Global cybersecurity company AI SPERA (CEO Kang Byung-tak) announced on the 21st that it has signed a partnership with Bahrain-based security specialist Checksum and will begin full-scale entry into the Middle Eastern market with its security solution 'Criminal IP'.
Checksum is a leading security company that provides security diagnosis, consulting, and managed security services (MSS) in Bahrain. Through this collaboration, it plans to supply AISphera's main security product lines, including ▲Threat Intelligence (TI), ▲Attack Surface Management (ASM), and ▲Cyber Threat Infrastructure Database (CTIDB), to local Bahraini telecommunications companies, fintech companies, and government agencies.
AI Sphera's Criminal IP is a cloud-based subscription security service (SECaaS) that can be quickly introduced without installation and has a structure that allows for integration with existing security systems. Through the RESTful API-based design, it can be flexibly integrated even in closed network environments or independent infrastructure environments within the country, and can be configured to autonomously set the data storage location and operate only within national borders, allowing it to respond to local security regulations and data sovereignty requirements.
Recently, as each country strengthens its 'Sovereign AI' strategy to secure data and technology sovereignty, the demand for security solutions that can protect AI infrastructure is also increasing. In particular, the Middle East is a market where digital transformation and AI-based technology adoption are actively taking place, and AI Spera plans to respond to this demand through this partnership.
Bahrain is a key member of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) and has continued to cooperate in technology and security with the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. The Bahraini government has designated AI and cybersecurity as strategic industries through the ‘Bahrain Economic Vision 2030’ and is promoting the transition to a digital economy.
AI Spera CEO Byung-Tak Kang said, “Emerging markets where AI infrastructure is just being built require proactive security systems,” adding, “Criminal IP has the structural flexibility to respond to each country’s data policies and regulatory requirements, so it can play an important role in expanding the global security ecosystem.”
