Firewall Testing Methodology
A methodology to measure the resiliency of firewalls under real-world network conditions
Is your firewall providing the protection it promises? Is it resilient in the face of attack or high stress load? Does the performance degrad significantly every time a new feature is activated?
Today's firewalls have become a critical component of any cyber defense measure, providing protection against a variety of attacks, while also allowing appropriate traffic into the network. It is crucial to understand that vendor-supplied data sheet specifications often reflect “best case” scenarios that do not mirror real-world performance. Relying on these promises without testing the firewall with live attacks and your own unique application traffic exposes your organization to risk.
Firewall Testing Methodology
BreakingPoint has recreated the firewall test methodology to enable you to measure the resiliency of any enterprise firewall and understand how it will perform when deployed. The BreakingPoint CTM™ products use the most recent vulnerabilities, stateful application mixes, accurate load, a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) and more to ensure the measurement of the firewall is realistic, repeatable and deterministic.
