HancomWITH said it will take part in the “2026 zero trust adoption pilot project” jointly promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), forming a consortium with Amjin as lead company, SK Broadband, Basestone and DST International.

Through the project, the consortium plans to propose a SASE (Secure Access Service Edge)-based zero trust model to secure high-risk global work environments. It also plans to apply the model in HanaTour’s actual workplace to verify its effectiveness.

SASE is a next-generation security system that integrates network and security functions into a single cloud-based platform. HancomWITH said it is useful for implementing zero trust because it can apply consistent security policies regardless of user location or device.

HancomWITH will take charge of the “identity and data” domain among the six core elements of zero trust in the project. In the identity area, it will support authentication technology that continuously verifies risk by analyzing user behavior, environment and device information in real time using AI even after login. If anomalies are detected, it applies additional authentication (adaptive MFA) under dynamic security policies.

In the data area, it will provide a unified structured and unstructured data encryption solution based on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with cryptographic agility to prepare for security threats in the quantum computing era.

Song Sang-yup (송상엽), chief executive of HancomWITH, said global business environments are changing rapidly as AI-based work automation and the spread of hybrid work expand, and limits to security controls and the risk of insider data leaks are also growing. He said the company will present a zero trust model that can safely protect assets and data under any working conditions.
