Comprehensive Competitive Firewall Testing

In less than a week, BreakingPoint will conduct a comprehensive competitive bake-off of any firewall or IPS/IDS, as well as other network security and data center devices. Using a custom mix of stateful application and attack traffic that mirrors your own conditions, we will capture precise measurements of the performance, security, and stability, or resiliency, of each firewall/IPS. Finally, we will deliver a detailed report of our findings to answer questions such as:

• When a performance range is exceeded, which characteristics degrade first?
• How do different IPS devices perform under normal and high-stress conditions?
• Which Unified Threat Management (UTM) device provides the most cost-effective solution for my business?
• Can these devices support the number of connections needed now and in the future?

BreakingPoint Firewall/IPS Evaluations can be conducted as a one-time project, providing the advance insight you need to make more informed infrastructure investments. Or our yearly subscription service includes ongoing Device Evaluations to ensure that your equipment remains resilient over time.
