Recognition highlights the market leadership of Penta Security’s advanced WAAP solutions, WAPPLES and Cloudbric WAF+.
For the third straight year, global research firm Frost & Sullivan has named Penta Security the 2025 South Korea Company of the Year in the Web Application Firewall (WAF) Industry. This prestigious award recognizes sustained excellence in leadership, technological innovation, and customer value.
Frost & Sullivan, a firm with over 60 years of history, conducts deep analysis to identify companies at the forefront of their industries. Penta Security was recognized for delivering robust and secure solutions that meet the diverse needs of customers in the rapidly evolving cloud security market.
This consistent recognition is driven by our commitment to next-generation web security, embodied by our two flagship solutions:
- WAPPLES (Intelligent WAAP for the Enterprise): An evolution of traditional WAFs, WAPPLES is an advanced Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solution built on a cloud-native architecture. Its proprietary intelligent detection engine, COCEP, provides real-time defense against emerging attack patterns. WAPPLES has held the #1 market share in the Korean WAF sector for 17 consecutive years.
- Cloudbric WAF+ (Accessible All-in-One Web Security): As Korea’s first Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) platform, Cloudbric WAF+ offers instant deployment via DNS redirection. It consolidates WAF, bot mitigation, DDoS protection, and more into a single, intuitive platform for businesses of all sizes.
This award demonstrates that Penta Security’s technology is not only a domestic leader but also globally recognized for its innovation. We remain committed to building a safer future, backed by trusted security performance and proven quality.
