SK Telecom is uniting AI innovators, cybersecurity firms and educational institutions to create an AI model aimed at safeguarding Korea against sophisticated cyber threats. The South Korean telecommunications giant revealed on Thursday that it has applied to participate in a government-backed initiative to develop an AI foundation model specifically tailored for cybersecurity purposes.
This collaboration includes Upstage, nine security firms, Korea University, Soongsil University, and the Korea Information Security Industry Association (KISIA).
The partnership includes two of the three teams that recently passed the second-stage assessment of the government’s independent AI foundation model project. SK Telecom and Upstage are bringing their respective strengths in model development to the table. The companies intend to create a security-focused model utilizing SK Telecom’s A.X K family and Upstage’s Solar Open models, then integrate it with AI agents capable of automating tasks ranging from threat detection to response.
SK Telecom emphasized that the system will be trained and evaluated using data and insights from authentic security operations.
