As the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and flexible work arrangements expands, concerns about security are growing. KT is enhancing its specialized 5G wireless services to ensure safe access for businesses and public institutions.
On September 17, KT held an online briefing on its 'B2B and B2G 5G' initiatives, announcing plans to establish a dedicated 5G network separate from commercial mobile networks to securely protect internal systems.
Myung Yoo-jae, Senior Vice President of KT's Enterprise Service Division, stated, "Using a dedicated enterprise gateway can enhance security while reducing costs. Based on our experience in commercializing the first standalone 5G in the country, we are continuously expanding the application of dedicated 5G services across industries such as manufacturing and logistics."
KT plans to implement 'app slicing' technology in its dedicated 5G services, allowing different networks to be used based on the type of data. Personal apps will operate on the general internet, while work-related apps will be separated on the enterprise network, enhancing security and reducing costs for businesses.
To address challenges in accessing company networks from remote locations, KT introduced a dedicated 5G work device called 'Egg.' This device allows users to connect to the company network simply by linking it to a laptop.
In response to the era of AI and quantum computing, KT is researching hybrid security that combines post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with existing encryption systems, as well as 'SIM PQC' technology for storing key generation information.
KT is also developing AI-RAN technology necessary for the physical AI era. This technology integrates AI into mobile networks to operate network support efficiently and reliably manage AI workloads and traffic generated by robots and on-device AI. The company is also working on AI autonomous security technology to detect abnormal behaviors in networks and devices.
