AhnLab was selected for this award in recognition of its efforts to pioneer overseas markets and expand exports of cybersecurity technology based on its strategic items control system.
Since 2013, AhnLab has managed the entire process from classification of strategic items to export license acquisition and post-management as an Autonomous Compliance Program (AA grade) company. There has not been a single violation or omission through its company-wide control system and regular audit procedures.
In particular, the company was recognized for enhancing the global competitiveness of Korea’s cybersecurity industry and increasing national exports, leveraging its export control capabilities. Centered on its Saudi Arabian joint venture ‘Raqin,’ AhnLab expanded into the Middle Eastern market and recorded exports of over 10 million dollars last year. Even amid a significant increase in exports, AhnLab has maintained stable export control operations.
Deokhwan Kim, Head of Financial Planning at AhnLab, stated, “For global companies, strategic items export control forms the core foundation for trade security competitiveness and compliance trust with overseas customers and regulatory authorities. We will continue to pursue safe and responsible export management and global business expansion based on a systematic strategic items control system.”
