While it’s clear that independent testing doesn’t always mean clear and fair results, there’s growing support around the NetSecOPEN security testing model. There is a lot at stake in the performance and security of network devices, and that is why testing has been always been carried out by independent, third-party organizations. But as we’ve all seen, […]
In a previous blog, I highlighted the merits of open standards-based assessments for today’s modern content-aware network security and inspection solutions In a previous blog, I highlighted the merits of open standards-based assessments for today’s modern content-aware network security and inspection solutions. Understanding how well solutions work under a multitude of performance vectors can guide users with […]
Read about the advantages of an organization’s preparedness to adopt and implement a ‘work from home’ protocol in the event of a pandemic. I want to preface this article by saying that I don’t like fear-mongering news titles. We live in a fairly safe and secure world, all things considered. However, this sense of security […]
