Cybersecurity firm Softcamp and IT infrastructure and security builder DSTI have signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue joint Zero Trust-based security business. Softcamp will supply solutions built on its proprietary technologies, including document security (DRM) and remote browser isolation (RBI), while DSTI will drive market expansion through its 26 years of accumulated sales channels and system integration experience in the public and financial sectors. The two companies decided to collaborate based on their assessment that demand for protecting documents and data themselves is growing amid South Korea’s transition to the National Network Security Framework (N2SF) and the accelerating adoption of AI and cloud technologies in work environments. They plan to broaden the reach of Zero Trust security, focusing on public, financial, and retail markets.
Key Elements
Cybersecurity specialist Softcamp (258790) is joining forces with DSTI, an IT infrastructure and security systems builder, to target South Korea’s public, financial, and retail markets.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 24th at Softcamp’s DX Tower headquarters in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, to collaborate on Zero Trust-based joint security business. Under the agreement, the two companies will focus on jointly pursuing Zero Trust-based security services and document security solutions, as well as sales cooperation in new markets including public, financial, and retail sectors.
Role division is the core of this agreement. Softcamp will supply solutions based on its proprietary Zero Trust security technologies, including document security (DRM) and remote browser isolation (RBI). DSTI will take charge of market expansion, leveraging its IT infrastructure and security system integration experience and sales channels accumulated since its founding in 2000, serving public institutions, state-owned enterprises, and private companies.
DSTI is a company that has expanded its business from system integration (SI) into the information security domain. In 2025, the company strengthened its data security business by launching an “all-in-one data security platform” that integrates document centralization, data encryption, output and screen watermarking, and ransomware detection and blocking into a single management system.
Collaboration Background: Network Separation Easing and AI Proliferation
The two companies cited South Korea’s transition to the National Network Security Framework (N2SF) and the expanding adoption of AI and cloud technologies in work environments as the backdrop for their collaboration. As network separation policies are relaxed, differential controls based on data classification are now required, and an approach that protects documents and data themselves—rather than dividing networks—is spreading rapidly, particularly in the public and financial sectors.
Additionally, as generative AI usage increases, there is growing demand to control new leakage channels through which confidential documents could flow to external services. The assessment is that traditional perimeter-based security models can no longer effectively prevent data leakage risks arising in cloud and AI environments.
Kim Hyung-tae, CEO of DSTI, said, “The most frequent request we encounter at customer sites has been ‘how do we protect our documents and data?’ Through this collaboration with Softcamp, which possesses proven Zero Trust and document security technologies, we can now offer customers a more complete security framework.”
Bae Hwan-kuk, CEO of Softcamp, stated, “Together with DSTI, which has built infrastructure and security across diverse industrial sites for 26 years, we will broaden the reach of Zero Trust security in new markets including public, financial, and retail sectors.”
Market Impact
This collaboration is notable as a combination of a technology company and an SI company in South Korea’s Zero Trust security market. With Softcamp’s document security and RBI technologies combined with DSTI’s public and financial sector sales infrastructure, expansion into new demand sources beyond existing customer bases is expected.
In particular, the public sector’s N2SF transition is a large-scale security restructuring initiative that will continue for years, with sustained demand anticipated for document-centric data protection solutions. Analysts view this as the two companies establishing a collaborative framework to gain an early foothold in this market.
