The latest tests of crucial equipment used to protect Internet-facing corporate networks show they are improving but are far
from perfect in stopping hacker attacks.
I want to complement your organization for building and supplying the industry with a benchmark for truly measuring the claims posted by vendors regarding their firewall, IDS, and IPS products. As a Managed Security Solution Provider, knowing which technologies we can trust and where the break points are is critical to our providing customers with high-quality services. We consider your reports to be so important; we now tell product vendors that we need an NSS Labs benchmark report before we will consider adding them to our growing portfolio of managed services. We openly encourage your continued perseverance in shining the light on real performance and capability.
