CyberRatings Test Process
CyberRatings.org provides transparency and expert guidance on
cybersecurity risks through research and independent, objective
product testing. The CyberRatings Q2 2024 Enterprise Firewall
report features a Security Value Map™ comparing Check Point, Cisco,
Forcepoint, Fortinet, Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks,
Sangfor, and Versa. CyberRatings’ strict testing environment
emulated real-world digital traffic scenarios, with a focus on both
encrypted and unencrypted data to ensure a comprehensive assessment
of each firewall’s effectiveness.
Using the CyberRatings’ Austin, Texas, facility, the
organization performed an independent test of Versa NGFW against
the Enterprise Firewall Test Methodology v2.2. The product was
subjected to thorough testing to determine how it handled TLS/SSL
1.2 and 1.3 cipher suites, how it defended against 1,509 exploits,
whether its protection could be bypassed by any of 1,569 evasions,
and whether the device would remain stable under adverse
conditions. To provide a more realistic rating based on modern
network traffic, both clear text and encrypted traffic were
measured.
“Our commitment to delivering the most reliable, effective, and
cost-efficient security products is underscored by the Recommended
ratings that Versa consistently earns as a result of the rigorous
real-world comparative testing that CyberRatings.org conducts each
year,” said Apurva Mehta, Versa Co-Founder and CTO. “Enterprises
rely on these independent test findings to make informed decisions,
and they can depend on Versa for outstanding technology and
value.”
