Vendor

WINS is a South Korean network security manufacturer, listed on KOSDAQ, and one of the country's principal suppliers of intrusion prevention and denial-of-service defence. Its equipment sits in carrier and large enterprise networks, where high-throughput traffic inspection rather than endpoint protection is the requirement. Its products carry the SNIPER name: SNIPER IPS for intrusion prevention, SNIPER DDX for DDoS mitigation, SNIPER NGFW as its next-generation firewall and SNIPER ONE as the integrated platform above them, with network detection and response and threat analysis products alongside. Its market is domestic and carrier-scale. Products of this type are evaluated through procurement benchmarks and Korean certification rather than the consumer malware test cycles that populate much of this index. Vendor page →
