Samsung SDS is joining forces with domestic and international security firms to bolster artificial intelligence (AI)-based vulnerability detection and cloud security, addressing emerging critical issues in the field.
On Wednesday, Samsung SDS revealed its strategic partnerships with the U.S.-based AI security startup Xbow and the South Korean cloud security firm Tatum Security to enhance its AI-driven cloud security capabilities.
This collaboration aims to upgrade security systems across all domains, including AI-powered vulnerability detection, integrated cloud security monitoring, and incident response. The goal is to empower enterprise clients to adopt and manage AI and cloud environments with greater security.
Through its alliance with Xbow, Samsung SDS will expand its AI-based vulnerability detection capabilities, focusing on web-based information technology (IT) assets for enterprise clients.
Xbow, founded in 2024, made headlines in June 2025 by outperforming human hackers on HackerOne, the world’s largest bug bounty platform, detecting vulnerabilities with superior speed and accuracy.
Samsung SDS is also set to strengthen its integrated security monitoring system for multi-cloud environments through its partnership with Tatum Security.
Established in 2020, Tatum Security specializes in cloud security, offering unified management and visualization of major public and private clouds, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and GCP, from a single console.
As a managed security service provider (MSSP), Samsung SDS plans to enhance its pre- and post-incident response capabilities. The company will offer services designed to boost its clients’ cyber resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Jang Yong-min, head of Samsung SDS’s security business team, stated that the balanced partnerships with cutting-edge security startups, both domestically and internationally, have enabled them to build a comprehensive cloud security response system. This system covers proactive prevention, continuous monitoring, and post-incident recovery. It’s combining global leading technologies with tailored domestic solutions and Samsung SDS’s operational expertise to proactively address the new threats emerging from increased AI adoption in enterprises.
Meanwhile, tech giants worldwide are racing to develop AI models for security applications. In April, Anthropic launched Claude Mitos, while OpenAI countered with the GPT-5.4-Cyber model. Consequently, AI-based vulnerability detection and rapid patch responses have become focal points in the industry.
