StoneGate IPS Attains ICSA Labs Certification Across All Models
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Helsinki, Finland - 10 December 2010 - today announced that the entire StoneGate
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) suite of appliances has successfully attained
ICSA Labs Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Certification.
"We are pleased to announce that our StoneGate IPS products have passed the
demanding tests of ICSA Labs," said Antti Kuvaja, Director of Product Management
at Stonesoft. "Stonesoft is one of just a few companies to have attained and
retained this certification since initially receiving it on one of our models in
2007. By successfully completing testing against the standard, our customers are
assured that each of our network IPS appliances protects against attacks and
evasion techniques aimed at high-severity enterprise-relevant vulnerabilities."
ICSA Labs network IPS testing follows a rigorous and repeatable testing process,
requiring that all tested products pass every test case. At ICSA Labs, network
IPS devices are tested annually against hundreds of test cases that map back to
more than 50 criteria requirements. Network IPS devices are also tested to
confirm that any security fixes identified in earlier testing are incorporated
into the final product that goes to customers. Lastly, network IPS products are
tested again when critical security vulnerabilities arise that merit an out-of-
cycle test.
"With new remotely exploitable vulnerabilities emerging all the time, it is
imperative that network IPS technologies keep pace, providing enterprise end
users with appropriate coverage protection," said Jack Walsh, Network IPS
Program Manager, ICSA Labs. "Because new vulnerabilities are continually being
reported, network IPS testing must be more than an infrequent occurrence. The
same is true of firewall testing. In both cases, testing must be performed
frequently and employ an evolving methodology - as is our protocol here at ICSA
Labs."
The most recently tested StoneGate appliances - the IPS-1030 and IPS-6000 -
remain continuously deployed in the ICSA Labs network IPS testing laboratory.
This affords ICSA Labs the ability to test the network IPS devices whenever
relevant vulnerabilities, attacks and evasions emerge.
StoneGate IPS is an essential part of the StoneGate product family, which also
includes the StoneGate Management Center (SMC), Firewall/VPN and SSL VPN. The
StoneGate product family provides the full benefits of a centralized management
system including shared logging, reporting and auditing in physical as well as
virtual environments.
