swIDch, the UK headquarters of authentication security specialist Senstone, announced on the 29th that it was selected as a Hot Company in PLC Security at the 'Global InfoSec Awards 2025' held in San Francisco, USA.
This award is recognized as a result of SensenStone's technological contribution and market potential in resolving security vulnerabilities in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and OT (Operational Technology) systems of major infrastructure.
The Global InfoSec Awards is an annual awards ceremony that selects excellent companies based on innovation and potential in the information security field, and is announced during the RSA Conference, the largest event in the cybersecurity industry. The winning companies are selected through evaluation by a panel of judges consisting of Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP), security professionals from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Certified Hackers (CEH) holders.
Senstone has implemented a structure that can block unauthorized access in a one-way communication environment without a separate certificate or password through OT certification security solutions 'PLC OTAC' and 'OTAC Trusted Access Gateway (TAG)'. It has been recognized for its technical practicality and expandability as it can be applied to various OT environments without changing the existing infrastructure.
“SensTone is a company that has presented a solution to future security threats with a differentiated approach from existing security methods,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, chairman of the judging panel. “It is fully qualified to receive this award as it combines innovation and feasibility.”
With this award, Senstone is expanding its collaboration with global PLC manufacturers, and recently introduced the 'OTAC TAG' technology that can implement an endpoint authentication security system without relying on manufacturers. It is known that the technology has already completed field tests with multiple organizations and is being deployed in industrial sites.
“Through this award, we have been able to enhance our technological competitiveness in the strengthening European NIS2 directive compliance market,” said Yoo Chang-hoon, CEO of Sensenstone. “We will continue to expand our presence in the global industrial security market with solutions that can meet the ‘identification and authentication’ requirements of IEC 62443.”
