AI Spera has been finally selected as a company for the '2025 Ultra-Gap Startup 1000+ Project DIPS Commercialization' (hereinafter referred to as DIPS) hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS).

'DIPS' is a national project that discovers top deep-tech startups in 10 ultra-gap technology fields such as cybersecurity, network, system semiconductor, and biohealth and supports their global expansion. AI Sphera was selected as a representative company in the cybersecurity and network field based on its unrivaled technological prowess in the fields of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and attack surface management (ASM) and its global cooperation network. Accordingly, it was awarded an official plaque at the 'Renovation Day' event held at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul Hotel on the 13th.

Through this project, AI Spera will pursue data accuracy improvement and response speed improvement centered on the AI-based cyber threat analysis solution 'Criminal IP'. In addition, it plans to significantly enhance user accessibility and intuitiveness so that organizations without security experts or general users can easily utilize threat intelligence. In particular, based on the experience of building a global network for many years, it plans to expand technology collaboration and joint marketing with more than 100 global companies over the next three years, and accelerate the quality improvement and global expansion of threat intelligence data.

Specifically, it includes ▲ introduction of AI-based LLM threat analysis service ▲ expansion of technology partnerships with global companies ▲ introduction of an online payment system for corporate security solutions. AI Spera CEO Kang Byeong-tak said, “Regardless of the size of the organization or security expertise, it is now time for all companies to actively utilize threat intelligence,” and “We will prioritize user-centered technology development so that TI adoption barriers can be lowered and anyone can use it easily.”

Meanwhile, AI Spera currently offers various product lines, including 'Criminal IP', which provides threat intelligence in the form of search engines, APIs, and datasets, 'Criminal IP ASM', an attack surface management solution that visualizes potential threats in the IT environment, and 'Criminal IP FDS', which detects IPs with abnormal external access. In addition, it has expanded its international cooperation ecosystem through technical alliances and partnerships with approximately 40 global security companies, including Cisco, Tenable, Fortinet, VirusTotal, and Snowflake. Recently, it participated in 'RSAC 2025' held in San Francisco, USA, and plans to participate in 'Infosecurity Europe' in the UK and 'Interop Tokyo 2025' in Japan in June.
