SECON & eGISEC 2025 is underway, showcasing a large and diverse array of both physical and cybersecurity innovations and products. While there is a comprehensive display of advancements in traditional physical security measures and cybersecurity products, it’s the integration in the converged security realm that’s arguably gaining the most attention, particularly in critical sectors. By all accounts, the depth of information in the latest security developments at the exhibition is complemented by the width of diversity in products and innovations.
“In particular, we plan to focus on AI-driven privacy protection, enhancing security in cloud environments, and the latest trends in pseudonymization and anonymization technologies. Additionally, understanding how privacy protection solutions are applied across various industries is a key objective, as real-world case studies provide valuable practical insights,” said Lee Hyejun, Associate at EASYCERTI, a provider of AI, big data, and cloud-based privacy protection and privacy data solutions and an exhibitor at the event.
Beyond its booth at the exhibition, EASYCERTI’s Senior Researcher, Seunghoon Yeom will be delivering presentations at the conference within. The first, on March 20th is on the topic of latest trends and countermeasures in privacy protection. The second presentation is on the following day and covers standards pertaining to securing personal information and verification processes.
There are over 400 exhibitors taking part in the exhibition and the displays are enticing and informative. The variety of security issues addressed by this year’s new product offerings cover the gamut of known vulnerabilities with no previously known countermeasures.
“There are no known solutions to prevent paper document leaks around the world. Through exhibitions like this, we hope to show people that such a solution exists and the increasing number of companies and organizations are using our solution: docuBLOCK,” said Myungshin Lee, CEO of ANYSELL Co., Ltd. and an exhibitor at the event.
The event spreads over 28,000 m² of space and is expecting more than 30,000 visitors from around the world. The products and innovations on display cover the gamut of security sectors including edge devices with on-device AI, converged security, cloud and IoT security, smart city security, automotive security, and maritime security, among others.
“One of the key solutions we will be presenting at SECON & eGISEC 2025 is real-time log and file encryption. This technology encrypts data the moment it is generated making it essential for industries such as finance, public sector and medical fields where both security and real-time processing are critical,” said Haeun JI at iNeb Inc, a provider of encryption and data security and an exhibitor.
A comprehensive conference and seminar program is happening inside of SECON & eGISEC 2025. The program was developed in collaboration with prominent institutions and industry leaders. It features over 100 sessions across 30+ tracks. Attendees can join discussions on critical topics such as industrial security, advanced CCTV management, aviation protection, counterterrorism tactics, personal data privacy, and other pressing security concerns.
This year’s key security issues featured at the exhibition include:
-
Edge devices with on-device AI (local AI)
-
Convergence of cybersecurity and physical security
-
Evolving zero-trust security model
-
Intensifying software supply chain security threats
-
Cyber fraud as a service (Qshing)
-
Cybercrime targeting youth and social media restrictions
-
Concerns on whether cloud security platforms and cloud service platforms can continue to coexist independently
-
Hidden risks in old “new” technologies
Event organizers cited as examples of hidden risks: “Cloud services have suffered from human errors, leading to unintended data leaks. Similarly, ChatGPT has raised serious concerns, as users often unintentionally expose sensitive information through interactions with the AI. These risks have prompted ChatGPT bans in several countries.”
However, risks are growing in other areas, too, even across entire industries. For example, the financial industry is intensely attractive to thieves and fraudsters.
YH Database Co., Ltd. has introduced newly released products to buyers every year since 2013, mainly introducing financial security and informatization solutions.
“This year, the company is showcasing AI-specialized products, including y-SmartChat, y-SmartData, and y-MobileMonitorSDK3.0,” said Kim JungWon, senior executive director of YH Database.
For example, “y-SmartData can be used not only as an abnormal transaction detection system, FDS, that can prevent financial accidents through voice phishing and fake bank accounts, but also as an internal audit control system, ADS, that can detect and prevent illegal money laundering, and AML, a money laundering prevention system, that can detect and prevent illegal money laundering,” Kim added.
Attendees appear universally eager to check out possible solutions for these and the other top security issues of the day. Exhibitors are just as eager to demonstrate their technological breakthroughs and checkout the competition.
“Aircode expects many customers to look for an alternative solution in response to the relaxation of network separation regulations,” said Yunsang Kim, presales vice president at Aircode, and also an exhibitor at the event.
“AirCode will be launching a browser-based virtualized web isolation product (AirRBI) that we believe is competitive in terms of functionality and efficiency compared to other solutions. And also, Aircode want to check and learn what web isolation solutions are available on the market and what features they have,” added Yunsang. Aircode is also presenting a talk on “Secure Web Browsing in Network-Separated Environments” at the conference program within the exhibition.
It can be difficult to choose which exhibits to visit and which presentations and keynotes to attend. That’s because there is such diversity in security topics and products.
“At SECON & eGISEC 2025, AhnLAb will showcase its latest security solutions built upon 30 years of comprehensive security expertise. Additionally, we are hosting booths for our subsidiaries — NAONWORKS, Jason, and AhnLab CloudMate — where participants can explore each company’s specialized technologies in OT/ICS (industrial control system), AI, and MSP (managed service provider), as well as their synergy with AhnLab,” said Junghyun Kim, Marketing Director at AhnLab, Inc. and an exhibitor at the event.
The exhibition runs from March 19 to 21 and is held at Hall 3-5 in Kintex, Korea.
