TVING announced on the 2nd that, together with AWS, it will use the 'SIP' program to diagnose and enhance cloud security across its entire cloud infrastructure.

SIP provides a tailored roadmap focused on customers’ actual cloud usage environments, ongoing partnership, and practical implementation support. Improvements are detailed based on an industry-standard, validated framework.

Based on these measures, TVING plans to raise its security level by gradually implementing projects according to priority. Core areas include Identity and Access Management (IAM), detection capabilities, infrastructure protection, data protection, incident response, and automation. The company aims to build integrated governance to enhance visibility across the cloud environment and systematically manage access permissions and exposure to external risks. Additionally, it is refining processes so abnormal activities can be promptly addressed.

Furthermore, TVING will progressively review and expand the adoption of AWS native security services. These include 'AWS Network Firewall' to monitor traffic within the cloud and block malicious activity, 'Amazon GuardDuty' for intelligent threat detection, 'AWS Security Hub' to comprehensively manage alerts and security statuses across multiple services, and 'Amazon Inspector' for automated system vulnerability checks.

A TVING representative commented, "We will continue to create a safer environment for our customers through regular inspections and ongoing improvements." Previously, it was found through a government investigation related to a personal information leak that information from approximately 39.54 million accounts—including active, dormant, and withdrawn accounts—had been exposed.
