| Lockin Company | Legacy | LIAPP | Application Security (AppSec) | CyberSecurity | n/a | 2016 | 2016 | In 2016, KB Financial Group implemented LIAPP from Lockin Company as part of its fintech startup acceleration program. LIAPP was adopted under the Application Security (AppSec) category to harden mobile banking and payment flows for KB's mobile financial services in South Korea, targeting the finance process area, specifically mobile banking and fintech. The engagement centered on app shielding and runtime protections, using capabilities typical of Application Security (AppSec) deployments. LIAPP was configured to provide binary hardening, runtime tamper detection, and in‑app anti abuse controls to protect authentication, payment authorization, and session flows within KB's mobile applications. Configuration emphasized instrumentation of mobile binaries and policy controls to enforce protections at runtime. Deployment was scoped to KB's mobile channels and mobile financial services in South Korea, covering payment workflows and consumer banking app functions. Implementation work integrated LIAPP into the mobile application build and release process to ensure protections persisted across updates and to support auditability. Operational coverage included finance and product teams responsible for mobile banking and fintech initiatives. The engagement helped KB evaluate and adopt app shielding and runtime protections to meet security and audit expectations and informed mobile security controls for projects in the acceleration program. Governance changes included adding release gates and security review checkpoints for mobile builds where LIAPP protections were required prior to production release. LIAPP was positioned as a standardized Application Security (AppSec) control for KB's mobile financial services. |

| In-House Applications | Legacy | Klaytn | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | n/a | 2022 | 2022 | In 2022, KB Financial Group integrated Klaytn as a Blockchain Platform to underpin a new product architecture for crypto investment offerings. The deployment was driven by plans to launch a crypto investment index fund and an outsourced chief investment officer fund designed to provide guarantees on principal investments and to serve retirement pension use cases. The Klaytn implementation centers on smart contract-enabled tokenization and on-chain asset recordkeeping, including capabilities for tokenized fund share issuance, NFT registry and custody workflows, and wallet management for investor access. Klaytn is being used to model programmable fund instruments and to maintain immutable provenance for digital assets, aligning platform configuration with investment product lifecycle management and fund administration requirements. Operational integration emphasizes connecting on-chain flows to KB Financial Group business functions such as asset management, custody operations, fund administration, and customer-facing channels including mobile banking and investor portals in South Korea. The platform architecture is positioned to support OCIO-managed products by enabling secure on-chain proofs and interoperable ledger records, while remaining consistent with typical Blockchain Platform integration patterns for custody and compliance feeds. Governance and process restructuring focuses on embedding smart contract governance, investor onboarding and KYC workflows, and operational controls for custody and principal guarantee processes. Rollout sequencing is expected to prioritize audited smart contracts and compliance signoffs before customer-facing fund issuance, reflecting a controls-centric approach to launching blockchain-native investment products using Klaytn. | |
