KT Cloud Obtains CSAP Certification for Its Own Platform, Accelerates Entry into Public Sector Market

Full In-House Development and Operation with Proprietary Technology

KT Cloud announced on the 30th that it has obtained the Cloud Security Assurance Program (CSAP) certification for the KT Cloud Platform. With this achievement, KT Cloud plans to actively target the public cloud market by leveraging its multi-availability zone (AZ) based infrastructure.

CSAP is a security certification that cloud service providers must obtain in order to offer services to the government or public institutions. The KT Cloud Platform is a next-generation infrastructure platform that implements the entire process—from platform design and development to operation—using proprietary technology based on global standard open-source technologies. Through this approach, the platform and its services are internalized using a cloud-native method, thereby securing both scalability and stability.

In particular, infrastructure operations are automated and standardized based on Kubernetes, an open-source technology for automating application deployment in cloud environments. This enables integrated management of both server (VM) and container environments on a single platform. As a result, seamless integration and linkage with AI infrastructure based on graphics processing units (GPUs) is now possible.

Additionally, a multi-region structure has been adopted to enhance service continuity, as demand for disaster recovery (DR) and redundancy across cloud services continues to grow. KT Cloud also plans to gradually implement a multi-availability zone structure, establishing a multi-region system between Seoul and North Gyeongsang Province, and a multi-AZ framework between Yongsan and Mokdong in Seoul, all based on its own data centers.

By integrating with AI platforms and external solutions, KT Cloud is now able to provide services optimized for customer needs in a multi-cloud environment. This, in turn, is expected to reduce dependence on specific vendors and enhance cost efficiency and technological competitiveness.

An Jaeseok, Head of Technology at KT Cloud, said, "The KT Cloud Platform is a core infrastructure for transforming customer IT environments into a cloud-native structure, powered by KT Cloud's global-level technological capabilities. Through a highly available infrastructure based on multi-AZ, we will further enhance service reliability and support customers' stable cloud operations."
