RaonSecure has strengthened its collaboration framework with biometric authentication specialists to expand the multi-factor authentication (MFA) platform ecosystem.
RaonSecure, an IT security and authentication platform company led by CEOs Lee Soonhyung and Lee Jeonga, has signed strategic partnership MOUs for biometric authentication platform cooperation with four companies: Fujitsu Korea, MesaCure Company, Eternal, and TrustKey.
The purpose of these partnerships is to expand an authentication environment that aligns with the government's strengthened security policies, such as the Comprehensive Information Security Measures, Zero Trust Guidelines 2.0, and National Network Security Framework (N2SF) Security Guidelines 1.0, across the industry. The companies agreed that, amid a surge in security threats such as insider information leaks, account hijacking, and privilege abuse, the market expansion of multi-factor authentication-not just relying on a single authentication method-is essential.
To begin with, RaonSecure has newly integrated a broad range of biometric authentication technologies into its authentication platform: palm vein authentication from Fujitsu Korea, facial recognition from MesaCure Company, finger vein authentication from Eternal, and fingerprint authentication from TrustKey. With these additions, the company expects to significantly enhance the flexibility and scalability of its authentication platform to meet the diverse security requirements and environments of various enterprises and markets.
In particular, RaonSecure’s FIDO-based biometric authentication platform, OnePass, is expected to further solidify its market-leading position. Since its introduction to the financial sector in 2016 as the first domestic biometric authentication solution, OnePass has driven the growth of the multi-factor authentication market and expanded into Japan, where it is on the verge of surpassing 10 million monthly active users (MAU). Through this collaboration, the platform is now structured to offer a richer array of biometric authentication technologies, providing more options for designing authentication policies.
As a result, organizations and enterprises that have adopted OnePass can configure biometric authentication methods-such as palm vein, finger vein, facial, and fingerprint recognition-according to their security levels and work characteristics. This is expected to make it easier to implement environments that consider both user convenience and security.
RaonSecure plans to actively respond to the growing demand for multi-factor authentication across various industries, including finance, public sector, healthcare, manufacturing, and defense, leveraging this collaboration. The company also intends to accelerate its market expansion by flexibly designing authentication systems tailored to the security regulations and work characteristics of each industry.
Lee Jeonga, CEO of RaonSecure, stated, "This collaboration is significant in that leading technology companies in each field of biometric authentication have established a cooperative model to jointly advance the multi-factor authentication platform and spread it across industrial sites. Moving forward, we will continue to provide safe and flexible authentication environments to the industry and contribute to the nationwide adoption of zero trust security systems."
