S-1 Takes Action to Prevent Technology Leakage in SMEs

Reducing Burden on SMEs with Subscription Model
"Will Continue to Introduce Converged Security Solutions to Protect SMEs"

An S-1 employee is explaining the information security platform to a customer.

Security company S-1 is attracting market attention by introducing a converged security solution that links information security and physical security to prevent technology leakage in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By offering customized solutions that eliminate the burden for SMEs, which have been reluctant to adopt technology leakage response solutions due to costs and lack of experts, sales have also increased significantly.

According to S-1 (CEO Namgung Beom) on the 19th, the ‘Document Centralization Solution,’ which stores documents on a cloud server to prevent information security incidents in remote work environments, saw an average sales increase of 13% in January and February this year compared to last year. The ‘PC-OFF Solution,’ which manages working hours to ensure they do not exceed 52 hours per week, recorded a 28.7% increase in sales last year compared to the previous year. These solutions are characterized by a subscription model that allows use by paying only a monthly service fee. Including these, S-1’s ‘Information Security Platform’ enables customers to effectively respond to various information security incidents without having to individually search for solutions that fit their work environment, making it popular among SMEs lacking professional personnel.

S-1’s solutions are gaining attention also due to the security environment surrounding SMEs. While hacking targeting companies continues to increase, damages are concentrated on SMEs. The technology protection capability of SMEs is evaluated at about 70% of that of large corporations. Moreover, 88.9% of SMEs find it difficult to actively respond to technology leakage due to issues such as preparing evidence of damage or the time and cost required for legal measures. For SMEs, preventing technology leakage is the best strategy.

Since 2010, S-1 has introduced SME-dedicated solutions to popularize converged security, which was once considered exclusive to large corporations. These solutions focus on preventing information leakage incidents that may occur after working hours. For example, when the security function of S-1’s physical security system is activated, the PCs inside the company can be automatically turned off by linking the system. Additionally, through a mobile app, PC screens can be locked or turned off remotely. This is designed to prevent technology leakage that may occur not only from external attacks but also from employees during late-night hours when monitoring is lax.

Considering the realities of SMEs, S-1 also supports post-incident measures. By subscribing to the ‘Ransomware Damage Recovery Support Service,’ costs for data recovery in the event of ransomware damage can be compensated within the coverage limit. Compensation is also provided for information leakage incidents. The ‘Personal Information Safety Plan Service’ pays legal damages in case of personal information leakage incidents caused by hacking.

An S-1 representative said, "As a leading domestic security company, we have taken the lead in building systems to prevent technology leakage in SMEs," adding, "As a pioneering company providing both physical and information security through converged security, we will do our best to further grow the domestic security market."
