Test methodologies published today.
AUSTIN,
Texas, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
CyberRatings.org, the non-profit entity dedicated to providing
transparency on cybersecurity product efficacy, will begin testing
Enterprise Firewalls and Data Center Firewalls this fall with group
test scores and ratings to be released in 2023. Test methodologies
have been published at CyberRatings.org and are provided at no
charge.
We welcome feedback from the community
about which firewalls should be tested.
CyberRatings invites all leading vendors to submit their
offerings to be tested for free. Products with significant market
share, as well as challengers with innovative technologies, will be
included at CyberRatings' discretion. The scope of the
methodologies includes security effectiveness, performance,
stability and reliability, and total cost of ownership.
Enterprise Firewalls (also known as Next Generation Firewalls)
are one of the largest and most mature markets in the industry,
projected to grow 10% year over year. A firewall is the first line
of defense that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic. Its
purpose is to protect the network by allowing or blocking
data packets based on a set of security rules. Without a
firewall, networks and data can be vulnerable to thousands of
attacks.
"While Cloud Firewalls and SASE are new categories that garner a
lot of attention, the Enterprise Firewall market is vast, and while
mature, is still growing. Most firewalls remain at the enterprise
perimeter or data center," said Vikram
Phatak, CEO of CyberRatings.org. "Our test methodologies are
designed to address the challenges faced by enterprise security and
IT professionals in selecting and managing security products. We
welcome feedback from the community about which firewalls should be
tested."
CyberRatings.org test reports are primarily reserved for members
with a paid subscription. In observance of Cybersecurity Awareness
Month and courtesy of Keysight CyPerf, CyberRatings.org is making
its recent Cloud Network Firewall test reports for Fortinet,
Forcepoint and Juniper Networks available for free. Additional
products are currently being tested with ratings and a comparative
report to be published in the coming weeks.
