August 2012 by Marc Jacob

Check Point announced that it has earned NSS Labs’ “Recommended” rating in the latest intrusion prevention (IPS) group test. The Check Point IPS Software Blade excelled in the industry’s most comprehensive test to date, achieving a high score of 98.3% in overall protection, with superior server and client protection and strong management capabilities.

“Resistance to known evasion techniques was perfect, achieving 100% across the board in all related tests. Not only were the fragmented and obfuscated attacks blocked successfully, but all of them were also decoded accurately,” said Bob Walder, NSS Labs Director of Research. "Additionally, it is clear Check Point put a lot of thought into its central management system."

NSS Labs, a leader in independent security product testing and research, is known to conduct the most comprehensive and rigorous IPS third-party testing in the industry, providing real-world research and analysis to enterprises, government agencies, and organizations of all sizes.

The Check Point IPS Software Blade was tested against 1,486 live exploits, across a wide variety of traffic, payload sizes, and protocols.
