Under the leadership of CEO Choi Young-cheol, SGA Solutions has strengthened its expertise in the zero-trust field by being selected as the lead contractor for the government-sponsored Next-Generation Security Paradigm Project for three consecutive years. Going forward, SGA Solutions plans to respond to the industry-wide security paradigm shift, focusing on the "SGA ZTA Overlay," through initiatives such as N2SF, autonomous security systems, and K-RMF.
