NetSecOPEN, the first industry organization focused on the creation of open, transparent network security performance testing standards, announced that Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and SonicWall are the first three security vendors to achieve certified performance results through open, standardized testing developed by NetSecOPEN and adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

"Fortinet is committed to delivering the best threat protection performance and low latency that enterprises require via our purpose-built security processor technology. We are pleased to report the certified performance of Fortinet's FortiGate 500E Next-generation Firewall, tested under real-world conditions," said John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet.

"As a Founding Member of NetSecOPEN, Palo Alto Networks is committed to transparent, real world testing to help buyers evaluate how security products will perform in their actual environment," said AJ Shipley, vice president of product management, security services at Palo Alto Networks.

"As a founding member of NetSecOPEN, we are pleased to report the certified performance of the SonicWall NSA 4650 firewall. This apples-to-apples comparison provides security buyers with validation of real-world performance and security effectiveness of next-generation firewalls when fully configured for realistic conditions."

"These first certifications establish a vital milestone on the road to performance results based on open, transparent testing standards for network security equipment that eliminate disruptive surprises and support equal, informed comparison of solutions," said Brian Monkman, executive director of NetSecOPEN. "The days of opaque, meaningless testing results with no connection to real-world usage are numbered. We are proud to experience such momentum and progress, bringing us closer to making open network security testing standards a universal reality."
