SK C&C Launches Cloud-Based CDN Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] SK Inc. C&C announced on the 7th that it has signed a ‘Cloud Z-based Secure CDN Service Partnership Agreement’ with Cloudflare, a global content delivery network (CDN) service company.

CDN refers to a network service that ensures all content provided online and through apps?from web content, music, games, and videos to various software and application programming interfaces (APIs)?can be used quickly and securely. If the cloud domain is like a factory producing goods and displaying them in stores, then CDN is the system that delivers them safely and swiftly to where consumers are.

Through this agreement, Cloudflare’s secure CDN platform will be applied to SK C&C’s multi-cloud platform ‘Cloud Z.’ Cloud Z customers can use secure CDN services tailored to the characteristics of their digital services anytime without additional investment or changes to security policies.

The two companies also plan to collaborate on operating a Security Operation Center (SOC) that manages layered defenses against frequently occurring DDoS attacks, malicious website attacks, and unauthorized content access. The SOC will share various security and breach incident information with over 250 data centers in 95 countries worldwide operated by Cloudflare.

Additionally, to accelerate commercialization, they will offer secure CDN specialized cloud services needed by customers in digital new growth industries such as finance fintech, gaming, commerce, metaverse, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Customers will be able to use not only simple file transfer CDN services but also CDN acceleration services essential for rapid service deployment, edge computing services, and dynamic content web services?all on a single platform.

Furthermore, a separate security-specialized CDN offering service will be provided for public institutions where security is critical.

Shin Hyun-seok, head of SK C&C Cloud Transformation Group, said, "Cloud secure CDN will be the perfect solution for customers who want the best transmission speed and the latest threat prevention anywhere domestically or internationally," adding, "We will continue to provide fast and secure cloud management services through Cloud Z."
