Published

on

Penta Security has grown and maintained its leadership position in the South Korean WAF industry, recording a year-over-year double digit revenue growth in 2022, lower than the 20% in 2021.

SAN ANTONIO, May 25, 2023 /CNW/ — Frost & Sullivan recently assessed the web application firewall (WAF) industry and, based on its findings, recognizes Penta Security Systems with the 2023 South Korean Company of the Year Award. The company deploys WAPPLES, its International Computer Security Association (ICSA) Labs-certified WAF, in public cloud environments, such as AWS and Microsoft Azure, and uses its Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) Cloudbric to support expedited cloud migration processes. Penta Security’s diverse portfolio of supported cloud environments addresses the increasing demand for cloud-based WAF solutions over the last two years. With WAPPLES supporting local cloud environments across Asia-Pacific, the company offers scalability and accessibility to its customers, differentiating it in South Korea.

Penta Security bridges local WAF market technology gaps by offering comprehensive threat protection. WAPPLES’ threat intelligence platform detects new web vulnerabilities, provides automated vulnerability updates, and allows customers to patch vulnerabilities quickly and respond to attacks instantly. Based on advanced technologies that improve threat detection efficiency, the solution instantly detects and blocks known, modified, and zero-day attack vectors that alter the application programming interface (API) and YAML data formats within incoming web traffic, differentiating Penta Security from competitors.

Ying Ting Neoh, Cybersecurity Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan, observed, “Penta Security has gained a competitive edge in the local market by staying updated and complying with the latest regulations in South Korea. Frost & Sullivan commends its WAF solutions that showcase the implementation of best practices to meet customers’ unmet needs.”

Penta Security’s WAPPLES successfully reduces false positives and achieves a 144% improved network performance, compared to the previous model after an upgrade. The company’s sandbox environment for WAPPLES fends off evolving application layer attacks, and its strategic partnerships in South Korea and worldwide provide local customers with access to advanced technologies, a world-class experience, and 24/7 support when expanding the geographic reach. Penta Security continuously fosters strong customer ties and achieves loyalty across the South Korean WAF industry, with its reputation and brand value in the region garnering solid growth across verticals in 2022.

“Penta Security has positioned itself as an industry leader in South Korea due to its steady business performance in 2022. It has continuously upheld its brand value as the South Korean WAF industry leader while fostering strong customer relationships,” added Neoh. With its strong overall performance, Penta Security earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2023 South Korean Company of the Year Award in the WAF industry.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents a Company of the Year award to the organization that demonstrates excellence, in terms of growth strategy and implementation in its field. The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies and the resulting leadership, in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.

Bossjob Partners with Top Universities to Help Graduates Kickstart Their Careers

Published

By

MANILA, Philippines, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The number of college graduates in the Philippines is projected to reach 600,000 to 700,000 by 2025, intensifying competition in an already challenging job market. Recognizing the urgent need to bridge the gap between education and employment, Bossjob is taking proactive steps to empower fresh graduates. Through strategic partnerships with top universities across the country, Bossjob hosts career talks, job fairs, and other initiatives designed to connect graduates with the right opportunities. By providing a precise and accessible job search platform, Bossjob is committed to equipping young professionals with the tools they need to launch successful careers.

Build a bridge between universities and enterprises to help talents and enterprises accurately connect

As one of the leading platforms that actively focus on the Philippines’ career development, Bossjob has been actively collaborating with top universities and government agencies to bridge the gap between education and employment. Since the beginning of the year, Bossjob has successfully organized over ten career development events, including career dialogues, job fairs, and career lectures, offering graduates comprehensive career support. By leveraging university resources, these initiatives not only provide a precise job-matching platform but also equip students with essential coaching in job search strategies, career planning, and interview skills, ensuring a seamless transition into the workforce.

At career fairs hosted by institutions like Mapúa University and the University of the Philippines, Bossjob established dedicated booths that attracted a significant number of graduates and alumni seeking career guidance. Through the platform, students and young professionals can create personalized career profiles and receive tailored job recommendations based on their skills, interests, and career aspirations—helping them take confident steps toward their professional goals.

Bossjob continues to expand its impact by actively participating in job fairs organized by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) across various municipalities, including Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Antipolo, and Pasay. These events have created valuable employment opportunities for local job seekers. As an exhibitor, Bossjob not only assists candidates in building personalized career profiles but also connects them with job opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations.

Further strengthening its commitment to career empowerment, Bossjob has launched the “Like a Boss” webinar series, featuring industry experts who provide practical job search strategies and career development insights. These free sessions equip college graduates and young professionals with essential skills, helping them stand out in a competitive job market and advance their professional journeys with confidence.

Focusing on women’s employment and promoting workplace equality and diversity

Bossjob’s initiatives go beyond providing career resources for graduates—they also champion workplace diversity and gender equality. Recognizing the challenges women face in employment, Bossjob is committed to fostering an inclusive job market that drives sustainable development in the Philippines.

According to Labor Force Statistical Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), while more Filipino women are earning university degrees, their employment rates remain lower than those of men, who continue to dominate the workforce.

In response, Bossjob marked Women’s Month in March by partnering with PESO in Pasay and Malabon to host job fairs focused on female employment. The Pasay event alone attracted over 600 job seekers, with women making up more than 60% of the attendees. Beyond offering diverse job opportunities, these events provided one-on-one career guidance, empowering women to break into traditionally male-dominated industries and advance workplace gender equality.

Bossjob CEO Anthony said, “Career development is not just about finding a job, but also an important way to achieve personal value and social progress. In the future, Bossjob will continue to provide comprehensive career support for job seekers, not only deepening cooperation with universities to provide career development support for more graduates, but also creating more equal opportunities for female job seekers and promoting sustainable development of Philippine society.”
