We need to evolve beyond passive defenses like data backup to proactive defenses that detect attacks in advance.”
Recently published major security trend reports at home and abroad selected ransomware as the biggest security threat this year. Ransomware is a compound word of ransom and malware, and is a cyber threat that encrypts data and then demands a ransom for it. Its been on the rise every year, but this year its even worse. In the third year of Corona 19, as non-face-to-face services using cloud and IoT spread, the number of security vulnerabilities also increased rapidly.
In an interview with Money Today on the 2nd, Kyu-ho Lee, CEO of Secube, a domestic security company, said, “Recently, ransomware damage is spreading not only to large enterprises, but also to the general public and small and medium-sized enterprises.” This year, great damage and chaos are expected,” he said. This is the background of Lee, who took office in 2020, to launch a ransomware solution as a new business for Secube.

Kyu-ho Lee, CEO of SECUBE. /Photo = Reporter Lee Ki-beom [email protected] is a company specializing in security solutions such as server security and digital signatures. Secube Toss, a server security OS solution, the main product of Secube, has maintained the No. 1 market share. Server · System Integration Account Rights Management Solution & # 039; Eye Griffin & # 039; is also a product that CEO Lee developed himself while he was an in-house engineer.
Secubes ransomware solution, which is about to be released early next month, has been developing for about a year. It is explained that differentiated technology was applied to the extent that the CEO who used to be an engineer directly led the development. Another solution is to detect similar activities based on existing ransomware activity pattern data, so it is difficult to recognize new ransomware attacks. On the other hand, the Secube solution detects attempts to randomly encrypt data. CEO Lee explained, “It is effective against new types of ransomware attacks,” adding, “It is possible to prevent encryption itself by notifying users as soon as encryption behavior is detected.”
It is also continuing to develop security technologies tailored to the recently complicated IT infrastructure environment. The patent filed by Secube on the 3rd is a technology that simplifies security updates so that they can be applied to servers as quickly as possible. Because there are many companies that operate hundreds of servers or more, it sometimes takes a year to apply security updates to all servers in the company using the existing method. If you use Secube technology, you can significantly reduce the update time and increase security capabilities. Secube recently acquired a patent for server security core technology in Japan.
Last year, Secube posted an operating profit of 5.5 billion won, up 30% from the previous year. This year, along with the development of new technologies, the company plans to maintain its No. 1 market share by upgrading existing solutions. CEO Lee said, “We will become a company that creates solutions that meet customer needs through steady R&D.”
