PAGO Networks Top 250 MSSP

PAGO Networks has been recognized in the 2025 MSSP Alert Top 250, earning a place among the world’s most trusted managed security service providers. The list, released by MSSP Alert on December 15th, highlights organizations that demonstrate sustained growth, operational maturity, and the ability to deliver real security outcomes at scale.


This recognition is meaningful not because of the number itself, but because of what it validates. It reflects global acknowledgment of PAGO’s execution-driven MDR model, one designed around how attacks actually unfold in live customer environments, not how they are described in theory.


MSSP Alert, operated by CyberRisk Alliance, is one of the most established authorities in the global MSSP and MDR market. Each year, it evaluates managed security providers across multiple dimensions, including business performance, service depth, customer base, and technical innovation. The Top 250 list is widely regarded as a benchmark for operational credibility in the managed security industry.


For PAGO, inclusion in the 2025 list confirms a strategic direction the company has followed for years. Modern attacks rarely begin with obvious alerts or high-confidence indicators. They move quietly, leveraging valid credentials, trusted access paths, and small gaps across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud environments. Detecting these threats requires more than tools. It requires an operating model built for early correlation, fast validation, and decisive response.


PAGO’s MDR model was designed with this reality in mind. Instead of centering on event detection alone, PAGO correlates weak signals across the full attack surface to identify early signs of compromise and intervene before impact escalates. This approach is anchored in the company’s core operating principle of Preemptive, Containment, and Proactive Response, focusing on reducing risk before incidents turn into business disruption.


A key part of this model is PAGO’s emphasis on continuous threat exposure management (CTEM). By identifying and reducing exploitable exposure before attackers act, PAGO helps customers lower real risk earlier in the attack lifecycle. Automation and AI play an important role in accelerating analysis and response, but human judgment remains central to decision-making, especially when the cost of error is high.


“This recognition is not about what tools we use, but how we operate,” said Paul Kwon, CEO of PAGO Networks. “Attack techniques are evolving globally in very similar ways, and PAGO has been continuously refining its MDR operations to respond from the earliest stages of attacker activity. Our focus has always been on protecting customers through execution, not promises.”

While PAGO is deeply rooted in Korea, the company has steadily expanded its presence across the Asia-Pacific region through partnerships and customer deployments. As threat patterns converge globally, PAGO’s MDR operating model is designed to deliver consistent outcomes regardless of geography.


Looking ahead, the pressure on security teams will only intensify. Attacks are starting earlier in the kill chain, identity remains a primary attack surface, and automation continues to compress response timelines. In this environment, effective security depends on the ability to act before incidents fully form.


Recognition in the 2025 MSSP Alert Top 250 marks an important milestone for PAGO Networks, but more importantly, it reflects the foundation for what comes next as the company continues to strengthen its execution-focused MDR operations and expand its global footprint.
