[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] East Security announced on the 5th measures to prevent recurrence related to the detection error incident of its antivirus program 'Alyac'.


East Security stated on its official website that day, "We feel a heavy responsibility to ensure that problems caused by ransomware detection errors never happen again," and announced measures to prevent recurrence.


The measures include four main points: ▲strengthening the ransomware testing process ▲improving the strategic distribution process ▲advancing the early error detection and blocking system ▲enhancing the real-time response system.


First, to strengthen the ransomware testing process, they plan to refine the pre-verification system before applying ransomware detection technology to ensure sufficient validation in various user environments. Additionally, they will strengthen cooperation with internal and external professional organizations and academia to secure testbeds for pre-inspection of program safety.


To improve the strategic distribution process, they will elaborate distribution processes under various conditions and enhance the performance of the distribution system that can monitor and control the entire process of antivirus program distribution in detail.


Furthermore, to increase the performance of the early error detection and blocking system, they will improve a statistical monitoring system that quickly recognizes malfunctions including errors during ransomware detection and enables proactive responses. They will also establish an automated blocking system according to the established scope and level of errors.


They also presented improvements to the real-time response system. East Security plans to strengthen the response structure for the fastest recovery of the normal engine by linking with the AI deep learning-based malicious code threat response technology solution, Threat Inside.



On this day, East Security also promised social responsibility by returning a portion of corporate profits. The company stated, "In addition to the measures to prevent recurrence, as part of long-term responses and awareness enhancement against advanced security threats, we have additionally prepared corporate social responsibility and role plans to return a portion of corporate profits to society."
