Stonesoft IPS demonstrates high performance in ICSA Labs testing report for network security devices
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
StoneGate IPS-1205 IPS performs strongly in two vulnerability tests
Helsinki, Finland - 5 October, 2011 - Network security provider Stonesoft today
announced that its StoneGate IPS device has performed well in a network
intrusion prevention systems (IPS) test conducted by ICSA Labs, an independent
division of Verizon. Stonesoft is one of the first vendors to participate in
ICSA Labs' new quarterly testing program for network IPS devices. The testing
is designed to help organizations better protect their networks from malicious
activity.
In ICSA Labs' new testing report, network IPS devices were tested from the
industry's top vendors against vulnerabilities less than three months old. In
both preliminary and final tests, Stonesoft's StoneGate IPS-1205 was highly
effective in protecting from attacks. It was tested against a set of recently
discovered, high-severity, remotely-exploitable vulnerabilities.
In ICSA Labs' initial test, products scored an effectiveness rating of between
59.4 percent and 78.1 percent. After being allowed to modify their products to
better protect against current security threats, final tests showed an
effectiveness rating of between 81.3 percent to 90.6 percent. Stonesoft's
StoneGate IPS-1205 performed at the highest end of the range for both tests with
a 78.1 rating for the initial test and a 90.6 rating for the final test.
"We are committed to delivering the most powerful IPS solution on the market,"
said Antti Kuvaja, Director, Product Management at Stonesoft. "Our research and
development is unconventional, yet proven. We will continue to improve the
performance of the StoneGate IPS as well as proactively uncover the threats and
vulnerabilities that affect the network security space."
