What About Remote Work Security for a Security Solution Specialist Company?

SK Shielders Operates Remote Access Infrastructure Based on SK Group Remote Security Work Environment Guide

Recently, as incidents involving attempts to leak core technologies during remote work have surfaced, interest in various security measures and related solutions for remote work has increased. In particular, attention is focused on how security solution companies themselves implement security measures for remote work. Since these companies are best equipped to identify security vulnerabilities, there are many aspects that other companies can refer to when establishing remote work security policies. We took a closer look at the remote work security policies of SK Shieldus, the leading company in the domestic cybersecurity field.

On the 5th, SK Shieldus announced that during remote work, it follows operational methods for remote access infrastructure such as VPN (Virtual Private Network) and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) based on the SK Group remote security work environment guide. SK Shieldus is an integrated corporation launched by SK Infosec, a leading domestic cybersecurity company, through the merger with ADT Caps, a representative physical security company, and has been practicing remote work alongside on-site work since the spread of COVID-19.

SK Shieldus applies policies such as account management, access control, authentication management, and information leakage control to prepare for security threats that may arise when connecting to the work network remotely. This is to maintain a security level equivalent to that of the on-site work environment even when accessing the internal network from outside during remote work. They have also introduced document security solutions (DRM) and endpoint detection and response solutions (EDR) by separating the work network and the internet network.

In the network domain, firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are installed and operated. Recently, they have also proactively implemented new security solutions such as Network Detection and Response (NDR). In particular, SK Shieldus explained that since they handle sensitive personal information, they have established policies to manage personal data with restrictions on retention periods at a level comparable to the highly secure financial sector, and they also set document retention periods and operate accordingly.

SK Shieldus conducts quarterly simulated phishing email training. This is because hacking attacks that collect employee account information and then distribute malware via email to take control of systems have been increasing recently. They conduct simulated training to prepare for these ongoing hacking threats. A representative from SK Shieldus emphasized, "As important as introducing the latest security solutions and systems during remote and telework is raising the security awareness of the members."
