It makes a portable, always-on eavesdropping detection system called SPYOUT-2. It also developed a recording prevention device and is exporting the technology overseas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The security software market has a high entry barrier, with only two companies in Korea, including Kn-Us, developing and selling eavesdropping detection devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As there is growing demand for security products in the Middle East, ASEAN, Europe and United States it is expanding its target markets by actively taking part in overseas exhibitions and sales meetings.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Recently, it completed the first round of the Pre-A funding round.

Currently, it has an eight-member team, but by next year it plans to expand to more than 10 staff.

It seeks to create a safer world with the devices and security systems it develops. It will continue to upgrade its security software and devices in response to fast-developing smart devices in the market including illegal spy cameras.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Its goal is to go public by 2028 by continuing to expand its sales and attracting more investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The security industry is a sustainable business for Korea in a world where war and conflicts between countries have restarted and information security has become ever more important.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Its eavesdropping detection system, SPYOUT-2, precisely detects various eavesdropping attempts including those using smartphone calls, unauthorized Wi-Fi signals, and ultra-wideband signals.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The technology has been recognized with six Korean patents, numerous test reports and patent application confirmation. SPYOUT-2 has also been designated as an innovative product by the Korea Public Procurement Service in December 2023. This has enabled the company to ink sales contracts with major government institutions in Korea as well as conglomerates in Korea.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Its recording prevention system uses ultrasonic signals to jam out human voice signals. It jams sound within roughly two to three meters radius. Even if some sound has been recorded, people will not be able to understand the conversation. &nbsp;
