South Korean cybersecurity company Genians said it ranked No. 1 in the public procurement market for endpoint detection and response, or EDR, for the seventh consecutive year.
The company said Monday that it held a 46% share in 2025 based on the Public Procurement Service’s Nara Marketplace data. Genians said it has expanded its foothold in the public sector by building on technical competitiveness from the early days of South Korea’s EDR market in 2019 through today’s AI-driven security environment.
EDR is a security technology that analyzes activity on endpoints such as PCs and servers in real time to detect and respond to threats. Its importance has grown as sophisticated cyberattacks have intensified alongside the spread of generative AI.
Genians said it was the first in South Korea to develop EDR and has helped public institutions improve security visibility and respond to advanced threats. The company said it obtained a security function verification certificate from the National Intelligence Service, meeting stringent public-sector requirements, and has contributed to protecting government administrative networks and key infrastructure.
Genians said its EDR has been deployed on more than 750,000 agents across central government agencies, local governments, financial institutions and large manufacturers, and that it has secured more than 200 references at home and abroad.
The company said it is strengthening a single-console integrated security platform strategy by combining EDR with next-generation antivirus, anti-ransomware and device control to build an integrated endpoint response system.
It also highlighted linking a machine-learning engine with AI-based cyber threat intelligence to detect previously unknown malware. The company said its system can identify threats from the hacking attempt stage and trace and analyze activity after an incident.
Lee Dong-beom, Genians’ CEO, said defenses must be rebuilt on the assumption that threats can be constant in an era when AI can autonomously design attack scenarios. He said the company will combine its EDR technology with AI-based automated response to provide an endpoint security platform that blocks sophisticated attacks in real time.
