SENSTONE Wins 4th Cyber Security Breakthrough Award

swIDch, the global headquarters of Senstone, a leader in the authentication security sector, has once again proven its innovative technology by achieving the remarkable feat of being selected as the 'Overall IoT Security Solution of the Year' for 2025 at the 'CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards'. This marks swIDch's fourth cumulative award and has served to solidify Senstone's unrivaled technological leadership at this prestigious awards ceremony. The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, which annually highlights global security technology innovations, is celebrating its 11th edition this year. swIDch has consistently been recognized for its excellence, having previously won 'Authentication Solution of the Year' in 2020, 'Fraud Prevention Solution Company of the Year' in 2021, and 'Transaction Security Solution of the Year' in 2022. In particular, its selection as the 'Overall IoT Security Solution of the Year' for 2025 clearly demonstrates the expansion of its technological scope and influence across the entire IoT landscape. The core of this award is Senstone's globally patented technology, OTAC (One-Time Authentication Code). OTAC technology provides a dynamic token method that can securely authenticate users and devices even in one-way communication environments, fundamentally blocking critical vulnerabilities of existing network-dependent or fixed-value based authentications. The true value of this technology lies in 'proactive' security. Unlike traditional monitoring systems that detect hacking attempts after the fact, OTAC has been praised for leading powerful security innovation extended to industrial OT endpoints by inherently blocking unauthorized intrusion attempts from the very first access stage. Yoo Chang-hoon, CEO of Senstone, stated, "Being recognized once again for our technology and originality at the globally renowned CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is a very meaningful achievement." He emphasized, "Senstone will lead the way in building safer and more reliable OT systems by providing preventive systems that proactively block unauthorized commands before they reach OT devices in industrial sites worldwide, extending from IoT to industrial OT." This demonstrates Senstone's firm commitment to contributing to actual industrial security enhancement beyond mere technology development. In addition to this award, Senstone solidified its technological leadership in the OT sector earlier this year when swIDch was selected as a 'Promising PLC Security Company' at the Global Infosec Awards held in San Francisco, USA. Furthermore, by successfully expanding the application of OTAC technology in major industrial sites at home and abroad, such as promoting a project to strengthen water facility OT security in cooperation with Korea Water Resources Corporation, Senstone is leading the future security market. Senstone is expected to contribute to creating greater social value beyond the safety of IoT and OT environments with its innovative proactive security technology.
