PNPSECURE Leader Interview: AI & Cloud Security Innovation and Global Vision

PNPSECURE is a leading company providing secure and efficient solutions in AI and cloud environments.
In this interview, CEO Chun-Oh Park shares insights into the latest security market shifts, innovative technologies, global expansion strategies, and the company’s future vision.

This conversation highlights current security trends, industry use cases, and the technological differentiators that position PNPSECURE at the forefront of the cybersecurity industry.

1. Market Shifts and Opportunities

Q. What are the most significant changes in the security market today, and what opportunities do they bring for enterprises?

The security market is rapidly restructuring around AI, Cloud, Zero Trust, and N2FS. These changes present new opportunities for enterprises.

AI Security

• The rise of generative AI (LLM) has increased risks such as data leakage, prompt injection, and privacy violations.
• PNPSECURE is addressing these challenges through sensitive data masking, secure LLM gateways, and enhanced data governance.
• In finance, real-time anomaly detection safeguards customer data, while in manufacturing and semiconductors, protecting design and R&D assets has become critical.

Cloud Transition

• Cloud adoption is accelerating across finance, public sector, and manufacturing industries.
• Key priorities: data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and security control.
  • Finance: FSI compliance, real-time access control.
  • Public sector: Safe data integration under N2FS environments.
  • Manufacturing/Semiconductors: Secure global cloud connectivity and IP protection.
• Demand for Cloud Access Control (CAC), SaaS-based security services, and Cloud Native Security Operations (CNSO) is growing. Gartner reports that cloud security spending in finance, manufacturing, and government is increasing at 14–18% CAGR.

Zero Trust Model

• Based on NIST SP 800-207, enterprises are adopting micro-segmentation, ICA (Implicit Continuous Authentication), and passwordless access.
• Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) is gaining traction, bringing the “never trust, always verify” principle into practical operations.

N2FS (Next-Generation Network Security Framework)

• Designed to overcome the limitations of traditional network separation in public institutions.
• By applying differentiated controls based on data type (confidential, sensitive, general), N2FS balances security with operational flexibility.

PNPSECURE is pursuing a strategy that integrates AI security, cloud-optimized security, Zero Trust access control, and N2FS adaptation, expanding deployments in sensitive industries such as semiconductors, telecom, finance, cryptocurrency exchanges, and public institutions.

2. Innovative Technology Cases

Q. What recent innovations or product cases has the company introduced, and what differentiates them?

PNPSECURE has launched four core innovations aligned with AI, Cloud, Zero Trust, and N2FS paradigms.

2-1. ICA (Implicit Continuous Authentication)

• Vision AI-based facial vector analysis enables seamless, continuous user authentication.
• Prevents session hijacking at the root level.
• Adoption cases: 3 financial institutions, 2 enterprise R&D networks, 1 N2FS environment.
• Result: First domestic case delivering both business continuity and robust security.

2-2. DBSAFER WAC (Web Access Control)

• Designed for expanding use of cloud consoles, ERP, and SAP.
• Provides:
  • LLM usage control
  • Browser activity auditing
  • Passwordless login
  • Multi-hop access support
• Blocks PII/credit data leaks in financial R&D and N2FS environments while preventing generative AI misuse.

2-3. RealTime Scanner

• Non-intrusive scanning via DBSAFER gateway.
• Detects and classifies sensitive data, personal data, and credit information in real time.
• The only domestic solution meeting both compliance and data protection requirements across finance and N2FS.

2-4. DBSAFER PAM

• Passwordless system access management.
• Prevents unauthorized access from external threats or admin errors.
• Applies not only to databases but also to servers and infrastructure systems.
• Case: A major telecom operator uses DBSAFER PAM to manage over 800,000 network devices, minimizing potential breaches.

3. Future Strategy and Roadmap

Q. What are the company’s core strategies and roadmap for the next three years?

PNPSECURE will proactively address the four paradigms—AI, Cloud, Zero Trust, and N2FS—while adjusting to emerging trends.

• AI & LLM Security: Advancing ICA, LLM usage control, and data masking to minimize data leakage and prompt injection risks.
• Cloud Security: Expanding CAC and CNSO to ensure secure and efficient multi-cloud operations.
• Zero Trust: Enhancing ICA, PAM, WAC, RealTime Scanner with passwordless, RBA, and micro-segmentation technologies.
• N2FS Readiness: Extending solutions to finance and public sector for both security and business continuity.

4. Global Expansion and Vision

Q. What is PNPSECURE’s global strategy and execution plan?

PNPSECURE competes with global players like CyberArk and BeyondTrust. Knowing that sales and marketing alone cannot bridge the gap, the company focuses on technological differentiation and performance superiority.

• Technology-led Global Strategy
  • Proven leadership in ICA, WAC, RealTime Scanner, PAM under AI, Cloud, Zero Trust, and N2FS paradigms.
  • Protocol-level proxy achieves higher session throughput with the same hardware compared to competitors’ session proxy approach, reducing operating costs.
  • Provides command-level controls for SQL and SSH, unlike session logging-based competitors.
• Global Market Approach
  • Expanding overseas revenue, starting with Southeast Asia as a strategic reference.
  • Strengthening global partner networks.
  • Offering multilingual product documentation to build international customer trust.

5. Leadership Message

Q. As the company leader, how do you communicate PNPSECURE’s identity as an innovator and its global vision?

Our philosophy is simple: “We build products even experts want to use.”

Words may fade quickly, but true trust is earned through actions and results.
PNPSECURE has proven its credibility through R&D and innovation, delivering outcomes in AI, Cloud, Zero Trust, and N2FS security.

We remain agile in the face of uncertainty, while never compromising on customer-centric values.
With differentiated technological leadership, we aim to establish ourselves as a trusted global security company.

Ultimately, PNPSECURE’s leadership is built on trust demonstrated through technology and execution, driving innovation that empowers customers and society to operate securely and confidently.
