(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Rigorous testing confirms excellent stability, reliability, protection and
performance
Helsinki, Finland - 1 August 2012 - NSS Labs has confirmed that the Stonesoft
IPS-1302 provides 100 % protection against all tested evasion techniques and low
total cost of ownership (TCO) during real-world traffic and threat scenarios. In
NSS Labs' 2012 Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Test, Stonesoft also
demonstrated excellent stability and reliability. Stonesoft is a global provider
of proven, innovative network security solutions, including IPS, Firewall/VPN,
SSL VPN and remote cloud access.
According to NSS Labs' recent product analysis, the Stonesoft IPS protected
against 96.6 percent of all exploits at a high level of throughput - all at a
$26 price per protected Mbps. Additionally, the Stonesoft IPS performed strongly
in the three-year TCO analysis.
NSS Labs' tests also praised Stonesoft for its ease of use, especially when
handling the complexities of enterprise-class network security. Vikram Phatak,
CEO at NSS Labs comments: "The Stonesoft Management Center has been designed
from the ground up as a flexible and powerful large enterprise or service
provider management system. Administrator access is via extremely granular role-
based mechanisms. Policy management and deployment is straightforward and
extremely flexible, with grouping and inheritance providing the ability to
deploy complex policies across multiple devices with ease."
"There's a difference between claiming protection and performance and doing it
in a real-world environment. The NSS Labs findings show that the Stonesoft IPS
is actually doing it. We're providing the highest level of protection and
performance while tackling the complexities of enterprise networks head-on",
comments Tomi Kononow, IPS Product Manager at Stonesoft.
