  • Hancom adquiere los derechos comerciales exclusivos de FacePhi en la región APAC
  • Hancom establecerá una cabeza de puente para entrar en el mercado de la IA en el extranjero vendiendo bajo la marca Hancom (marca blanca)
  • FacePhi mantiene la tecnología de reconocimiento facial con seguridad de primera clase

BARCELONA y SEÚL, Corea del Sur, 25 de marzo de 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hancom (consejero delegado, Seong-jun Byun y Yeon-soo Kim) planea realizar una inversión estratégica en FacePhi, una empresa española de inteligencia artificial (IA) biométrica.

Hancom anunció el día 25 que ha firmado un acuerdo de inversión en Barcelona, España, con la presencia de Yeon-soo Kim, consejero delegado de Hancom, y Javier Mira, consejero delegado de FacePhi. Este acuerdo de inversión permitirá a Hancom realizar inversiones de capital en FacePhi y asegurarse los derechos comerciales exclusivos de FacePhi en la región APAC.

FacePhi, que cotiza simultáneamente en las bolsas española y francesa, posee varias tecnologías biométricas basadas en IA, como las de reconocimiento facial, de huellas dactilares, de pupilas y de voz, necesarias para la autenticación biométrica. La empresa opera principalmente en Europa y Latinoamérica. Reconocida por su excelente tecnología en su país y en el extranjero, se ha asegurado un gran número de empresas financieras como clientes en Corea.

En particular, con respecto a la funcionalidad antifalsificación (identificación falsa), que es la característica más importante en la tecnología de reconocimiento facial, FacePhi posee tecnología que utiliza un método pasivo (autenticación de la identidad con una sola imagen facial frontal), que está emergiendo como una tecnología de próxima generación, en lugar del método activo ampliamente utilizado (que requiere que la persona mueva su cara para demostrar su identidad). En 2022, FacePhi obtuvo la certificación i-Beta de nivel 2 del Instituto Nacional de Normas y Tecnología (NIST), que garantiza el rendimiento antifalsificación de la tecnología de reconocimiento facial. El hecho de que solo haya nueve empresas pasivas con el nivel 2 de i-Beta en el mundo demuestra que la tecnología de FacePhi es de primera clase.

Esta inversión convertirá a Hancom en el segundo mayor accionista de FacePhi, y la empresa la utilizará como cabeza de puente para reforzar su posición en el mercado mundial de la IA a través de la marca blanca, vendiendo las soluciones de FacePhi bajo la marca Hancom en la región Asia-Pacífico (APAC).

Hancom espera que este contrato tenga un efecto sinérgico y planea descubrir nuevos y mejores servicios y negocios combinando la tecnología biométrica de reconocimiento múltiple de FacePhi con la IA de Hancom, la tecnología de seguridad de HancomWITH, la herramienta de informes de Clipsoft y el servicio de asistencia sanitaria de Hancom CareLink.

"Gracias a esta inversión, podremos ampliar el área de negocio de IA de Hancom y esperamos expandir las ventas en el extranjero suministrando soluciones FacePhi de la marca Hancom a toda la región de Asia-Pacífico en el futuro", declaró Yeon-soo Kim, consejero delegado de Hancom. "Seguiremos liderando el mercado de la IA promoviendo activamente la colaboración, la inversión y la adquisición de empresas de IA competentes".

Mientras tanto, el mercado mundial de soluciones de autenticación digital crece a una tasa media anual del 12% y, a medida que se refuerzan los niveles de seguridad, se tiende a pasar de la tecnología biométrica tradicional centrada en el reconocimiento de huellas dactilares al reconocimiento facial. Para responder a avances tecnológicos como las falsificaciones profundas (deepfakes), se espera que aumente la adopción de métodos pasivos para evitar la falsificación.
