Kuntek
On the 11th, Kuntek announced that it would distribute 'riscvOVPsim (RISC-V Open Virtual Platform Simulator),' a virtual machine that supports software development for 'RISC-V,' an open-source CPU from embedded software development company Imperas, to domestic developers free of charge.
RISC-V, an open-source based CPU for hardware development such as mobile devices, is a prime example of an open CPU architecture created by applying open source to hardware development. Development began at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010, and it was made available for free use under the Berkeley Open Source License. RISC-V is attracting attention as the most promising CPU architecture to replace the existing ARM.
Unlike ARM, there is no need to pay separate license or royalty fees, and even if you develop your own products, you do not have to disclose all of the source code. In addition, support for a wide range of operating systems is available, and easy support can be received from software vendors and tool developers.
Imperas riscvOVPsim
Imperas's riscvOVPsim (RISC-V Open Virtual Platform Simulator) is a virtual machine for embedded software development projects that runs in a RISC-V environment. riscvOVPsim is a RISC-V Instruction Set Simulator (ISS) that supports initial implementation testing and design verification of RISC-V CPU core designs.
riscvOVPsim is provided as open source and can be used for personal, academic, and commercial purposes. It is easy and simple to use as you can download the executable file and run it on standard Linux or Windows post-PC. It allows you to develop and debug code for RISC-V processors on x86-based PCs without the need for a separate platform. In addition, it provides a high-performance simulation environment capable of executing over 1 billion instructions per second on a host PC.
"RISCVOVPSIM is an easy-to-use and simple software development tool with no restrictions on commercial use, so it is expected to be of great help in pioneering the RISC-V market," said Bang Hyuk-jun, CEO of Kuntek. "We will be able to provide a suitable solution for those who need to develop RISC-V software, developers who want to build and test compliance in RISC-V CPU implementations, and developers who want to test regulatory compliance through RISC-V CPU implementations."
riscvOVPsim, which maintains and manages the license in Imperas and fully complies with the OVP open standard API, can be downloaded from GitHub (https://www.github.com/riscv/riscv-ovpsim).

Kuntek Launches Application Protection Solution in Korea for IoT Device User Information Security
Kuntech announced that it will launch Intertrust's application protection solutions, 'whiteCryption Code Protection' and 'whiteCryption Secure Key Box,' in Korea to enhance personal information security for mobile app users. Intertrust is a global digital asset management and software anti-tampering technology provider. The company stated that it will strengthen its strategy to capture the mobile and IoT security market. Whitebox cryptography technology and application code protection technology are emerging as key tools for protecting software content and data on smart devices. Whitebox cryptography technology is a technique that completely conceals encryption keys through cryptographic algorithms using software alone without conventional security hardware, offering high security as encryption keys do not remain in memory.

SalePoint Signs Multi-Year Partnership Agreement with AWS… Promoting Identity Security that Integrates Even AI Agents
Sailpoint has entered into a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with AWS and is moving forward with establishing an integrated governance system that manages both human and non-human identities together. The plan is to consistently manage access permissions in an environment where AI agents are increasing as work execution entities, while applying the principle of least privilege and automated policy enforcement. The two companies plan to jointly expand capabilities to manage the identities of various entities, including AI agents, within a single layer in the AWS environment. This collaboration is interpreted as a move to design security and governance together in corporate environments where AI adoption is expanding.

Databricks Unveils Open AI Security Monitoring 'Lakewatch'
Databricks entered the security market on March 24 by unveiling LakeWatch, an open-source agentic SIEM. The core functionality of this product is to integrate and analyze security, IT, and business data in a single environment to support AI-based threat detection and investigation. The company explained that it reduces the limitations of existing security operations centers, which have had to forgo some data due to high cost structures, and enables large-scale data analysis and automation based on open formats and ecosystems. LakeWatch is currently offered as a private preview, with Adobe and Dropbox mentioned as early customers. Databricks also announced an expanded partnership with Anthropic as well as the acquisition of Antimatter and SiftD.ai.
