On February 4, independent research firm Value Finder reported that Softcamp, currently known as a document security specialist, is expected to be revalued in the future as an AI security company.

Recently, OpenAI, the operator of ChatGPT, issued a warning about "prompt injection," an attack that induces data leakage or malfunction through malicious inputs. With the emergence of AI browser agents, the impact of this problem could grow significantly, yet there is currently no perfect solution to fully resolve it. Analysts note that while AI technologies attracting global attention are important, it is equally necessary to focus on building defense systems against security threats caused by AI.

Softcamp, founded in 1999, was listed on the KOSDAQ market in 2019. As the leading company in the domestic document security (DRM) market by market share, it provides security solutions such as document security, zero-trust, and security cloud services. Its document security technology recently came into the spotlight due to the Coupang personal data leakage incident.

Lee Chungheon, a researcher at Value Finder, said, "Softcamp announced its preliminary 2025 results last month and achieved record-high performance," adding, "It recorded sales of 24.8 billion won and operating profit of 3.3 billion won, successfully returning to the black for the first time in three years."

The researcher said, "This appears to be the result of research and development investments finally bearing tangible fruit," and analyzed, "The size of the domestic security market is expected to exceed 10 trillion won this year, and the global cloud security market is projected to grow from about 52 trillion won in 2024 to about 109 trillion won in 2030, representing high annual growth of around 13%."

He explained, "As AI advances, hacking and data leakage attempts that exploit AI are expected to become even more sophisticated, which in turn is likely to draw greater attention to the AI security market."

He went on to say, "In January, Softcamp signed an MOU with Aim Intelligence, an AI security specialist, thereby kicking off its full-fledged entry into the AX (AI Transformation) security market," adding, "With its technological capabilities verified and its performance improving, the company is expected to benefit from the future growth of the AI security market."
