Xint is supplying its AI-based black box penetration testing solution, Xint Web, to Woori Financial Group in order to launch a continuous security inspection system.
The introduction of Xint Web establishes a group-wide information protection system within Woori Financial Group as cyber attacks targeting the financial sector are becoming more sophisticated and faster through the use of AI. In particular, Woori Financial Group became the first Korean financial enterprsie to introduce a fully AI penetration testing solution, strengthening its security defense line. In the financial sector, where online customer contact points are open 24 hours a day, it is difficult to fill response gaps with regular inspections alone, so the need for a constant penetration testing system is growing.
The Xint solution deployed at Woori Financial Group is world-class white-hat hacking expertise implemented with AI agents in order to provide around the clock autonomous security inspection. It operates using a black-box penetration testing method that detects threats in the operating environment in real time. Simply input a URL and Xint’s AI agents explore web applications like a real user to identify endpoint connection structures, performing comprehensive penetration testing by generating multi-faceted, context-based scenarios at a speed and scale that human pentesting teams could not accomplish.
In particular, Xint Web supports seamless monitoring based on a secure diagnostic environment that eliminates concerns about service interruption. It precisely identifies even high-difficulty vulnerabilities, such as complex business logic flaws in financial services or authentication bypasses that are difficult to detect with simple pattern scanning, and significantly reduces false positive rates compared to existing security scanners, thereby ensuring immediate response to sophisticated threats.
An official from Woori Financial Group stated, “we decided to make preemptive security investments to safely protect customer assets amidst the recent escalation of AI-enabled cyber threats targeting the financial sector. We will seamlessly establish a continuous monitoring environment for key web applications to further enhance security credibility across the entire group.”
"It is highly significant that the technological capabilities of Xint Web, which autonomously detects even complex logic flaws in operating web services, have met the strict security standards of the financial sector," said Kwak Kyung-joo, Head of Product at Xint. "This collaboration with Woori Financial Group will serve as an exemplary case of security innovation in the financial sector for responding swiftly to cyber threats." He emphasized, "based on Xint’s unrivaled AI security technology, we will continue our strong partnership to further safely protect Woori Financial Group's customer assets and financial services."
