About ASTRONSECURITY

Astronsecurity Co., Ltd., established in March 2019, is a cybersecurity firm specializing in cloud workload protection. The company was founded by Geun Seuk Cho, who serves as CEO and leads a team with extensive experience in the South Korean security sector. The venture was initiated to address critical security vulnerabilities, cost management issues, and the lack of expert resources that accompany the rapid corporate adoption of cloud computing.

Operating in the Network Management Software and Cybersecurity market, Astronsecurity provides a Cloud Workload Security (CWS) platform designed to secure cloud environments for its clients. The business model appears to be centered on selling its software solution to enterprises and public institutions that are transitioning to or operating on the cloud. The company's revenue is generated through the commercialization of its security products, which have already been adopted by large corporations and public agencies in South Korea.

The core offering is the Astron CWS platform, which functions as an AI-based automatic anomaly detection and identification system. It employs a three-step defense mechanism to provide automated asset management, real-time change recording, precise abnormality detection, and host health monitoring. A key feature is its ability to combine cloud APIs and security agents to automatically map information on all workloads, creating a security topology that simplifies network and security connectivity management for cloud providers. Initially supporting Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company planned to release versions compatible with multi-cloud environments like Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Astronsecurity has secured Series A funding from investors including AhnLab, Inc. and KB Investment Co., Ltd., and has established partnerships with entities like Gabia and NetKTI for joint cloud security business ventures.
