Pilsang selected as a "Scale-up Tip" by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups

Pilsang Co., Ltd. (CEO Kang Pilsang), the operator of the AI-based real-time phishing blocking service "Ssakdajab-a," announced on the 30th that it had been selected for the "Scale-up TIPS" program hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. Following last year's "Deep Tech TIPS," this marks the second consecutive year the company has been selected for the government's technology startup support program, demonstrating its technological prowess and growth potential.

Scaleup Tips is a program that supports the rapid growth of promising startups with technological prowess and marketability. Along with DeepTech Tips, it is a representative government technology startup support program. Pilsang is the first company in Korea to be selected for both programs, demonstrating both technological prowess and business viability.

Through this project, Pilsang plans to focus on ▲improving the accuracy of its AI-based phishing detection agent and ▲advancing its integrated phishing analysis and response system for enterprises. With up to 1.2 billion won in R&D funding over the next three years, the company will pursue the development of autonomous AI security technology capable of responding to evolving phishing techniques.

Meanwhile, Pilsang was recently selected as the best company for its real-time phishing URL detection solution at the '2025 Samsung Finance C-Lab Outside', and is currently pursuing collaborations with Samsung Securities, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, and Samsung Card.

CEO Kang Pil-sang said, “It is very meaningful as the first case to be selected for both Deep Tech Tips and Scale-up Tips,” and added, “We plan to actively enter the U.S. and Japanese markets next year with the goal of global standardization of AI-based phishing security technology.”
