Naver Cloud has been selected to lead the development of a cybersecurity-focused artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model, known as the Security Specialized AI Model (SSAM).
The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on September 3 that Naver Cloud was chosen as the final project implementer after evaluating two participating companies in a presentation assessment for the SSAM project.
The evaluation criteria included technical capability, development experience, development strategy and technology, excellence and feasibility of development goals, as well as market potential and impact.
The ministry explained that the selected companies formed a large-scale industry-academia-research consortium with outstanding technical skills and development experience, presenting a concrete development strategy utilizing multiple agents and harnesses.
The consortium will initially receive support for a total of 256 Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) B200 over the next 10 months, starting this month.
The Ministry of Science and ICT plans to sign an agreement with the selected companies this month and commence the development of the cybersecurity-focused model with GPU support. A ministry representative stated, "We plan to immediately establish a working-level consultative body with the selected companies to strive for successful outcomes."
Meanwhile, the Naver Cloud consortium includes LG AI Research, LG Uplus, LG CNS, Logpresso, and MarkAny.
