On April 15, KISA announced that, in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and ICT, it is recruiting companies to participate in the 'Information Security Product Performance Evaluation Consulting Support' program until May 7. The information security product performance evaluation is a system that assesses whether security functions are implemented, and evaluates security and network processing performance and efficiency. This system has been in place since 2018 to verify the performance levels of domestic products and to enhance the technological competitiveness of companies.

KISA offers free product consulting and performance evaluation every year, enabling domestic information security companies to participate in the performance evaluation system and improve product quality without cost burden. Last year, companies that received consulting support experienced an 80.4% improvement in threat detection performance and a 16.7% improvement in network processing performance in the information security product performance evaluation.

This year, KISA plans to select eight products from 17 categories of information security products, including the newly added harmful site blocking systems, as targets for support. Products that pass the performance evaluation will receive the KISA certification mark, which serves as proof of quality, and, depending on the product type criteria, may also qualify for introduction in national and public institutions.

Ahn Inhoe, Head of the AI Security Industry Division at KISA, said, "We expect that domestic information security companies will be able to take their product performance to the next level and secure competitiveness in both public and private markets," adding, "We will continue to expand support to improve the quality of information security products and to vitalize the industry."
