In its final evaluation report, Frost & Sullivan highlighted SK shieldus’s AI-based integrated security operation system and customer-centric services as key strengths. In particular, it cited the company’s operational capabilities centered around 'Secudium,' its AI cybersecurity monitoring platform, as a major advantage. Frost & Sullivan also introduced SK shieldus’s end-to-end cybersecurity service portfolio—which covers managed security services (MSS), managed detection and response (MDR), incident response, digital forensics, penetration testing, and security consulting—as a core competitive edge. Furthermore, the company’s strategy for building an agentic AI-based Security Operations Center (SOC) platform for next-generation security monitoring, and the growth potential based on this, received special attention.

The company’s competitiveness was also recognized in terms of customer experience and satisfaction. Frost & Sullivan presented SK shieldus’s AI- and automation-based MDR operation system and a customer retention rate of approximately 95% for MDR as representative examples, analyzing that the company has achieved high customer satisfaction and long-term trust. In addition, the subscription-based service model and flexible service operation system—both of which can be tailored to customer size and security maturity—were highlighted as differentiated competitive factors.

Byungmoo Kim, Head of the Cybersecurity Division (Executive Vice President) at SK shieldus, stated, “This recognition is a result of SK shieldus being acknowledged for its practical response capabilities and security expertise in addressing a wide range of security threats faced by our customers. Moving forward, we will continue to realize an AI-centered security operation system based on Secudium and MDR capabilities, lead next-generation SOC, and provide even greater security value and trust to our customers.”
