Naru Security, a cyber threat management company, said on Tuesday it has established a threat response center and an artificial intelligence (AI) center and hired experts in each field to step up upgrades to its “next-generation threat management services.”

Naru Security hired Lee Jae-kwang as head of the threat response center, who has on-site incident analysis capabilities, and Cho Soo-gon as head of the AI center to lead AI technology.

Before joining Naru Security, Lee led incident investigations for 14 years at the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). He holds a master's degree in mathematical sciences from Seoul National University and has served as a director at the Digital Forensics Association, an adjunct professor at Sogang University and a specialist instructor for information security workforce training. He will lead the development of a precision analysis system to identify hidden threats that existing security systems can easily miss and the establishment of intrusion assessment standards.

Cho led data analytics strategy for 24 years in the financial sector, including at AIA Life, Hana Insurance and LINA Life. He will oversee building an “intelligent threat analysis system” that can be applied immediately to customers’ security environments.

Naru Security's AI center is focusing on the “Master Twin Project (MTP; Master Twin Project),” which turns the judgment criteria and analysis know-how of skilled experts into data assets and trains AI on them to advance more sophisticated threat analysis technologies. It will also combine large language models (LLM) with AI agent-based machine learning technology, using AI not as a means to replace analysts but as an amplification tool to maximise expert capabilities.

The AI center plans to focus in the first half of this year on upgrading intrusion assessment services and building an LLM environment. In the second half, it plans to pursue automation of analysis and multilingual reporting to strengthen the scalability of its security-as-a-service business and its global competitiveness.

Kim Hyuk-jun (김혁준), Naru Security's chief executive, said, “By adding top-tier human resources to our network threat analysis technology, we have completed the puzzle to enhance the competitiveness of the next-generation security platform.” He added, “Going beyond the technology itself, we will leap into a global security company with an AI threat management service that creates business value.”
