The Industry Pioneer Award, which Penta Security received, was newly established last year to identify innovative companies driving industrial change in next-generation ICT fields such as AI, quantum computing, and 6G. This year, Penta Security and Japan’s ZenmuTech were jointly recognized in this category.
Since its founding in 1997, Penta Security has steadily built up commercialized technology across its full range of security domains, including data encryption, web application security, authentication security, cloud security, and IoT security. This track record was cited as a key strength in the evaluation. The judging panel stated that Penta Security was selected for the award in recognition of its continued responsiveness to the rapidly evolving threat landscape and its contributions to enabling the secure digital transformation of enterprises and public institutions.
Taegyun Kim, CEO of Penta Security, attended the ceremony, stating, “It is truly meaningful to have Penta Security’s technological capabilities and industry achievements recognized by IFIP, a highly authoritative organization in the global information technology field.” He added, “As the ICT paradigm undergoes rapid change with the rise of AI and quantum computing, we will further advance next-generation security technologies, including post-quantum cryptography (PQC), to lead the global cybersecurity market.”
