PIOLINK will build a cloud security model based on ASTK and hyper-converged infrastructure.

The two companies announced on the 11th that they have signed a business agreement to target the hybrid cloud security market. With this agreement, ASTK's Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) will operate on PIOLINK's hyper-converged infrastructure. The key point is the ability to quickly introduce security solutions without building a separate server infrastructure in a hybrid cloud environment.

The two companies plan to expand the market through not only technology linkage but also joint marketing and sales cooperation.

Joo Byeong-jun, president of ASTK, noted, "This collaboration creates a structure that makes it easier to provide cloud-native security based on domestic technology, which can offer substantial cloud operational convenience and security benefits to public, financial, and corporate clients."

Lee Seong-min, vice president of PIOLINK, stated, "Providing security solutions in a form directly installed on hyper-converged infrastructure will give customers significant advantages in terms of construction and operation," adding, "We will jointly create the optimal security model for a more flexible and secure cloud environment."
