Network security firm Xgate has announced a restructuring to separate its business and management functions while bringing in an external sales expert to target the public, finance, and defense markets.
On June 9, Xgate appointed Kim Jun-hyung, a former executive at Genians, as its Vice President of Sales.
Kim is an IT and cybersecurity expert who previously served as the head of the business division at Genians, a company specializing in network access control (NAC) and endpoint security in South Korea. With nearly 20 years of experience in sales and business development in the security industry, he will oversee Xgate's sales strategy and customer expansion.
The restructuring aims to enhance the expertise of each organization by separating management and business operations, thereby improving market responsiveness. As part of this change, the current Vice President Kim Tae-hwa will oversee the management planning division, handling overall management, including finance, human resources, and general affairs, as well as strategies for new business and defense industry expansion.
With this restructuring, Xgate plans to strengthen its competitiveness in the existing network security business while accelerating the expansion of new ventures, such as AI-based next-generation firewalls. The strategy aims to secure growth momentum by broadening its business base not only in the private sector but also in public, finance, defense, and military industries.
As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, there is a growing demand for network security investments, particularly among public institutions and financial sectors. It remains to be seen whether the strengthening of the sales organization and specialization will enhance market responsiveness.
Kim Jun-hyung, Vice President of Sales, stated, "I am pleased to join Xgate, a leader in the domestic high-performance network security market. Based on the field experience and sales know-how accumulated over the past 20 years, I will provide security value that meets customer needs and enhance synergy among business organizations to drive the company's sustainable growth."
