The government24 and other major public information systems can now utilize private clouds.
According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's National Information Resource Management Agency on the 19th, KT Cloud and Samsung SDS have passed the National Intelligence Service 'A-level' security verification for the first time in the private cloud sector.
In the past, high-priority services like government24 could only use the agency's own data centers or public clouds due to the absence of private clouds that met security requirements.
However, based on this security verification result, major digital administrative services requiring 'B-level' or higher security will now be able to utilize private clouds.
KT Cloud and Samsung SDS are part of a 'Public-Private Partnership (PPP)' where private companies lease public facilities that meet security requirements to provide services.
Currently, security verification for NHN Cloud is also underway, so the number of private clouds capable of providing services for 'A-level' public tasks is expected to increase to three.
In addition, the National Information Resource Management Agency began a public-private partnership project by executing a bid to lease part of the Daegu Center data center to private cloud corporations last March.
The public-private partnership project allows corporations to autonomously build resource pools while utilizing the basic infrastructure, such as administrative work networks and physical security, provided by the agency to offer private cloud services to administrative and public institutions.
As a result, private cloud corporations that have leased space can now provide their cloud services to public institutions without additional investment in communication networks and physical security required for 'A-level' administrative tasks.
