Cloud X is a domestically developed VDI solution by SK Broadband that provides a virtual desktop environment from a central server without relying on individual PCs. It allows users to access the same virtual PC anytime, anywhere, and on any device, enhancing security and efficiency.

SK Broadband stated, "Through continuous technological development to improve user convenience and operating an integrated technical support center for prompt after-sales service, we secured the SBI Savings Bank smart work construction project by competing with foreign solutions with differentiated competitiveness." SK Broadband will build a business network VDI with approximately 1,500 virtual PCs.

SK Broadband explained that during the proof of concept (PoC), their technology was recognized for excellent security through biometric authentication integration for internal and external VDI access, as well as outstanding compatibility with document centralization solutions and peripheral device software.

In the future, Cloud X plans to evolve by applying Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technology and FIDO2 biometric authentication-based passkeys to establish a multi-layered security system encompassing users, devices, and network domains.

Kim Gu-young, Head of Enterprise Sales at SK Broadband, said, "Based on Cloud X's differentiated competitiveness, we will expand its value beyond VDI to an integrated security solution."

Meanwhile, Cloud X also supports government-led security system transitions and logical network separation application guidelines, such as the National Intelligence Service's 'National Network Security Framework (N2SF) Security Guidelines' and the Financial Services Commission's 'Financial Sector Network Separation Improvement Roadmap.'
