AI-based security operations and analytics platform company Igloo Corporation said on Monday it has secured four patents that address security blind spots in cloud-native environments and improve the operational efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI) security systems.

Igloo Corporation plans to advance its intelligent security response capabilities based on the patented technologies it has secured.

According to the company, 2 cloud security patents it obtained support resolving internal network blind spots in Kubernetes environments and verifying the integrity of container data.

A patent for a "Kubernetes cluster monitoring device based on security trends" tracks the path of an attack from its origin to its destination based on stored information when anomalies occur within a cluster. It also uses AI models to calculate the security importance of each asset and update security rules.

A patent for a "Kubernetes cluster event monitoring device" collects events within a cluster in real time and verifies whether data has been tampered with by comparing it with original data. The remaining 2 AI security patents focus on improving data search accuracy and preventing system processing delays.

Lee Deuk-chun (이득춘), chief executive of Igloo Corporation, said, "As IT environments are being reshaped by cloud-native and AI, detecting security threats inside containers and ensuring the reliability of AI are emerging as new security challenges." He added, "These 4 patents are the result of proving Igloo Corporation's technological capabilities in responding to these challenges, and we will continue to strengthen our intelligent security response capabilities by securing core cloud and AI security technologies."
