AI Spera Receives the Minister of Science and ICT Award for Contribution to the Development of the Regional Information Security Industry

Global cybersecurity company AI SPERA (CEO Kang Byeong-tak) announced on the 18th that it received the Minister of Science and ICT Award in recognition of its contributions to the development of the local information security industry and strengthening the security capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises.

This awards ceremony was held as part of the 2025 Regional Information Security Support Project Results Sharing Conference hosted by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). The two-day event, held at the Ramada Hotel in Daejeon from the 18th to 19th, was attended by approximately 80 participants, including representatives from the Ministry of Science and ICT, KISA, 11 information security support centers nationwide, and local governments. The participants shared regional information security achievements and discussed cooperation plans.

This year, AI Sphera participated in a regional information security support project jointly promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and KISA. AI Sphera has been supporting ASM (Attack Surface Management)-based security audits and proactive threat assessments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relatively weak security infrastructure. A key achievement was its contribution to preemptively identifying exposed digital assets and potential vulnerabilities, enabling SMEs with limited security expertise to establish a basic threat response system.

In particular, AI Spera leveraged its security solution, Criminal IP, to identify externally exposed assets and risk factors that could be exploited by attackers and propose countermeasures. This enabled small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to monitor and manage their security status simply by entering their website address, without the need for complex security systems or additional personnel. Furthermore, AI Spera was highly praised for its contribution to strengthening the national information security system by supporting technological advancement within the information security cluster, generating tangible results.

Meanwhile, AI Spera recently obtained KISA's Cloud Service Security Certification (CSAP SaaS Simple Grade) for its ASM-based solution, CriminalIP KASM, demonstrating its technological reliability even in public institutions. Furthermore, the company continues to strengthen its security technology and product reliability by securing domestic and international security certifications, including PCI DSS, GS, and K-PaaS.
