[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] LG CNS has joined hands with AhnLab to target the cloud security market.

LG CNS announced on the 18th that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for cloud security business cooperation with AhnLab on the 16th at LG CNS headquarters in Magok, Seoul.

The two companies will jointly develop cloud-specialized security packages and promote cloud security business including cloud security technology cooperation.

LG CNS has experience in cloud security business across various industries such as manufacturing, finance, telecommunications, chemicals, and aviation, while AhnLab has accumulated 20 years of security threat response technology and know-how.

Going forward, the Red Team white-hat hackers and ASEC will collaborate to conduct simulated penetration tests and pre-inspect security vulnerabilities in client cloud systems. Afterwards, they plan to devise solutions for security threats to defend client cloud systems.

Hyun Shinkyun, Vice President of LG CNS DTI Business Division, said, "Together with security specialist AhnLab, we will build a close technical cooperation ecosystem to provide cloud security services that customers can trust."

Kang Seokgyun, CEO of AhnLab, said, "Through this cooperation, we will combine AhnLab’s cloud security expertise with LG CNS’s cloud security service know-how to provide a safe cloud environment."
