TmaxSoft, an enterprise software company, today announced a partnership with Webearsoft, an API management and security specialist, to expand their business in web and application servers and automated SSL/TLS certificate management.
The companies recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at TmaxSoft Tower in Seongnam, South Korea. Under the agreement, they plan to integrate TmaxSoft’s JEUS web application server and WebtoB web server with CertBear, Webearsoft’s SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle management solution, and develop new joint business models.
As certificate management cycles shorten, demand is growing for automation across the SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle, from issuance and renewal to deployment and ongoing management. SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) certificates help authenticate websites and servers and enable encrypted communications between websites and users.
The partnership will combine TmaxSoft’s server software, which supports security, stability and connectivity between operating systems and applications in large-scale environments, with CertBear’s certificate management automation capabilities. The companies expect this combination to create ongoing business opportunities.
TmaxSoft and Webearsoft plan to expand their reach in financial services, the public sector and enterprise markets while promoting the adoption of Korean-developed software. Their collaboration will include joint sales activities, business proposals, marketing and seminars.
“Through this agreement, we will develop a differentiated business model that brings together web application servers and SSL/TLS certificate management,” said Hyongyong Lee, CEO of TmaxSoft. “Drawing on both companies’ proven product performance, reliability and expertise, we will strengthen our market competitiveness and deliver greater value to customers.”
“This agreement marks an important step toward combining CertBear with TmaxSoft’s web and application server products to deliver stronger security and greater operational efficiency,” said Younghwi Jang, CEO of Webearsoft. “Together, we will make SSL certificate management more stable and reliable across web environments. By combining our expertise and technology, we aim to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean-developed software in financial services, the public sector and enterprise markets and build digital environments customers can trust.”
