Fortinet bags “Recommended” rating from NSS Labs

Fortinet has announced its FortiSandbox-3000D is one of the top rated Breach Detection Systems (BDS), based on real-world comparative analysis conducted by third-party NSS Labs.
Leveraging sophisticated research and test infrastructure that collects real threats and attack methods for concurrent delivery to the systems under test (SUT), NSS Labs utilized empirical data from its first ever Breach Detection Systems Group Test to produce a Security Value Map (SVM).  The SVM measures the security effectiveness and value (cost per protected Mbps) of tested product configurations. Fortinet’s FortiSandbox-3000D is one of the top performing systems out of six network security vendors.

According to the NSS Labs’ benchmark results, Fortinet’s FortiSandbox-3000D passed 100 per cent of the tests that gauged the reliability and stability of the device. In addition, NSS analysis found the FortiSandbox-3000D to have a 99-per cent threat detection rate in a real-world testing environment that included more than 1,800 live exploits and malware samples. Both threat detection and reliability and stability scores were factored into a metric that led to a 99-per cent rating in overall security effectiveness.

NSS Labs tests also confirmed the FortiSandbox-3000D as a high-performance BDS solution, with the majority of detections happening in three minutes or less.

When FortiSandbox is used in conjunction with a FortiGate NGFW and FortiGuard, Fortinet’s Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) solution provides Access Control, Threat Prevention, Behavioural Analysis, Continuous and Monitoring to provide the best protection against targeted attacks.
