Stonesoft is pleased to report that the StoneGate IPS outperformed several industry leading solutions, including solutions from Tipping Point, Juniper and Cisco, in the recent NSS Labs IPS test. The testing represented the industry’s most rigorous test of leading IPS solutions to date, including 1,159 validated exploits. The tests specifically focused on security effectiveness, performance and TCO.

Here are some quick highlights on StoneGate IPS results:

• Ranked in the top 3 for providing high levels of protection by default policy alone from 2004-2009
• At the 10-Gig level, the StoneGate IPS-6105 ranked #1 for 3-year TCO per Mbps
• At the multi-Gig level, the StoneGate IPS-6105 ranked #2 for TCO at only $60 per Mbps
• At the sub-Gig level, the StoneGate IPS-1060 ranked #1 for TCO at only $82 per Mbps

NSS Labs also gave us high marks for ease of manageability: "Stonesoft’s Management Center builds on its firewall management and is extremely intuitive and easy to use. Deploying Stonesoft’s pre-defined policies is simple and efficient. It took almost no time to setup, configure and tune."

The results clearly point out that organizations should re-evaluate what IPS products are leading the market. The very same companies that are perceived as market leaders are not delivering the performance and TCO that today’s companies need. It’s time to consider Stonesoft!
