Validate Security Device Performance
Measure the performance of various security devices under repeatable simulation scenarios
Making smart purchase decisions and mitigating deployment risks requires buyers to put vendor claims to the test in the form of a product bakeoff. Unfortunately, evaluating security devices prior to purchase and deployment is not always straightforward. To get meaningful results, buyers must conduct direct comparisons with consistent data sets. However, the traffic used to test both functionality and performance must be realistic. It needs to be a mix of stateful blended application traffic at line-rate speed combined with live security strikes. This is especially important when it comes to firewall, anti-virus, IPS and other security devices.
This in-depth guide shows you how one of the BreakingPoint CTM™ products leverages pseudo-random number generation (PRNG) to provide a realistic set of traffic for direct product comparisons.
