About the Partner

Founded in 2017, Pentium Network places cybersecurity at its core, helping enterprises embrace hybrid multi-cloud architectures while improving operational efficiency and infrastructure manageability. The company is certified to ISO/IEC 27001, is a registered cybersecurity service provider under Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), and won three Gold awards at the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards (session monitoring & recording, privileged access management, and cloud privileged access management). As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, PNTL’s privileged access management (PAM) product, MAVIS, is available on AWS Marketplace, supporting hybrid multi-cloud environments with one-click deployment via AWS CloudFormation.

Key Innovation Behind the Award

To address the governance challenges that emerge as enterprises adopt generative AI — data leakage, Shadow AI, and runaway token costs — Pentium Network developed CoreTrustAI, a multi-model security gateway. Through a three-layer control model — token budget quotas, Prompt DLP policy filtering, and intelligent PII detection with automatic redaction — and by activating “Sovereign AI routing” in highly sensitive scenarios to lock conversations back to private models hosted on Amazon Bedrock or Amazon EKS, CoreTrustAI helps reduce the risk of data leakage and returns data sovereignty to the enterprise. At the summit, PNTL Product Director Howard Hu delivered a session titled “Harnessing AI Innovation, Building the Security Perimeter,” sharing how enterprises can strike the right balance between letting employees use AI safely and giving IT the visibility, control, and cost accountability it needs — a message that resonated strongly with attendees.

Outlook and Next Steps with AWS

Looking ahead, Pentium Network will continue to center on “AI security,” deepening its technical collaboration with AWS, expanding the integration and co-sell of CoreTrustAI and MAVIS across Amazon Bedrock, Amazon EKS, and AWS Marketplace, and working with the local partner ecosystem to help more Taiwanese enterprises deploy generative AI in a way that is secure, controllable, and trustworthy.

Howard Hu (胡冠華), Product Director of Pentium Network, said: “We are honored to receive AWS’s ‘Technology Rising Star’ recognition. Generative AI is an engine for enterprise growth, but innovation can only go the distance when it is trustworthy, controllable, and auditable. Pentium Network will continue to put security at its core and work with AWS and local partners to help enterprises deploy AI safely.”

Robert Wang (王定愷), Managing Director of AWS Taiwan, said: “In Taiwan, AWS has worked with partners across industries to accelerate the adoption of AI applications, helping customers move to the cloud and expand globally. We are delighted to see Pentium Network deepening its work across industries and helping customers innovate and grow faster. As the Agentic AI era arrives and the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region marks its first anniversary, we look forward to collaborating even more closely with local partners to help more customers seize the pivotal opportunities of digital transformation.”

The AWS Partner Network comprises more than 140,000 partners across over 200 countries and regions, who use AWS technologies, programs, expertise, and tools to deliver solutions and services to customers. The launch of the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region last year reflects Amazon’s continued investment in infrastructure and its commitment to driving local innovation — providing lower-latency services for users in Taiwan while meeting customers’ needs for local data residency and regulatory compliance.
