SK Shieldus announced on the 2nd that it has obtained the “Threat Detection and Response (TDR)” designation under Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency.

The AWS Security Competency is a program that reviews the expertise and customer references of partners that provide security solutions and services in AWS environments. Among these, the TDR Competency targets Security Operations Center (SOC) operations, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Network Detection and Response (NDR). As of this month, 54 companies worldwide hold this competency, and among Korean companies, SK Shieldus is the first.

In the SOAR-related evaluation process, SK Shieldus submitted use cases in which it built threat detection and response systems for customer environments by utilizing Amazon GuardDuty (malicious activity detection service), AWS WAF (web application firewall), AWS Network Firewall (managed network firewall), and AWS Shield Advanced (DDoS mitigation service). Based on its proprietary threat intelligence and SOC operation framework, the company also provides services that analyze security events collected in AWS environments and operate corresponding response procedures.

SK Shieldus is operating a security monitoring service that integrates AWS native security services with its AI-based cyber security operations platform “Secudium.” It also provides cloud security consulting covering regulatory and compliance, perimeter security, DevSecOps (development security), and data security. Through its organization of AWS-certified experts and its incident response team “Top-CERT,” it supports the full cycle from incident prevention to response and recovery.

Since obtaining the AWS Level 1 MSSP Competency last year, SK Shieldus has been providing cloud security services that meet global standards. In addition, the company plans to invest KRW 20 billion by this year to transform Secudium into a Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) platform.

Going forward, SK Shieldus plans to enhance its services by integrating its own AI technology with Amazon GuardDuty, providing capabilities ranging from post-detection analysis and prioritization to automated response. It also intends to expand service coverage to a broader range of industries.

Choi Jae-ho, Head of the Cyber Technology Center at SK Shieldus, said, “This competency achievement is another validation of SK Shieldus’s expertise in covering security operations and threat detection and response in AWS cloud environments,” adding, “Based on close collaboration with AWS, we will continue to expand cyber security services that support customers’ digital transformation and proactively respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.”
