Ghostpass Co., Ltd. was selected as a promising company in the cybersecurity and network field in the 'Super Gap Startup 1000+' project hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
'Super Gap Startup 1000+' is a government-led project that discovers startups with high technology-based growth potential and supports their competitiveness in the global market. Ghostpass was selected based on its biometric authentication-based cybersecurity technology.
GhostPass was the first biometric authentication technology to win the Best of Innovation Award in the Fintech category at CES 2025, making it the company to win the CES Innovation Award for two consecutive years. The technology is characterized by its decentralized on-device method that authenticates users’ biometric information by storing it on their personal smartphones instead of on a central server, reducing the risk of information leakage and effectively responding to global personal information protection regulations (such as GDPR).
Based on this technology, Ghostpass has developed various solutions for access authentication, payment, and attendance management, and is applying them to real services in the security and financial fields, such as smart door locks, unmanned POS, and table ordering systems. It is evaluated as being competitive in the global market due to its low maintenance costs and high system scalability compared to server-based authentication methods.
With this selection, GhostPass will receive a total of 600 million won in commercialization funds over the next three years, along with various policy support including technological advancement, cooperation with large corporations, and support for overseas expansion.
Meanwhile, GhostPass was recently selected for the 'Finnect Innovation School', a collaborative program with Kakao Bank, increasing the possibility of expansion into the financial security field.
