SGA Solutions, a specialized IT security company, announced that its Zero Trust-based integrated account authentication and privilege management solution, 'SGA ZTA ICAM,' has become the first ICAM solution in South Korea to receive GS certification.
The GS certification is a national software quality certification that comprehensively evaluates the functionality, reliability, and usability of software.
SGA ZTA ICAM is a Zero Trust solution that integrates authentication, privilege management, and access policy establishment and distribution based on user and account information. It applies the principle of least privilege for each user through a Policy Decision Point (PDP) and continuously verifies all access. Additionally, it enhances the efficiency of account and privilege management for security personnel by providing user information collection and distribution, process management, threat analysis, and self-service features on a single platform.
SGA Solutions stated, "With this certification, SGA ZTA ICAM has been recognized for its technology and stability as a Zero Trust-based integrated account authentication and privilege management solution." The company explained that it has proven to meet the software quality standards required across various industries, including public institutions.
As generative AI and agentic AI become more widespread, the scope of account management for companies is expanding from user accounts to non-human accounts (NHI) such as service and API accounts. Consequently, integrated management of user and non-human account privileges and continuous verification of all access are emerging as key elements of a Zero Trust security framework.
With the acquisition of this GS certification, SGA Solutions plans to expand its ICAM business targeting various industries, including public institutions, finance, and manufacturing.
Choi Young-cheol, CEO of SGA Solutions, remarked, "With the rise of generative AI and agentic AI, the demand for ICAM to safely manage not only user accounts but also system and service accounts (NHI) is rapidly increasing. We will leverage this GS certification to expand our business into public markets and various industries such as finance and manufacturing, securing continuous growth opportunities."
Meanwhile, SGA Solutions is participating as the lead contractor in a project organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, titled 'Development of a Korean-style Zero Trust Open Platform Technology Compliant with Global Standards.' Through this initiative, the company plans to establish a Zero Trust platform compliant with global standards such as NIST SP 800-207 and create an interoperable environment based on open APIs, linking AI-based threat analysis with continuous verification.
