5.4 Firewall vendors: Picking the products that are right for you
ICSA conducts certification tests on firewalls to determine if they meet their Firewall Product Certification criteria. If a firewall product successfully completes the testing, it is posted on their web site.
ICSA tests firewall products on the following: required services security policy; logging; administration; functional testing; security tests; and documentation.
ICSA periodically retests the certified firewall products to make sure that the firewall vendor has continued to develop a secure product that meets their Firewall Product Certification criteria.
The following firewall vendors and their products have met ICSA's Firewall Product Certification criteria.
