Nine Korean Cybersecurity Firms to Hold Investor Relations Event: "Enhancing Corporate Value and Expanding Investor Communication"

Domestic cybersecurity companies are holding a joint investor relations (IR) event for the second consecutive year, aiming to enhance the value of the security industry and expand communication with investors. The initiative is intended to overcome the relatively low valuation of Korean firms compared to the global security market and to establish fair corporate value.

Nine companies?RaonSecure, Suprema, Xgate, Genian, Fasoo, Hanssak, Hecto Innovation, HuneSion, and SGA Solutions?announced on the 19th that they will jointly host the "2025 First Half Cyber Security Corporate Day" for domestic institutional investors and private bankers (PBs) at Anchor One in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 26th.

The nine participating companies will directly introduce their business models, competitiveness, and growth strategies?including the latest trends in cybersecurity?to institutional investors both in Korea and abroad. With growing investor interest in cybersecurity due to recent hacking incidents, the event will also feature a Q&A session with investors, which is expected to provide a meaningful platform for practical communication.

As cyber threats intensify worldwide, the global security market is experiencing explosive growth. In the United States and other major countries, the technology and future growth potential of cybersecurity companies are highly valued, resulting in significant corporate valuations. In contrast, Korean cybersecurity companies have received relatively low market evaluations despite their technological capabilities and growth potential.

In reality, there are not many countries with their own proprietary security technologies, and Korea's security technology is on par with the global standard. Although the global security market is expanding and unicorn security companies are emerging one after another, Korean security companies remain undervalued.

Recently, the environment surrounding the security industry has become more favorable. As domestic companies increase their security investments and interest in solutions grows, the share prices of related companies have also risen compared to the beginning of the year. The government is also supporting the industry through policies such as strengthening cyber threat response systems and preparing comprehensive safety management measures. In the second half of this year, the announcement of the "Cybersecurity Strategy for the AI Era" is scheduled, which is expected to have a positive impact on the industry as a whole.

Kwon Myungjun, a researcher at Yuanta Securities, stated, "The purpose of this IR event is to overcome the undervaluation of domestic security companies and to effectively communicate their true value and growth potential to investors." He added, "It will provide investors with an opportunity to clearly understand the technological capabilities and future growth drivers of Korean security companies."

An industry official also commented, "The joint IR event is an important opportunity to showcase the intrinsic value of the security industry to the capital market," and introduced, "Through regular joint events, it will contribute to expanding the industry base and establishing an investment foundation."
