Securayer and SK Shieldus Innovate the Future of the Security Market!

On the 18th, SK Shieldus announced that it will acquire Securayer, a company specializing in integrated security monitoring solutions based on big data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Established in 2012, Securayer supplies security solutions across various industries, including public institutions, defense, finance, telecommunications, healthcare, and manufacturing. Last year and in the first half of this year, it achieved the number one market share and sales in the security information and event management (SIEM), SOAR, and AI sectors in the domestic procurement market. SK Shieldus completed the acquisition process of Securayer after receiving final approval from the Fair Trade Commission for the corporate merger earlier this month. With this acquisition, SK Shieldus will acquire a 66.7% stake in Securayer, incorporating it as a subsidiary. This investment marks the first large-scale investment since EQT Partners and SK Square began joint management, and the company expects it to be a new driving force for revitalizing the information security market. SK Shieldus is enhancing its security monitoring platform, 'Secudium', based on AI and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) to strengthen remote security monitoring services. In particular, it is focusing on building a security monitoring platform capable of global service expansion by internalizing Securayer's data analysis technology and SOAR features. Additionally, SK Shieldus plans to maintain the core management team, including CEO Jeon Joo-ho of Securayer, to ensure consistency and autonomy in business strategy and maximize synergy between the two companies. Hong Won-pyo, CEO of SK Shieldus, stated, “The acquisition of Securayer will be a significant turning point for SK Shieldus to solidify its status as a leading information security company in South Korea and to enter the global security market,” adding, “We will enhance our security monitoring platform to provide more advanced security services to our customers and actively participate in the innovation of the global information security market.”
