Stonesoft Receives Fourth Consecutive NSS Labs "Recommend" Status
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Solid results in NSS Labs tests
manifest the strength of Stonesoft Security Engine platform
Helsinki, Finland -15 April 2013 - The Stonesoft 3202 appliance has received the
"recommend" status in the latest Next Generation Firewall test by the world's
leading independent network security research and analyst organization NSS Labs.
The latest 'recommend' status is already the fourth in a row, demonstrating
Stonesoft Security Engine platform's solid track record. Stonesoft is the only
European security vendor who has reached the "recommend" status in NSS Labs'
2012 and 2013 Next Generation Firewall as well as the latest Intrusion
Prevention System and Network Firewall Group Tests.
The 2013 Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Comparative Analysis Report evaluated
nine leading NGFW products for security effectiveness, performance, enterprise
management capabilities, and total cost of ownership. It is the second group
test for NGFW conducted by NSS Labs. The first test was conducted in 2012.
The NSS engineers found the Stonesoft Management Center interface to be very
solid, and intuitive, and were pleased with the broad operating system support.
In the false positive testing where the products were tested with clean traffic,
"the Stonesoft 3202 showed excellent capacity for correctly identifying traffic
and did not fire IPS alerts on non-malicious content".
The NSS Labs test report also points out that "Stonesoft is one of a very
limited number of NGFW vendors that fully normalizes data before inspection.
This allows the device to decode accurately the malicious traffic, ensure
minimal or zero triggering of false positives during evasion handling and, more
importantly, to handle effectively all variations of common evasion techniques".
All of Stonesoft's appliances that have received the 'recommend' status in NSS
group tests are equipped with Stonesoft's ground breaking single software code
based transformable Security Engine platform that is capable of multiple cyber
security product roles, including FW/VPN, IPS and UTM.
"I am proud that we have reached the "recommend" status now already for the
fourth time in a row. This proves the strength of our transformable Security
Engine platform - regardless of the chosen product role; it provides our
customers with comprehensive, uncompromised network security. We demonstrated
solid performance throughout all categories of the NSS Labs Group Test and in
addition were positioned a clear leader in the overall enterprise management
score, among others", says Antti Kuvaja, Director, Product Management,
Stonesoft.
