Genians, a cybersecurity company, has developed next-generation security technology targeting the quantum computing era.
The company announced Thursday that the core technology development of its "Quantum Security Gateway" has entered the final verification stage. Genians is pursuing the technology as part of its "Zero Trust 3.0" strategy. Built on the existing Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework, the gateway combines Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) technology with a Key Management System (KMS) to implement a next-generation composite security architecture.
"A gateway design that internalizes and combines PQC and KMS simultaneously requires a high level of security expertise," the company said. "This means Genians' technological capabilities have reached global standards." The company believes it has laid the groundwork to expand its business into next-generation industries where quantum security is essential, including autonomous driving, AI, and cloud services.
Quantum computers are regarded as having such powerful capabilities that they can solve in just seconds the kind of cryptographic decryption that would take existing supercomputers hundreds of years. As a result, concerns are growing that existing cryptographic algorithms used in financial, defense, and administrative systems could be neutralized. Genians plans to counter quantum computing-based attacks through its gateway architecture. The company also presented its goal of securing quantum security technology competitiveness on par with global security firms based on this foundation.
"We will secure the technological capabilities to perfectly protect our customers' assets from quantum computing threats and contribute to national cybersecurity," Genians CEO Lee Dong-bum said. "We will expand our coverage to global markets with this core asset and further solidify the status of K-security."
