NS Studio and Factor Labs to Enhance Military Security with Blockchain Technology
Korean game developer NS Studio announced on Thursday its collaborative research effort with blockchain-based security solutions company Factor Labs to boost the security system of its specialized virtual reality simulator used in military training centers and multinational security firms.
Protecting special combat forces
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a blockchain-based security system to be integrated into military training equipment that aims to safeguard the identity and behavioral data of special combat forces. Factor Labs’ security technology and blockchain expertise will be integrated into NS Studio’s military training programs, facilitating safer training sessions.
“Given the fact that special combat forces are important assets whose identities are considered national secrets, we want to amp up the security of the simulation programs that keep a record of their identities and behavioral patterns using blockchain technology,” the two companies said in a joint statement.
“We have begun developing the necessary technology for this project and are preparing to implement the security program starting in the latter half of this year.”
Blockchain’s role in military security
This collaboration underscores the increasing role of cutting-edge technologies like blockchain in ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive data not just in the financial context but also in military and security contexts. The combined efforts of NS Studio and Factor Labs are poised to contribute to the advancement of secure training simulations for special operations personnel.
