SK hynix Announces 3Q24 Financial Results

Revenues at 17.5731 trillion won, operating profit at 7.03 trillion won, net profit at 5.7534 trillion won – all reaching new recordsAchieving best-ever quarterly performance with increasing high value-added product sales based on no.1 AI Memory technologyStrong demand of memory for AI servers – HBM’s share of DRAM revenues in Q3 marks 30% and forecast to be 40% in Q4Company to lead the global AI memory market again next year promoting long-term growth by securing both business stability and profitability

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or “the company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it recorded 17.5731 trillion won in revenues, 7.03 trillion won in operating profit (with an operating margin of 40%), and 5.7534 trillion won in net profit (with a net margin of 33%) in the third quarter this year.

Quarter revenues marked all-time high, exceeding the previous record of 16.4233 trillion won in the second quarter of this year by more than 1 trillion won. Operating profit and net profit also far exceeded the record of 6.4724 trillion won and 4.6922 trillion won in the third quarter of 2018 during the semiconductor super boom.

SK hynix emphasized that the demand for AI memory continued to be strong centered on data center customers, and the company marked its highest revenue since its foundation by expanding sales of premium products such as HBM and eSSD. In particular, HBM sales showed excellent growth, up more than 70% from the previous quarter and more than 330% from the same period last year.

As sales increased mainly on highly profitable premium products, the average selling price (ASP) of both DRAM and NAND rose in the mid 10% range compared to the previous quarter, which made the company mark the highest operating profit.

While the demand of memory for AI servers such as HBM and eSSD has grown noticeably this year, the company predicts that this trend will continue next year. This is because generative AI is developing into a multi-modal1 form and global big tech companies continue to invest to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI)2.

1Multi-modal: AI service that can understand multiple complex information such as text, photos, voice, video, etc.

2Artificial General Intelligence: Artificial intelligence that implements human-like or higher intelligence with a computer

SK hynix also forecasts that the PC and mobile product markets, which had been slow to recover demand compared to memory for AI servers, will be on a steady growth path as well next year as AI memories optimized for each device are released.

As a result, the company will continue to focus on profitability by increasing sales centered on high value-added products based on its world-leading technology in AI memory.

In the DRAM area, SK hynix is continuing the rapid transition from existing HBM3 to HBM3E 8-layer products. The company also plans to start supplying 12-layer HBM3E products, which were mass-produced last month, in the fourth quarter as scheduled. This makes HBM sales, which accounted for 30% of total DRAM revenues in the third quarter, expected to reach 40% in the fourth quarter.

For NAND, the company plans to expand sales of high-capacity eSSD, which is rapidly increasing market demand, while focusing on investment efficiency and production optimization.

“SK hynix has solidified its position as the world’s No.1 AI memory company by achieving the highest business performance ever in the third quarter of this year.” said Kim Woohyun, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at SK hynix. “We will continue to maximize profitability while securing stable revenues by taking flexible product and supply strategies in line with market demand.”

InfoSight Launches AI-Enabled Purple Team SOCaaS: Machine-Speed Defense, Human-Led Control

Published

Purple SOC Unifies Offensive Testing, Defensive Monitoring, and AI-Driven Detection Engineering Into a Single Human-Led Security Program

MIAMI, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InfoSight today announced the general availability of its AI-Enabled Purple Team Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS)—a managed security solution that combines AI-driven attack path intelligence with human-led security governance. The service redefines how organizations detect, validate, and respond to modern cyber threats by unifying offensive adversary emulation and defensive monitoring into a single, continuously operating program.

AI-Enabled Purple SOC: Offensive Testing, Defensive Monitoring & Detection Engineering in One Human-Led Security Program

Modern enterprises face a growing mismatch between attacker speed and defender capability. AI-driven attack tools now operate at scale—testing controls, chaining vulnerabilities, and adapting faster than traditional SOC workflows can respond. Meanwhile, many Security Operations Centers (SOC) remain constrained by human-speed processes, where alert queues backlog, tickets accumulate, and threats progress before action is taken.

The challenge is no longer visibility—it is speed, correlation, and execution.

InfoSight’s Purple Team SOCaaS addresses this gap by delivering continuous threat exposure management across the full attack lifecycle. Rather than reacting to alerts alone, the AI-enabled experts continuously hunt for Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and indicators of compromise (IOC)while decoding real-time threat signals to anticipate adversary behavior before incidents occur.

Core Capabilities

AI-driven attack path correlation across identity, cloud, and critical systemsAdversary emulation aligned to real-world MITRE ATT&CK techniques TTPsReal-time validation of SIEM, XDR, and EDR detections and response workflowsDynamic feedback loops that continuously update rules, telemetry, and playbooksHuman-led oversight for threat modeling, risk acceptance, and executive reporting

By fusing traditionally siloed red team and blue team functions with AI enablement, Purple SOCaaS creates a continuously learning security program. When detection gaps are identified, rules, telemetry configurations, and response playbooks are refined continuously instead of waiting for scheduled review cycles.

When analysts engage, alerts are already enriched, correlated, and prioritized. Evidence is pre-assembled across identity, endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry, allowing security teams to shift focus from manual triage to higher-value decisions such as determining scope, assessing control weaknesses, and directing response actions.

Purple SOCaaS delivers measurable business outcomes, including:

Reduced Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR)Expanded detection coverage across high-risk attack vectorsReduced blast radius through continuous control validationStrengthened identity and privileged access controls based on proven adversary pathwaysBoard-level reporting tied to quantified exposure reduction over time

InfoSight’s Purple SOCaaS is delivered through a structured 30–60-day onboarding and launch program, followed by continuous validation cycles.

“Bad actors can operate at machine speed on a scale like never before, so organizations no longer have the luxury of reactive 8-5 security operations. Adversaries operate continuously, so defenses must too. Purple SOCaaS allows security teams to go on the offense and anticipate threats bases upon intent signals to stay ahead of modern threats. Attacks are running at machine speed so modern SOC operations must match the new pace. — Tom Garcia, President & CEO, InfoSight

InfoSight’s AI-Enabled Purple Team SOCaaS is available immediately for enterprise and mid-market organizations. Organizations can request an executive overview or technical brief by contacting InfoSight directly.

InfoSight, Inc. is a cybersecurity services firm helping organizations reduce cyber risk across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, energy, and government sectors.
