'EDR Leader' Genieons, 86% Market Share in Public Procurement Sector

Active Response to National Cybersecurity Threats
Increasing EDR Demand from Core Infrastructure and Central Government to Local Governments
Competitive Edge with Purely Domestic Technology Developed In-House

Cybersecurity company Ginious announced on the 24th that it recorded an 86% market share in the public EDR market procurement sector as of the cumulative third quarter this year. The cumulative number of customers has surpassed 160, holding the largest customer base in the country.

Since major government ministries adopted EDR last year, the trend has been spreading to local governments this year. As the adoption of EDR by public institutions increases, Ginious has raised its market share. It is continuously securing significant customers in the primary financial sector and expanding its customer base into related areas such as securities and insurance, thereby expanding its presence in the private sector.

Recently, the government and various public institutions are proactively responding to new forms of cyber threats and investing to establish world-class cyber attack defense capabilities. Based on technology on par with global companies and a deep understanding of domestic network and endpoint environments, Ginious is jointly responding to national cybersecurity threats.

The National Intelligence Service reported that the number of international hacking attacks targeting the public sector in South Korea totaled approximately 1.51 million cases through July this year. This is the highest daily average number of attacks in the past 10 years. Compared to last year, it increased by 26.9%.

It is not just hacking. Advanced cyber threats such as APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) and ransomware are also spreading. Attacks using malware go beyond simple security threats and can cause substantial and serious economic losses. There are limitations in detecting and responding to sophisticated APTs and ransomware through traditional security solutions.

Ginious’s EDR solution, "Genian EDR," provides threat detection, analysis, and response through continuous monitoring and information collection on endpoints. By monitoring and storing key behaviors occurring on endpoints in real time for analysis, it can detect and prevent intelligent threats in advance and enable post-incident audit trails.

To counter advanced ransomware, Ginious has equipped its EDR solution with anti-ransomware functionality. Last year, it was the first domestic EDR product to obtain the National Intelligence Service’s security function verification certificate.

Kim Junhyung, Executive Director of Ginious Endpoint Security Business Division, explained, "Threat attacks targeting endpoints are becoming more sophisticated," adding, "At the government-wide level, policies and systems to address cyber threats are being improved, and public institutions are actively considering the adoption of EDR."
