Paul Kwon, CEO of PAGO Networks, “AI-based MDR platform ‘DeepACT’ expands beyond domestic markets”

Establishing itself as a trusted MDR platform company in domestic and international markets providing tailored security solutions optimized for the needs of organizations from SMEs to large Enterprises

PAGO Networks (CEO: Paul Kwon), a leading company in the domestic and international MDR (Managed Detection and Response) market, has unveiled its 2025 security strategy and key solutions. Centered around its AI-powered MDR platform, "DeepACT," PAGO Networks provides integrated security services, including 24/7 real-time security monitoring, proactive threat detection, and policy optimization. By leveraging its global security operations center and the threat insight database (PAGO TIDB), the company enhances its clients' security capabilities through information sharing and advanced threat response.


In 2025, PAGO Networks aims to drive security innovation by integrating AI and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) technologies while focusing on expanding its global market. The company plans to provide localized services in the ASEAN region and deliver customized security solutions to meet the specific needs of enterprises. Additionally, it will increase R&D investments to counter the growing sophistication of cyber threats, such as ransomware, supply chain attacks, and AI-driven threats, by strengthening its proactive defense systems.


PAGO Networks, a Trusted Leader in the MDR Industry


PAGO Networks has firmly established itself as a trusted company in the domestic and international MDR industry. The company provides integrated and innovative security services to protect clients' digital assets, leveraging advanced AI-based technology and a team of global security experts to support stable business operations in an increasingly complex cyber threat environment.


CEO Paul Kwon stated, "Through our proprietary MDR platform, 'DeepACT,' we offer a wide range of security services, including threat mitigation, policy optimization, emergency threat response, and on-demand threat analysis. We also provide advanced features such as threat hunting, targeted breach detection and response, attack surface management, security validation, and dark web monitoring, creating a more secure digital environment."


'PAGO DeepACT' – 24/7 Real-Time Response with Precision Threat Detection


PAGO Networks’ flagship solution, "PAGO DeepACT," will introduce even more powerful features in 2025. CEO Kwon elaborated, "Our global security operations centers in Seoul and Kuala Lumpur monitor IT, OT, and cloud environments around the clock, providing real-time responses. Using AI-driven machine learning, we can detect and preemptively block sophisticated threats, such as zero-day attacks. The platform’s ability to integrate various security tools into a single interface also maximizes management efficiency."


He further emphasized, "DeepACT stands out with its threat insight database (TIDB) and community feature, allowing clients to share security information in real time. We are committed to delivering optimized, tailored security solutions for organizations of all sizes, from SMEs to large enterprises."


Focus on Global MDR Platform Market Expansion in 2025


A key goal for PAGO Networks in 2025 is expanding its presence in the global market. CEO Kwon stated, "Our strategy is to offer localized services in the Asia-Pacific region while expanding our global customer base. Additionally, we will increase R&D investment to continuously enhance our MDR platform with AI and XDR technologies, proactively responding to the latest threat trends."


“AI-Powered Attacks to Become Even More Sophisticated in 2025”


As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and diverse, organizations must prepare for emerging risks. CEO Kwon warned, "AI-driven attacks are expected to become even more advanced in 2025, with cybercriminals using AI to evade detection and conduct highly targeted phishing and social engineering attacks. Ransomware attacks are also evolving, incorporating double extortion tactics that combine data encryption with data exfiltration, posing a significant threat to businesses."


He added, "Supply chain attacks are emerging as a major security risk, and vulnerabilities in cloud environments remain a critical concern. The use of generative AI for deception technology is also gaining traction as a new security strategy, necessitating proactive countermeasures."


“MDR and XDR Must Be Actively Utilized – Collaboration Between Internal and External Security Experts Is Key”


Finally, CEO Kwon advised security leaders and professionals, "Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue; it requires collaboration across the entire organization. Regular security training is essential to ensure that all employees understand and follow the latest security policies and trends. Organizations should also actively adopt MDR and XDR solutions to strengthen their threat detection and response capabilities. Establishing a comprehensive security strategy through collaboration between internal security teams and external experts is crucial."


He concluded, "As a trusted security partner, PAGO Networks is committed to safeguarding organizations’ digital environments. We invite security professionals to join us at the ISDP (Information Security Data Privacy) event on February 11, hosted by Dailysecu, where we will share insights into cyber threat response strategies and introduce our latest security innovations."
