About the 'Bright E-Commerce Award'

The Bright E-Commerce Award recognizes innovative organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to building trustworthy electronic commerce (e-commerce) environments and advancing sustainable digital societies. The award is hosted by the International Center for Electronic Commerce Research (ICEC).

A selection committee composed of renowned professors from institutions such as KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) and Carnegie Mellon University conducted a comprehensive evaluation based on five criteria: 'Originality,' 'Technical Capability,' 'Innovation,' 'Customer Experience,' and 'Social Value.'

Penta Security’s Achievement: High Praise for PCI DSS Compliance

Penta Security was honored for its advanced technological capabilities covering all aspects of e-commerce security, including web, data, and authentication. In particular, its compliance with 'PCI DSS (v4.0.1),' the international security standard set by the credit card industry, was highly commended. PCI DSS is an internationally recognized framework designed to protect payment data and ensure transaction security, serving as a mandatory benchmark for e-commerce businesses offering international payments or credit card integration services.

Among security vendors that develop and deliver solutions using proprietary technologies, Penta Security is one of the first web application security service providers to achieve full compliance with this standard. By adopting Penta Security’s certified products and services, e-commerce operators can reduce the scope of their security assessments (scope reduction), thereby lowering the costs and operational resources required for QSA audits.

Leveraging our proven technological leadership aligned with global standards, Penta Security will continue to contribute to building reliable security infrastructure that enables businesses and consumers worldwide to conduct transactions with confidence.'
