Alpha SmartGuard, selected as an excellent information protection product, works safely and quickly through modules (API, Filter, Kernel Hybrid) suited to the server environment that stores various unstructured data (recorded files, voices, CCTV images, electronic documents, contracts). It can be built in any environment. In addition, sensitive personal information can be safely managed without separate decryption through encryption visualization, partial image encryption, and encryption key life cycle, providing business convenience.
An LH representative said, “We have a variety of modules suitable for the big data platform environment, can be applied to various files and system logs in connection with the big data platform, and provide superior performance and convenience functions compared to competitors, so this big data platform “Alphabit’s unstructured data encryption solution was introduced into the construction project.”
Pangyo eases outdoor advertising regulations… Rising expectations for the 2nd COEX
Recently, Seongnam City designated Pangyo Techno Valley as a special game and content zone, attracting attention as it plans to relax outdoor advertising regulations on a large scale to the extent of COEX, which is a free display zone.
The central government and local governments have been concerned that if outdoor advertising materials such as signs are proliferated indiscriminately, it could harm the city and streetscape. Accordingly, many regulations have been imposed on the size and installation location of outdoor advertising. On the other hand, areas such as Times Square in New York, USA and Piccadilly Circus in London, England, have abolished regulations on outdoor advertising. As a result, the outdoor advertisement became a landmark symbolizing the city and was reborn as an international tourist attraction.
Last month, Seongnam City designated 1.1 million m2 of the 1st and 2nd Pangyo Techno Valley and Kin Tower area as the ‘Seongnam Pangyo Game and Content Special Zone’. By next year, ‘Pangyo Content Street’ will be created in a 750m section of the Pangyo Techno Valley Plaza from Samhwan Hypex to the Nexon building, and on the west side of this street, an ‘e-sports stadium’ with a total of 450 seats will be built by the end of 2023. Is expected.
Joo Gwang-ho, Seongnam City Asia Silicon Valley Manager
“Currently, when installing outdoor advertising, there were many restrictions on areas and signs, but with the designation of a special zone, we have been able to overcome these,” he explained. Seongnam City ordered a service to find an implementation plan to actively install outdoor advertising. We plan to establish a basic plan for digital outdoor advertising to ease related regulations, and to this end, we plan to include how to revise Seongnam City ordinances or Gyeonggi Province notices.
-Gyeonggi Province and Army join forces to build a smart defense system using dronebots and AI
