Samsung SDS is partnering with U.S.-based artificial intelligence (AI) security startup XBOW and Korean cloud security firm Tatum Security to strengthen its AI-powered cloud security capabilities.

The company said Wednesday that the partnerships with specialized AI security firms at home and abroad will enhance its end-to-end cloud security framework, spanning vulnerability detection, integrated monitoring and incident response, helping its customers adopt and operate AI and cloud environments more securely.

“Through collaboration with advanced security startups at home and abroad, we have built a comprehensive cloud security framework covering prevention, monitoring and recovery,” said Chang Yong-min, head of Samsung SDS’ security business unit.

“By combining advanced global technologies, locally tailored solutions and Samsung SDS’ operational expertise, we will proactively address the growing wave of security threats driven by enterprise AI adoption.”

Through its partnership with XBOW, Samsung SDS will expand AI-based vulnerability detection for web-based IT assets.

Founded in 2024, XBOW quickly gained spotlight after topping HackerOne, the world’s largest bug bounty platform, in June 2025, demonstrating the ability to identify vulnerabilities faster and more accurately than human hackers.

Samsung SDS plans to leverage XBOW’s AI-driven penetration testing technology to identify security weaknesses in clients’ web services and information assets, enabling faster remediation and reducing potential legal and financial risks.

The company is also working with Tatum Security to strengthen integrated security monitoring in multi-cloud environments.

Founded in 2020, Tatum provides cloud security solutions that enable unified management and visibility across major public and private cloud platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, through a single console.

By incorporating Tatum’s technology, Samsung SDS aims to give enterprise customers unified visibility into their cloud assets, allowing them to detect anomalies and potential threats early.

The company said it also plans to expand its collaboration with Tatum into areas such as cloud access and identity management services, as well as joint technology development.

Meanwhile, Samsung SDS is reinforcing its managed security service provider capabilities by enhancing its incident response offerings. As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, rapid detection, containment and recovery have become critical.

The company said its incident response services will focus on minimizing damage, accelerating recovery times and helping clients establish measures to prevent recurrence, ultimately supporting business continuity and cyber resilience.
