RaonSecure Signs MOU for Biometric Authentication Platform

IT security and authentication platform company LaonSecure (CEO Lee Soon-hyung and Lee Jeong-ah) announced that it has signed a strategic partnership (MOU) with four companies, including Fujitsu Korea, Mesacure Company, Eternal, and TrustKey, for cooperation on biometric authentication platforms.

This partnership aims to expand an authentication environment across industries that aligns with the government's strengthened security policies, including the Comprehensive Information Protection Plan, Zero Trust Guidelines 2.0, and the National Network Security Framework (N2SF) Security Guidelines 1.0. The companies collaborated on this initiative, recognizing the need to expand the multi-factor authentication market beyond single-factor authentication amidst increasing security threats such as insider information leaks, account hijacking, and abuse of privileges.

LaonSecure has integrated various biometric authentication technologies into its authentication platform, including palm vein authentication from Fujitsu Korea, facial authentication from Mesacure Company, finger vein authentication from Eternal, and fingerprint authentication from TrustKey. This will enhance the flexibility and scalability of the authentication platform, tailored to diverse corporate environments and security requirements.

In particular, OnePass, a FIDO-based biometric authentication platform, has been driving the growth of the multi-factor authentication market since its introduction in the domestic financial sector in 2016. Following its entry into the Japanese market, it is expected to surpass 10 million monthly active users (MAU). This collaboration expands OnePass's options for authentication policy design by offering a variety of biometric authentication methods, including palm vein, finger vein, facial, and fingerprint recognition.

Companies and organizations that have adopted OnePass can configure biometric authentication methods tailored to their security level and business characteristics, and implement an authentication environment that simultaneously considers user convenience and security.

Through this collaboration, RaonSecure plans to respond to the growing demand for multi-factor authentication across industries including finance, public sector, healthcare, manufacturing, and defense, and to flexibly design authentication systems tailored to industry-specific security regulations and business characteristics, thereby accelerating market expansion.

Lee Jeong-ah, CEO of LaonSecure, said, “We have established a model to expand the multi-authentication platform across industrial sites by collaborating with leading biometric authentication technology companies. We will continue to provide a safe and flexible authentication environment and contribute to the expansion of the zero-trust security system.”
