Twister5 was honored with the Business Startup Award – Innovative Service Category by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs on November 19, 2025, recognizing its innovation in cloud security, SaaS-based cybersecurity, and AI-driven defense.
Founder and Chairman Hung-Kang Chang said Twister5’s mission is to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity more accessible to SMEs, helping businesses strengthen protection despite limited IT and security resources.
Building a Comprehensive Cybersecurity Ecosystem
Twister5 serves both large enterprises and SMEs with flexible security solutions tailored to different business needs.
- Large enterprises and multinational organizations: Twister5 integrates technologies from global cybersecurity vendors including Cloudflare, Cato Networks, Palo Alto Networks, and VERSA to provide advanced network security and threat management.
- Small and medium-sized enterprises: Twister5 offers its proprietary ADAS ONE Intelligent Defense Hub, delivering WAF, DNS security, API security, DDoS protection, ZTNA, and other capabilities through a modular SaaS model.

Twister5 has also been investing heavily in AI and LLM technologies, with plans to launch next-generation cybersecurity products that make threat analysis faster and more intelligent.
Continuous learning remains a key part of the company’s culture, helping its team stay ahead in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
