[2026 H1 Innovation IT Award] Setting a New AI Standard Without Data Leakage Concerns
DESILO (CEO Seungmyung Lee) is a homomorphic encryption technology company that presents a new standard for enterprise AI through its “Private AI” technology, which enables the analysis and processing of sensitive data while it remains encrypted.
As the rapid adoption of generative AI brings the risk of internal corporate data leakage to the forefront, DESILO provides a fundamental solution that enables both security and AI utilization simultaneously. Its core competitiveness lies in its proprietary technology that dramatically enhances the speed and accuracy of AI computation based on homomorphic encryption. The company has secured next-generation algorithms capable of high-speed computation even when data remains encrypted, and based on this, has achieved the world’s first implementation of an “End-to-End encrypted LLM” that operates entirely on encrypted data—from input to inference results. This is evaluated as having established a significant technological barrier to entry, as it overcomes the limitations of existing encryption technologies and moves closer to a level of Private AI that is practically deployable in real industrial environments.
Hardware optimization for global commercialization is also accelerating. DESILO is pursuing the development of ultra-high-speed Private AI servers integrating software and hardware through a strategic partnership with Konami, a U.S.-based leader in dedicated hardware for homomorphic encryption computation.
