ZIENZIEN, a specialist in IoT security, has announced the upcoming March launch of its AI-powered Zero Trust IoT security platform, ‘Z-Sentinel,’ as part of its strategy to penetrate the IoT security market.
This platform is a security solution that automatically identifies IoT devices without requiring separate agent installation and detects network vulnerabilities and anomalous behavior in real time through AI-based analysis. Featuring an intuitive, integrated dashboard, it enables companies to monitor all IoT assets and security threats in real time, offering faster threat response compared to traditional security solutions.
Z-Sentinel ensures visibility based on Zero Trust principles, detecting potential threats by identifying and managing IoT devices in real time through traffic analysis and protocol interpretation. Using AI, it learns normal communication patterns, immediately blocks abnormal traffic, and alerts administrators. It secures asset visibility, including unauthorized devices, while automatically detecting security risks such as unapplied patches or weak encryption and providing improvement recommendations.
Additionally, through integrated IoT security operations, the intuitive dashboard allows administrators to systematically manage assets, security statuses, and vulnerability histories. Automated monitoring and vulnerability management reduce labor costs and response times, efficiently managing operational expenses.
Another advantage is its agentless deployment. It can be quickly implemented without agent installation, enabling comprehensive management of various IoT devices at a glance.
As IoT device hacking incidents continue to occur, awareness of IoT security is growing. Notable cases include the hacking of apartment complex keypads, exposing residents’ privacy and raising significant public concern. Last year, a Chinese-made robotic vacuum cleaner was hacked, prompting the Ministry of Science and ICT to demonstrate how IoT device breaches could lead to user data leaks.
Despite this, organizations with limited security resources often struggle to manually check each device’s activation status or errors. ZIEN’s Z-Sentinel is particularly effective for public institutions and manufacturers heavily reliant on IoT devices, as it automatically identifies and detects connected devices, significantly reducing security gaps.
As an XIoT security convergence company, ZIEN provides cutting-edge security solutions to preemptively address various IoT security threats. Leveraging its specialized expertise and technological capabilities, ZIEN helps establish stable and robust environments for IoT-connected devices. Last year, during an ICT parliamentary audit, ZIEN demonstrated Chinese IoT device hacking scenarios, showcasing the entire hacking process. Recently, it received acclaim from Pwn2Own organizers for reporting vulnerabilities in vehicle infotainment systems.
ZIEN will showcase Z-Sentinel at the World Security Expo and the e-Government Information Security Solution Expo (SECON & eGISEC 2025). Held from March 19 to 21 at the KINTEX exhibition center, ZIEN will be located at Booth V005. On the final day of the event, CEO Youngmin Cho will deliver a conference presentation titled “IoT Security Innovation: Device Identification and Anomaly Detection.”
ZIEN CEO Youngmin Cho stated, “Z-Sentinel is a solution that helps organizations like public institutions and manufacturers with limited security personnel easily manage security. We aim to strengthen our competitiveness in the IoT security market and accelerate the platform’s adoption among key customers.”
