Next-gen firewalls: Off to a good start When we tested four next-gen firewalls strictly on performance, we found that the products could forward packets at impressive rates, but throughput dropped when advanced security features were turned on. We now dive deep into application identification and control - the defining features of next-gen firewalls - to find out what works and what doesn't. Read More SonicWall stands tall in SSL decryption testing If one of the main advantages of a next-generation firewall is application and protocol identification and control, then SSL decryption is a basic requirement. We looked at the SSL decryption capabilities of the next-generation firewalls to see how well they would be able to discover applications, protocols, and URLs hidden within encrypted connections. Read More Next-gen firewalls require external visibility tools Knowing what's happening on your network is a pre-requisite to controlling the traffic. We call that visibility because it combines all of the information the firewall knows, including session and application information, traffic volumes, and rate information, into a way to "see" into your network -- to give you visibility. Read More Palo Alto next-gen firewall stacks up well Palo Alto Networks has bet everything on being a next-generation firewall. Without the next-generation hook, Palo Alto has little chance at breaking into the established world of firewalls, and they've done a good job at defining the category on their own terms.

It's the foundation of workload automation, really — the ability to run application and business processes as one. Siloed job schedulers can't do it. BMC Control-M can. Learn More! Basic firewall functionality: Check Point's maturity shows through Enterprise firewalls must have policies to control traffic, ability to create site-to-site VPNs using standards-based IPsec, translate addresses and port numbers (NAT) when needed, and apply basic bandwidth management to traffic. They must also support features such as high availability (active/passive or active/active), virtual LANs, Ethernet link aggregation, and global management systems. Read More Fortinet has highest catch rate in IPS testing We tested the intrusion prevention capabilities of each of the next-generation firewalls to determine how well they work and how the IPS integrates with system management.

Learn More Microsoft blames and bans Chinese security partner for leaking Windows exploit Microsoft issued critical patch MS12-020 to fix the Windows' Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) vulnerability last month as it was spotted on a Chinese hacker forum and was being exploited in the wild. The kicker is that the exploit code was leaked from one of Microsoft's security partners in the Microsoft Active Protection Program (MAPP). Read More Now Yahoo Declares Patent War On Open Source Yahoo's decision to recapture its lost profit potential by asserting its rights under its patent portfolio has already drawn a lot of criticism in tech circles. Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson has declared war on Facebook and others claiming "they own the web" by virtue of their large portfolio of patents. But now it seems they are going to claim patent rights over open source technologies as well. Read...
