Webinar: Is Your Firewall Leaking?

April 21, 2011

Join Vikram Phatak, Chief Technology Officer, Rick Moy, President and CEO of NSS Labs, and Tod Beardsley, Metasploit Hacker and author of The TCP Split Handshake: Practical Effects on Modern Network Equipment, to learn about the performance of six leading firewalls in our latest Network Firewall Group Test.

In a report that should be a wake-up call to CISOs everywhere, we uncovered serious flaws in these products, despite the maturity of the market and their certification by two other major certification bodies. Over the past 25 years, firewalls have become the foundation of perimeter security and are considered to be commodity products. However, our test results point towards the need for a much higher level of continuous testing of network firewalls to ensure they are delivering appropriate and reliable security.

View this webinar to find out if your firewall is leaking and what to do about it as we discuss the issues discovered in testing, including that half of the vendors failed stability tests and that most vendors failed to correctly handle the TCP Split Handshake spoof.
