Genians Develops 'AI-Based K-Security Integrated Platform' Through Ministry of Science Project... Targets Middle Eastern Market

Genians, a cybersecurity specialist, has completed the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based K-Cybersecurity Integrated Management Platform through a national research project backed by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and is now targeting the Middle Eastern market.

Genians announced that it has completed the development of the “Nexus Framework” as an achievement of the national project “Development of Core Technologies for International Cooperation in Cybersecurity,” supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT. The platform was first released at GISEC (Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference), a leading security exhibition in the Middle East held in Dubai.

This project was designed to develop security technologies tailored to overseas market demand and support domestic companies’ global expansion. Genians has been leading the research and development since July 2024, aiming to build a managed security system optimized for the Middle Eastern market.

The Nexus Framework is an open security integration platform that enables the connection and management of various security solutions previously operated separately, all from a single platform. It integrates Genians’ Network Access Control (NAC), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and integrated endpoint security platform “Insights E,” and provides a security operations environment supporting the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA).

AI-based security operations automation has also been incorporated. The platform includes Data Lakehouse, AI assistant, integrated monitoring, and event analysis technologies, allowing AI to analyze and process large-scale data and events collected from multiple security solutions.

The goal is to reduce threat response times at Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and improve work efficiency for operations staff. As generative AI-fueled cyberattacks become more sophisticated, Genians plans to strengthen monitoring systems by integrating security data and automating response processes.

In the Middle Eastern market, demand is growing for “Digital Sovereignty” to secure control over data and security infrastructure, as well as for sovereign AI security solutions. Genians intends to expand its market presence by establishing sovereign security systems utilizing the Nexus Framework, tailored to the security regulations and local requirements of each country.

Genians has already secured over 70 local customer references in the Middle East. By leveraging its existing client base along with achievements from this national project, the company aims to go beyond a single security product by combining various Korean-made security solutions on the platform and expanding it as a hub to support global expansion for K-security companies.

Kye-Yeon Kim, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and head of Genians’ U.S. branch, stated, “The significance of this national project lies in creating a global platform that unites domestic security technologies, surpassing the limitations of single-product global expansion. Based on over 70 local Middle Eastern references, we will interconnect excellent domestic solutions within the platform, positioning it as a leading outpost and flagship platform for K-security to jointly advance into global markets.”
