2. Investment watch points

Interpretation: Given the perception that this area may be tied to the recent SKT security problem, I want to watch whether each conglomerate starts building up internal security affiliates such as Samsung SDS or LG CNS.

Contract watchMeaningful large-company wins

The key checkpoint is whether a Korean security leader wins meaningful contracts with major groups.

3. What I want to watch

  • Whether Samsung SDS, LG CNS, and similar group security affiliates expand their roles
  • Whether Korean security leaders such as Genians sign meaningful contracts with major conglomerates
  • If such contracts appear, the idea of adding to Genians
