All, I would be careful about lambasting TP too much on this. The 'testing lab' or 'certification' industry in general can run all the way from wonderful and above board to borderline corrupt. It depends on who you're dealing with. I have had many products I've worked on certified and the quality of the testing entities varies wildly in both their testing methodologies and their respective business practices.

Before the report is even published by an un-named test lab, TippingPoint is whining about the results. I guess in the blogosphere, everyone can hear you scream... "In the next several days, a report will be published by a small third-party test house that evaluated various intrusion prevention solutions...As much as we would like to endorse the report and interspersed commentary, we are unable to do so. There are more than a few discrepancies between the report findings and what our customers have experienced, what we have found in our own testing and other third-party test results. In fact, the results are significantly different from the results we found during paid private testing with this test house a few weeks ago. We made every effort to engage with this test house and understand the gap between the report findings and the various other test findings. We even asked the test house to briefly delay the report until we could work together to reconcile the differences. The test house refused to do so. It's unfortunate this type of information has been [sic] published but we will nonetheless continue to work on behalf of our customers and engage with third-party test houses to validate and help us improve our industry leading solutions." http://tippingpointblog.com/ jms -- Joel M Snyder, 1404 East Lind Road, Tucson, AZ, 85719 Senior Partner, Opus One Phone: +1 520 324 0494 jms () Opus1 COM http://www.opus1.com/jms ----------------------------------------------------------------- Securing Your Online Data Transfer with SSL.
