SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/

KIWONTECH's Japan-based joint venture held a briefing session on the global

standardization of email security.

The company is expecting its proposal to be adopted as an international

standard next year.

KIWONTECH (CEO Kim Dong-cheul), a leading cyber security company that is

developing international email security standards, held a briefing session on

the Mail Inspector Platform for the global standardization of Japanese email

security with SCM Secu Systems Laboratory Inc., its Japan-based joint venture.

As many companies use email for communication, the number of reports of email

security breaches is increasing every year, and the email security market is

steadily growing.

KIWONTECH, a member of the Born2Global Centre (CEO Kim Jong-kap), submitted a

proposal, titled "Security Requirements and Countermeasures for Targeted Email

Attacks" to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecommunication

Standardization Sector (ITU-T). The company's proposal was adopted as a Korean

email security standard in December 2021. The adoption of the proposal as an

international standard by ITU is expected to happen in 2024.

About 20 major Japanese information and communication technology (ICT)

companies participated in the briefing session and listened carefully to the

SCM Secu Systems Laboratory's briefing on the global email security market's

current status, problems, and prospects, focusing on email security

standardization. Participants of this briefing were in agreement on the need to

prepare a foundation for revitalizing the Japanese email security market.

During the session, SCM Secu Systems Laboratory announced the main content of

the international email security standard of the ITU, on which KIWONTECH is

planning to take the initiative, and the importance of introducing the draft

email security standard.

SCM Secu Systems Laboratory also signed an MOU with four Japanese security

companies, including Narita Systems Laboratory, to supply and expand email

security solutions in Japan. With this agreement, KIWONTECH expects that it

will secure a leading position in the Japanese email security market.

KIWONTECH Vice President Young-ki Kim said, "With the support of the

Born2Global Centre, we were able to quickly and efficiently secure a local

strategic foothold, which is essential for our Japanese business." He added,

"We will speed up the commercialization of the international email security

standards that are currently going through the commercialization process in

Japan."
