WAF 2017 Comparative Report: Security Value Map

Authors: Morgan Dhanraj and Thomas Skybakmoen

Publish Date: April 11, 2017

This report uses empirical data from NSS’ individual WAF Test Reports and Comparative Reports to create NSS’ unique Security Value Map™ (SVM). The SVM illustrates the relative value of each product by mapping Security Effectiveness against Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) per Protected Connections per Second (CPS).

PRODUCTS EVALUATED:

  • Citrix NetScaler Web Application Firewall (AppFirewall) MPX 5910 v11.1.51.1006
  • F5 BIG-IP 10050S Application Security Manager (ASM) v12.1.1.0.0.184
  • Fortinet FortiWeb-3000E v5.5.5
  • Radware AppWall 1008 v7.3.4
  • Symantec Blue Coat ProxySG v6.6.5.1

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

As with all NSS Labs group tests, there was no fee for participation. In addition, the test methodology applied is in the public domain to provide transparency and to help enterprises understand the results.
