Lucasmeta, a provider of AI transformation solutions, said on the 4th that it has officially launched its security platform, PQCSAFE Zero Trust Factory Gateway, on Google Cloud Marketplace. The launch followed a technical review by Google's marketplace approval committee at its headquarters. Lucasmeta also secured certification for a "hybrid SaaS integration architecture," the official enterprise standard for approval on the global marketplace.
PQCSAFE allows companies to use Google Cloud while keeping their core data on in-house servers or Naver Cloud. That makes the platform viable for five industries long constrained by strict data security rules and network separation requirements: smart manufacturing, finance and fintech, public administration and defense, healthcare, and education. With PQCSAFE in place, factories can remotely and safely control aging production equipment without halting operations, and banks can comply with the Financial Supervisory Service's network separation guidelines without risking leaks of customer financial records.
The solution keeps a company's internal firewall fully closed to the outside internet, eliminating the paths hackers use to scan access ports or break in from outside. It was designed to work immediately with legacy enterprise resource planning systems and factory databases that companies have used for years, without a single line of source code changes: the product is deployed as a virtual appliance in 10 minutes. There is also no need to install security agents that slow down employee devices. Access is handled through web browser-based fingerprint and facial biometric authentication. Because PQCSAFE is registered as an official solution on Google Cloud Marketplace, companies with existing Google Cloud spending commitments can apply the cost of adoption against those commitments.
"To unleash the full potential of high-performance AI without derailment, you first have to lay down a safe, dedicated high-speed rail line — zero trust," said Kang Han, Lucasmeta's chief technology officer. "PQCSAFE combines Google's high-speed infrastructure with the data sovereignty of Naver Cloud and on-premises systems. It will serve as a solid, dedicated rail that lets regulated industries — finance, the public sector, manufacturing, hospitals and universities — board the AI transformation with the greatest possible confidence, free of security and regulatory concerns."
