| McAfee M-8000 SUM 2009: Gold |
|
Executive Summary The McAfee M-8000 achieved its first NSS Labs Gold Award for Q2 and Q3, 2009. It was also the first 10 Gbps IPS product to pass our rigorous certification process in January 2009, and it maintained two months of high achievements on our SUM testing (April and May). The M-8000 ably identified and blocked 100% of the 222 live attacks in our April 2009 test suite, and 100% of the 228 attacks in May. Even the more difficult client-initiated attacks, which generally pose greater challenges for vendors, were thwarted. Using the same policy and signatures, the M-8000 was able to maintain throughput of 10Gbps in our real-world performance testing. Thus, we are pleased to award NSS Labs Gold for Q2 and Q3, 2009 to the McAfee M-8000.
