(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Stonesoft Firewall/VPN solution passes rigorous testing
to meet IETF's IPsec VPN standards
Helsinki, Finland - December 23, 2011 - Network security provider Stonesoft

Consortium's (VPNC) Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) testing criteria. This
certifies that the most recent version of Stonesoft's Firewall/VPN meets the
interoperability requirements for supporting the IPsec VPN standards set forth
by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Certified IPsec VPN interoperability with rapidly growing IPv6 networking
infrastructure proves standards compliancy of Stonesoft Firewall/VPN solution

and manufacturers, the VPNC conducts rigorous testing of the IETF's IPsec VPN
standards to certify the highest levels of interoperability and performance for
today's high-performing VPN devices.
Stonesoft's ability to support IPv6 means that its solutions are highly
interoperable out of the box, and meets many of the specifications from public
and private organizations, which require support of the IPv6 standard. This
certification is another way that Stonesoft is able to reduce complexity across
today's complex network infrastructures.
"Integration and interoperability is a major challenge for today's networks. The
IPv6 certification proves again that Stonesoft's firewall/VPN devices can
deliver the highest level of protection in a way that simplifies the way
companies deploy and manage network security," said Antti Kuvaja, Director,
Product Management at Stonesoft.
In September 2011, Stonesoft's Firewall/VPN 5.3 solution passed the VPN
Consortium's (VPNC) Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) testing criteria.
The IKEv2 standard for VPN authentication and key exchange was developed to
promote interoperability and performance in the areas of security, throughput,
ease of use and remote user access.
