Colombia. Fortinet reported that two of its solutions, Fortinet NGIPS (Next Generation IPS) and FortiClient, earned the highest position in the market and the coveted "Recommended" rating following recent performance tests conducted by NSS Labs.
These tests confirm the important security, performance and value capabilities of Fortinet's solutions, as well as the company's confidence to continually test its products with third-party certifiers. Fortinet has received more certifications from research and testing labs than any other network security provider in the industry.
Fortinet Next Generation IPS – NGIPS earned the coveted "Recommended" rating, with high scores in all categories and being the solution with the best total cost of ownership (TCO) in terms of megabit per second (Mbps) protection.
Fortinet's FortiGate 1500D NGIPS solution was located in the upper right corner of the NSS Labs Security Value Map, which offers the industry's best combination of performance and value:
It blocked 99.2% of the access attempts that NSS Labs uses during the most comprehensive exploit test in the industry.
The solution obtained a 100% effectiveness rating against all evasion strategies used during the test and a 99.2% total against real-time drive-by-exploits, either initiated by the aggressor or the target.
FortiGate 1500D achieved the lowest total cost of ownership ($5 per Mbps protected), demonstrating a wide margin of value compared to other solutions available on the market.
Fortinet NGIPS leverages Fortinet's FortiASIC-powered hardware acceleration and innovative Optimum Path Processing architecture to deliver up to five times faster performance than other solutions.
This Endpoint Protection Solution from Fortinet also earned the coveted "Recommended" rating, with high scores in all categories that were analyzed.
FortiClient demonstrated 98.79% threat crashes.
He achieved a rapid response to all the threats included in the test in less than an hour.
FortiClient tackles malicious strategies by cybercriminals through its advanced virus and spyware detection engines, based on heuristics and reputation analysis, which protect companies from new and evolving threats, whether on physically connected devices, websites or peripherals, such as a USB drive.
In addition, Fortinet recently announced that FortiClient will be part of its Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) framework, integrating with FortiSandbox to quickly detect and mitigate advanced attacks that evade defenses. By integrating with FortiSandbox, FortiClient detects suspicious objects for additional inspection, thus allowing it to discover and protect against new malware and zero-day threats, while quarantining malicious files, or even an entire device, if necessary.
