Raon Secure is partnering with the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) to collaborate in the areas of AI-based data security and physical AI convergence security.

On May 11, Raon Secure announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KETI for “AI-based data security and building a demonstration and ecosystem for physical AI convergence security.” Through this agreement, both parties plan to jointly promote the establishment of AI security standards and the expansion of a demonstration ecosystem focused on industrial sites.

This collaboration aims to strengthen data security in the AI environment and proactively establish a convergence security framework suited to the era of physical AI, where physical systems such as robots and drones are connected. The plan is to combine Raon Secure’s AI security and authentication technologies with KETI’s research capabilities to develop a cooperative model that spans from technology verification to real-world industrial applications.

Initially, both organizations will begin developing security technology that automatically classifies document data within companies using AI. The goal is to address the limitations of the traditional human-centered classification system amid the rapid increase of document data due to AI proliferation, while also improving data protection, internal controls, and regulatory compliance efficiency.

In this process, the core engine for data classification will be developed through an industry-academia partnership between Raon Secure and Chung-Ang University. The company expects that academic verification will help ensure the reliability and objectivity of the technology.

In the field of physical AI security, efforts will also be made to advance AI security systems that connect with actual equipment such as robots and drones. In particular, both parties will jointly verify the necessary security standards and application directions to ensure that agentic AI technologies controlling physical systems can be reliably adopted at industrial sites.

Various security measures, including cleanroom environments and de-identification technologies, will also be implemented to protect sensitive data used during the collaboration process. Building a trust-based demonstration model that enables AI learning and utilization in a secure environment is also part of the cooperation.

Both parties explained that this agreement is significant in that it incorporates data protection and security controls from the initial stages of AI technology development. In particular, they expect it to serve as a starting point for building a trust-based infrastructure required for next-generation industrial environments where AI and the physical world are converging.

Through this partnership, Raon Secure aims to expand business opportunities in the growing security market for agentic AI and physical AI, while strengthening its competitiveness in AI security and authentication platforms. KETI also plans to enhance industry-focused security demonstrations and commercialization cooperation, focusing on spreading research achievements and securing competitiveness in convergence security technologies.

Going forward, both parties plan to continue expanding the scope of demonstration collaboration in AI-based data security, and to gradually develop follow-up cooperation models that will ensure research and development outcomes lead to real-world industrial applications and commercialization.

Jeonga Lee, CEO of Raon Secure, stated, “As AI advances to the stage of directly controlling real-world systems, security is evolving from simple post-response to a framework that controls AI’s identity, authority, and actions themselves. Together with KETI, we will apply a full-cycle trust infrastructure to industrial sites, covering everything from the data domain to the execution domain of physical AI.”

Heedong Shin, President of KETI, said, “In an era where AI intervenes directly in physical fields such as manufacturing, logistics, and disaster response, security is directly connected to safety. By combining the technological strengths of our two organizations, we will build a global-level convergence security demonstration ecosystem that enables companies to adopt AI with confidence.”

Raon Secure and KETI are launching full-scale efforts to establish next-generation AI security standards and a trust-based industrial infrastructure through collaboration that encompasses both AI data security and physical AI convergence security.
