RaonSecure Newly Selected as "2026 KOSDAQ Rising Star"… Spotlight on AI Security and Digital ID Growth Potential

RaonSecure, an AI-based digital trust infrastructure company, has been newly selected as one of the “2026 KOSDAQ Rising Stars” by the Korea Exchange. The company has been recognized for its growth potential, as it is expanding its business areas beyond biometric authentication and digital identity verification to agentic artificial intelligence (AI) security and post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

RaonSecure announced on August 14 that it was newly selected for the 2026 KOSDAQ Rising Stars program organized by the Korea Exchange. This year, a total of 18 companies have been selected, among which eight are new to the program.

The KOSDAQ Rising Stars program is a system by the Korea Exchange that discovers and supports KOSDAQ-listed companies with outstanding technology, financial stability, and growth potential.

RaonSecure is expanding its digital authentication and security business with a focus on biometric authentication, integrated access management (IAM), and blockchain-based digital ID solutions. In particular, the company has secured the capability to operate large-scale authentication infrastructures by applying its blockchain-based digital ID platform technology to mobile ID services used by approximately 45 million people in Korea.

RaonSecure provides technology for national-level digital identity verification services such as mobile resident registration cards, driver’s licenses, and national veterans registration cards, thereby strengthening its position in the domestic digital ID market.

The company is also expanding its overseas business. The number of monthly active users of its biometric authentication platform supplied to Japan surpassed 10 million this year. RaonSecure plans to expand its digital authentication and identity verification business to Southeast Asia and Latin America, leveraging its business in Japan.

In the next-generation security sector, agentic AI is emerging as a new growth engine. RaonSecure is developing five key agentic AI security solutions, including autonomous security operations, agentic AI management, AI guardrails, and AI hacker prevention systems, and plans to release them sequentially starting from the third quarter of this year.

Through these efforts, the company aims to manage the identities, permissions, and activities of AI agents, as well as expand its business scope to automated threat detection and analysis, response, and vulnerability assessment using AI.

In the post-quantum cryptography business, the company has secured references within the financial sector. Recently, it supplied PQC solutions to NH Nonghyup Property & Casualty Insurance and KDB Life Insurance, meeting the demand for next-generation encryption systems in the financial industry.

RaonSecure’s strategy is to extend its identity verification and access control technologies, accumulated through its biometric authentication, IAM, and digital ID businesses, to the AI environment. The company aims to become a “digital trust infrastructure” firm by managing not only the identities and permissions of people and systems, but also those of AI agents.

A RaonSecure representative said, “Our selection as a KOSDAQ Rising Star acknowledges our technological competitiveness and business achievements in biometric authentication and digital ID, as well as the growth potential of our next-generation security strategy for the era of AI and quantum computing. We will continue to enhance our competitiveness in AI security, PQC, and digital ID, and grow into a leading global digital trust infrastructure company.”
