AhnLab Rebrands 30+ Security Products Into an AI-Native SaaS Platform and Drops the Perpetual Model
AhnLab declared on 2026-09-16 that it is becoming an AI-native security platform company, consolidating more than 30 security products plus 30 years of threat intelligence under a single AhnLab AI Plus brand with two SKUs, AI Plus Endpoint (EPP and EDR unified on SaaS, extended from PCs to servers, virtual environments, containers and mobile) and AI Plus SecOps (XDR, MDR and an AI SOC that prioritizes attacks by context). CEO Kang Seok-kyun framed it as designing around AI from the ground up rather than bolting AI onto existing products, with multiple agents collaborating over one unified security context. The structural detail worth noting is that the business model shifts to SaaS-centric at the same time as the rebrand, which is the harder half of the move for a 30-year-old on-prem vendor.
