DCSG 2018 Comparative Report: Security Value Map

Authors: Thomas Skybakmoen, Keith Bormann, Ryan Turner, Matt Chips and Matt Wheeler

Publish Date: October 31, 2018

Empirical data from individual Test Reports and Comparative Reports is used to create NSS Labs’ unique Security Value Map™ (SVM). The SVM illustrates the relative value of security investment by mapping the Security Effectiveness and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per Protected Mbps (Value) of tested product configurations.

The following products were evaluated:

  • Fortinet FortiGate 3200D v5.4.10 GA Build 7811
  • Fortinet FortiGate 6300F v5.4.10 GA Build 4283
  • Palo Alto Networks PA-5250 PAN-OS 8.1.2

To learn how each vendor performed, download individual Test Reports. NSS clients can also download the Comparative Reports on Security, Performance, and Total Cost of Ownership.
