SNet Group Strengthens Security Partnership with Cisco... Unveils Integrated Security Strategy for the AI Era

SNet Group, in collaboration with Cisco Korea, held a security conference, consolidating its group-wide security capabilities and officially launching its efforts to capture the security market in the AI era.

SNet Group announced that on July 15, it co-hosted the "Cisco Security Synergy Summit" with Cisco Korea at SETEC in Gangnam District, Seoul. Last year, Cisco organized this event individually for major partners, but this year, SNet Group took the lead in hosting the second edition of the event.

The event was attended by sales and presales staff from four group affiliates: SNet Systems, INSUNG Information, iNetBank, and INSUNG Digital. Participants shared Cisco’s security business achievements and discussed security strategies for responding to AI environments.

During the event, Cisco emphasized that the key to security competitiveness in the AI era lies not in simple processing speed, but in how much the gap between attack and defense can be narrowed. In response, SNet Group presented its vision to organically connect the security capabilities of each affiliate, establishing an integrated defense system that covers everything from access points to data centers and AI application operating environments.

The company plans to block threats at access points, prevent intrusion and lateral movement within data centers, and automatically detect and block abnormal activities in AI application environments, all as part of a group-wide integrated security framework.

In the presentation sessions, each affiliate introduced its project cases. SNet Systems shared its experience building micro-segmentation using Cisco Secure Workload to block attack routes within data centers.

INSUNG Information introduced a case where it applied a global SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution based on Cisco Secure Access to standardize the security environment at its overseas bases.

iNetBank presented a case using Cisco AI Defense to manage the use of so-called "shadow AI"—unauthorized AI services—within the company and to prevent potential data leaks arising from AI applications.

Kim Kicheol, president of SNet Systems, commented, "By having the group directly lead this summit, our intention is to move beyond being just a Cisco partner and become a market leader in Cisco’s security business." He added, "We will consolidate the expertise of each affiliate into a unified group solution and lead the security market in the AI era."

SNet Group plans to use this event as an opportunity to transform the accumulated security capabilities of each affiliate into a group-wide integrated competitive edge and to strengthen its position as Korea’s leading Cisco security partner. The company will continue to expand its competitiveness in the security business moving forward.

This event is significant as it marks SNet Group tying together the security technologies of its affiliates into a single, integrated strategy, thereby intensifying its efforts to enter Cisco’s security market in the era of AI.
