Help Net Security
NetSecOPEN revealed that 11 security vendors, test solutions and services vendors, and testing laboratories have joined the organization as founding members. The organization also appointed its board of directors, who will guide NetSecOPEN toward its goal: making open network security testing standards a reality. The NetSecOPEN standard is designed to provide metrics that can be used to compare solutions and to understand the impact on network performance of different solutions under the same conditions. The goal is to examine the performance ramifications of a solution with all of that solutionâs security features enabled, conveying the true costs of the solution. The 11 founding member organizations are: Check Point Software Technologies, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, SonicWall, Sophos, and WatchGuard; test solution and services vendors Spirent and Ixia/Keysight; and testing labs European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) and the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL).
