Gyeongju."
