News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ:FTNT), a global
leader in broad, integrated and automated cybersecurity solutions,
today announced its results from NSS Labs’ annual Next-Generation
Firewall (NGFW) Group Test. In this year’s test, Fortinet’s
FortiGate 500E Next-Generation Firewall, achieved 99.31 percent
overall security effectiveness and low total cost of ownership. NSS
Labs continues to evolve the NGFW test methodology to meet the most
demanding customer requirements. This is the fifth consecutive year
Fortinet received a “Recommended” rating, proving FortiGate has the
right combination of security, performance and value to handle
today’s most demanding workloads.
- High SSL Inspection Performance: Fortinet’s
FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall delivered high SSL inspection
performance with minimal performance degradation and showed
efficacy across all 32 cipher suites and emergent ciphers tested by
NSS Labs. Combined, Fortinet delivers a highly effective SSL-ready
cloud access NGFW, and we stand by our solutions by transparently
publishing SSL inspection performance numbers.
- Unparalleled Protection Against Evasive
Threats: FortiGate blocked 100 percent of evasions and
once again excelled at preventing known and unknown threats with an
overall security effectiveness rating of 99.3 percent.
- NGFW Price/Performance (Total Cost of
Ownership): Fortinet excelled in price/performance for
NGFW among all 10 participating vendors. In fact, the FortiGate
500E was rated by NSS at 6,753 Mbps, which is higher than our own
rating of 5,200 Mbps.
- Broad Coverage of Enterprise Deployments:
Fortinet has been recommended in eight different NSS Labs group
tests in the last year ranging from network security, end-point,
breach detection and web application firewall.
The Top NGFW Choice for Secure SD-WAN and
CloudWith the adoption of Cloud and SaaS applications, SSL
(encrypted) traffic has risen significantly. In fact, NSS Labs
predicts that around 75 percent of total enterprise traffic will be
encrypted by 2019. To successfully compete in today’s marketplace,
organizations can’t afford to compromise business performance for
security. That’s why it’s essential that organizations select a
next-generation firewall solution that combines high SSL inspection
performance with high accuracy. The results from the 2018 NSS Labs
NGFW Group Test prove that Fortinet delivers the right combination
of SSL inspection performance and accuracy in detecting both known
and unknown threats, providing a modern solution that keeps up with
the pace of any cloud deployment. In addition, Fortinet delivers a
future-proof use case for the enterprise branch that combines NGFW
security and SD-WAN together, enabling SSL inspection at the branch
for direct internet access to SaaS applications.
In addition, this year’s NSS Labs NGFW Group Test shows that
Fortinet delivers one of the highest overall security performance
and low total cost of ownership of all participating vendors,
further solidifying the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall as a
compelling balance of security, performance and value.
