SK Shielders Launches Subscription-Based 'Hacking Incident Response' Service for SMEs

Support for Damage Recovery and Enhanced Security

On September 3, SK Shielders announced the launch of a subscription-based 'hacking incident response' service designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack sufficient security personnel and budget.

SMEs often face significant challenges not only from the direct damages caused by data breaches, but also from the additional costs incurred during the recovery process. As a result, there has been a growing need for a hacking incident response service that can provide both professional support and financial relief at the same time.

SK Shielders has introduced a comprehensive service that supports the entire process of a hacking incident-including identifying the cause, blocking further damage and recovery, and establishing measures to prevent recurrence-all for an affordable monthly subscription fee. In addition, legal consultation and cyber insurance are included, enabling companies to establish a robust security system at a reasonable cost.

The key feature of this service is that response begins immediately, without any separate application process. This allows companies to secure the critical 'golden time' following a hacking incident and minimize the spread of damage. When signs of hacking are detected, the SK Shielders service team responds first, quickly identifying the route of malware infiltration and the scope of damage, and blocking any further spread. Subsequently, the dedicated incident response team, 'Top-CERT,' analyzes the incident in its entirety and develops measures to prevent recurrence.

Post-incident response is also systematically supported. Through its cyber compensation service, SK Shielders covers costs such as IT system recovery, legal defense for personal information leakage lawsuits, reputation management expenses, and business interruption losses in the event of an incident.

Additionally, by connecting with law firms for legal consultation, the service enables rapid response in the event of lawsuits or disputes related to personal information leakage. Continuous monitoring and penetration testing are also provided to prevent recurrence of similar attacks. All services can be flexibly tailored to the size and budget of each company.

Kim Byungmoo, Head of Cybersecurity at SK Shielders, stated, "Cybersecurity is not only a matter of corporate trust, but also a key factor in national competitiveness and social stability," adding, "Through this new service, which combines technical response with insurance coverage, SK Shielders will create a virtuous cycle of security investment and corporate growth."
