The 2025 STK (Secu-tech) exhibition in Korea, held from June 11 through June 13 is Korea’s premier convergence tech exhibition, bringing together the latest innovations in AI, mobility, smart manufacturing, retail tech, and digital transformation. Held in Seoul, the event serves as a dynamic platform for startups, global enterprises, and industry leaders to showcase cutting-edge technologies, forge strategic partnerships, and explore the future of smart industries.
This year, ANDOPEN had the honor of representing the security industry at the forefront of innovation. Staying true to our mission of privacy-first, next-generation authentication, we introduced our advanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution to the Korean market—capturing the attention of B2B leaders, healthcare pioneers, major industry players, and government officials alike. We were also one of just five companies selected to be featured in a special showcase focused on smart lifestyle technology, a recognition that reflects our growing role in shaping the future of secure authentication.
In the wake of recent high profile cybersecurity incidents in Korea such as the SKT USIM and customer data breach and the YES24 database hack, the interest in a reliable and secure authentication solution that works without network reliance and protects customer information was higher than ever. Not to mention, the shifting global security landscape and increased cybersecurity risk from state-sponsored threat actors. Businesses and consumers alike are now demanding systems that don’t just rely on central servers, but instead offer decentralized, offline-capable methods that prevent mass data leaks even in the event of a breach, and remain functional even in the event of a ransomware attack. This shift is driving the adoption of privacy-first authentication technologies that ensure sensitive data—especially identity information—stays secure and under user control.
Leading the Way in Smart Lifestyle Security
As digital threats become more sophisticated, organizations need authentication solutions that deliver uncompromising security without sacrificing user privacy. SNAPPASS addresses these challenges head-on, offering a flexible, scalable, and privacy-first solution that is ready for the demands of tomorrow’s smart environments.
At the forefront of privacy-first authentication, ANDOPEN’s SNAPPASS was featured as a standout innovation in the special exhibition booth dedicated to connected living. Designed for seamless integration into everyday environments, SNAPPASS offers a powerful alternative to traditional authentication systems by keeping all personal and biometric data completely offline, in the user’s pocket.
Using on-device facial recognition in tandem with a secure SNAPPIN card, SNAPPASS ensures that sensitive information never touches a network or server—eliminating the risk of breaches, leaks, or misuse. It’s a new standard for secure, user-friendly identity verification in both personal and professional settings that is resistant to cyberattacks and service outages – ideal for the shifting security landscape.
Why SNAPPASS is the Smart Choice
- Does not store or transfer user biometric information over the network.
- Eliminates card theft and misuse with non-transferrable, encrypted biometric tokens.
- Blocks phishing and ATM fraud through secure, offline facial verification.
- Simplified compliance with global privacy standards like GDPR and FIDO2.
- Adaptable for any environment – from public events, banking, corporate offices, to critical infrastructure.
- High performance – Unlimited biometric users with 0% misrecognition.
- Plug-and-play integration – rapid and reliable deployment in various settings, thanks to built-in compatibility.
Building Bridges Across Korean Industries
The exhibition was a launchpad for meaningful conversations with potential business partners across key sectors:
- B2B: Companies seeking to upgrade their internal security and streamline employee access management.
- Healthcare: Hospitals and clinics interested in safeguarding patient data and controlling access to sensitive areas.
- Heavy Industries: Facilities requiring robust, scalable authentication for both personnel and visitors.
- Government: Agencies focused on national ID infrastructure, welfare, and social safety nets, where privacy and security are paramount.
The enthusiastic response from these sectors signals strong potential for rapid growth and adoption of SNAPPASS in Korea’s security landscape.
