For those of you who are interested, we have launched our new IPS testing methodology which includes more extensive security coverage testing, evasion testing and performance testing than previously, as well as formalising the testing of the management capabilities, etc. The format of the test reports has been streamlined to try and make them easier to read and to relate the descriptive test directly to the methodology. This should make it easier to compare different reports/products. Biggest news is that the ENTIRE test report - including all the benchmark tables, etc. - is now available on-line for free download (no registration). The first products have now been certified and the results are available on-line at the following links: http://www.nss.co.uk/certification/ips/certips.htm http://www.nss.co.uk/certification/ips/certipsresults.htm As you will see, all of the certification programs are ongoing throughout the year now - we intend to collect a number of the results together with some analysis in a group test report every so often I hope you find the individual test reports useful - many vendors are signed up for both IPS and Multi-Gigabit IPS testing and the results will be published as the testing of each product is completed.
