[ISEC 2024 Preview] ZIEN, Korea's Only XIoT Firmware Security SECaaS 'Z-IoT'

One-Stop IoT Security Solution Supports Domestic and International Security Compliance

ZIEN is a specialized XIoT convergence security company researching IoT security. To thoroughly protect data from hacking and malicious software and create a trustworthy smart environment, ZIEN has developed 'Z-IoT', an XIoT firmware security automatic inspection SECaaS solution.

'Z-IoT' automatically inspects the software of IoT devices, accurately identifies vulnerabilities, and provides solutions. When firmware is uploaded to this solution, it automatically analyzes passwords, encrypted files, binaries, open-source software, and zero-day vulnerabilities. It ensures superior security through operational data analysis and executable file reverse engineering, while its AI-powered customized response measures set a new standard for IoT device security.

'Z-IoT' has reduced the time and cost of security management by about 75% compared to traditional manual inspections and is available 24/7, 365 days a year, leading the development of a sustainable smart IoT environment. Since its beta service launch in July, it has been enhanced to develop compliance features. This function allows for checking compliance with domestic and international regulations by securing high-level and diverse security technology understanding to respond to the differentiation of IoT security certification for each company and device.

Meanwhile, ZIEN participated in the international hacking competition '2024 DEF CON 32' held in Las Vegas, USA, in August, where they presented research results on dashcams from major countries including Korea, USA, Germany, and China in the 'IoT' (Internet of Things security) sector. Additionally, they won first place out of 30 teams in the 'TV hacking CTF' category within the IoT Village.

Youngmin Cho, CEO of ZIEN, stated, "The launch of 'Z-IoT' will present a new paradigm in the IoT security market," adding, "We plan to accelerate our entry into the global market alongside the domestic market, and also focus on developing new solutions such as AI LLM.”

ZIEN plans to expand its focus primarily to IoT manufacturing and service providers, and secondarily aims to expand its market through the development of security anomaly detection solutions for all IoT devices. The company also plans to expand its overseas presence, particularly in North American and European markets, with the goal of establishing itself as a leading company in the global IoT security market by 2025.

ZIEN's XIoT firmware security automatic inspection SECaaS solution 'Z-IoT' will be available for demonstration at their booth during ISEC 2024, where visitors can apply for a free demo version.

Meanwhile, 'ISEC 2024 (18th International Security Conference)', South Korea's representative cybersecurity conference and the largest of its kind in Asia, will be held from October 16 (Wednesday) to 17 (Thursday) at COEX in Seoul. ISEC 2024 will be held on an expanded scale compared to last year under the theme 'Future-proof', meaning 'Security guarantees our future', at the COEX exhibition hall (Hall D) and auditorium. Particularly in 2024, it is expected to feature about 20 tracks, 100 session presentations, and 170 solution exhibition booths with participation from over 150 cybersecurity solution companies.

Additionally, during the event, the 'ISEC 2024 Best Speaker Awards' will be held to recognize outstanding speakers selected through on-site voting, surveys, and video evaluations by a panel of evaluators chosen from among security officers and security personnel. This is part of an ongoing effort to improve the quality of content and enhance the level of presentations. For more details, refer to the ISEC website or contact the ISEC Organizing Committee.
