This report uses empirical data from NSS’ individual BDS Test Reports and Comparative Reports to create NSS’ unique Security Value Map™ (SVM). The SVM illustrates the relative value of each product by mapping Security Effectiveness against Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per Protected Mbps.

The following products were evaluated:

  • Check Point Software Technologies 15600 Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlastTM (NGTX) Appliance R77.30
  • Cisco FirePower 8120 v.6 & Cisco AMP v.5.1.9.10430?
  • FireEye Network Security NX 10450 v7.9.2 & EX 8400 v7.9.0?
  • FireEye Network Security 6500NXES-VA v7.9.2
  • Fortinet FortiSandbox-2000E v.FSA 2.4.1 & FortiClient (APT Agent) v.5.6.0.1075?
  • Lastline Enterprise v7.25?
  • Trend Micro Deep Discovery Inspector Model 4000 v3.8 SP5 & OfficeScan (OSCE) v.12.0.1807

As with all NSS Labs group tests, there was no fee for participation. In addition, the test methodology applied is in the public domain to provide transparency and to help enterprises understand the results.
