PAGO Networks
South Korea-based MDR provider offering technology-agnostic detection and response across APAC. The DeepACT platform integrates with SentinelOne, Deep Instinct, and Stellar Cyber Open XDR. PAGO operates 24/7 SOCs in Korea, Philippines, and Malaysia, with a US location planned. Analysts can isolate endpoints, kill processes, and block C2 traffic in real time. Also operates South Korea's first cyber fusion center (built on Cyware) for threat intelligence sharing, and offers purple team and breach-and-attack simulation services. Over 400 customers with a claimed 99% retention rate.
Buyer fit
Good fit when
- ✓Organizations headquartered in Korea or APAC needing MDR with Korean and Southeast Asian language support
- ✓Companies already running SentinelOne or Deep Instinct who want managed detection and response layered on top
- ✓Mid-market and enterprise buyers in manufacturing, semiconductor, or chemical verticals operating in APAC
- ✓Teams that want dark web intelligence monitoring integrated into their MDR workflow
Watch out when
- ×North American or European organizations needing SOC presence in those regions (PAGO has no operational SOCs there yet)
- ×Buyers who require published detection metrics or MITRE-validated response capabilities
- ×Organizations that need English-language documentation, training materials, and primary English support
- ×SMBs needing transparent, published pricing without a custom sales process

Pricing
What costs extra
- –OT/ICS coverage (separate CyberXCenter partnership)
- –Cyber fusion center services (Cyware-based)
- –Threat intelligence sharing community
Cost caveats
- –No published pricing. Requires custom quote, so budget planning without a sales call is impossible.
- –Requires a compatible EDR platform (SentinelOne, Deep Instinct) or integration via Stellar Cyber Open XDR. Factor in EDR licensing if you don't already have one.
- –OT/ICS coverage is a separate add-on via a CyberXCenter partnership, not part of the base MDR service.
- –Most documentation, case studies, and support materials are in Korean. English-language resources are limited.

Team and access
Reputation
MSSP Alert Top 250 (2025). Gartner Peer Insights shows 5.0/5 across 50+ reviews, though most reviewers are from APAC. Great Place To Work certified 2025-2026. Very little visibility in Western cybersecurity communities.
What customers praise
- ✓Real-time threat isolation with analysts empowered to act without approval delays
- ✓Dark web intelligence via StealthMole gives visibility into exposed credentials and leaked data
- ✓Technology-agnostic: works with SentinelOne, Deep Instinct, and Stellar Cyber Open XDR
- ✓Korean and Southeast Asian language support across 8 APAC countries
Common complaints
- ×Most documentation and marketing materials are in Korean only
- ×Primarily APAC-focused. No established SOC presence in North America or Europe.
- ×No published detection metrics (MTTD/MTTR) and no MITRE evaluation participation
- ×No published pricing. Custom quotes only.
No meaningful discussion on r/msp or r/cybersecurity. PAGO Networks is effectively unknown outside Korean and APAC cybersecurity circles.
Questions to ask
- 1.
What are your per-endpoint costs, and what EDR license is included or required on top of the MDR fee?
- 2.
What is the status of the planned US SOC? For customers outside APAC, what response time can we expect during our business hours?
- 3.
What level of English-language support is available for non-Korean speaking customers, and is all documentation available in English?
- 4.
What are your measured MTTD and MTTR, and do you plan to participate in MITRE ATT&CK evaluations for managed services?
- 5.
How does the cyber fusion center threat intelligence sharing work in practice, and what data from our environment is shared with the collective defense community?
- 6.
What happens to our detection data and investigation history if we leave, and can we export it?
- 7.
What specific response actions can your analysts take on our SentinelOne (or Deep Instinct) deployment, and which require our approval?
