[2025 CEO New Year Interview] Jaehyoung Lee, CEO of OCTATCO: “Leading Security Innovation with Zero Trust Authentication”

• Expanding into Government, Healthcare, and IT Sectors while accelerating global market entry

OCTATCO (CEO: Jaehyoung Lee), a company specializing in Zero Trust security, is the only enterprise in Korea that offers both a multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution and fingerprint security keys. It is committed to strengthening enterprise security through its secure authentication technology. OCTATCO’s phishing-resistant MFA solution and EzFinger FIDO fingerprint security keys effectively block unauthorized access and phishing attacks through biometric-based multi-factor verification. In 2025, the company plans to enhance security even further by introducing M2A (Multi-Attribute Authentication) technology, which verifies a broader range of attributes such as user ID, biometric data, domain, web sessions, and device information.

In 2024, OCTATCO provided phishing-resistant MFA solutions to major financial institutions such as Woori Bank, SBI Savings Bank, and Jeonbuk Bank, helping them comply with regulatory requirements and strengthen internal controls. It also supplied fingerprint security keys to Samsung Electronics to enhance company-wide login security. In 2025, the company aims to expand into government, healthcare, and IT sectors, while also accelerating its entry into global markets. CEO Jaehyoung Lee stated, “Through continuous technological innovation, we aim to position ourselves as a leader in the authentication market and provide our customers with safer, more convenient, and tailored security systems.”
