iPolicy Networks, inventor of the Intrusion Prevention Firewall for real-time network protection, today announced its iPolicy-6420 Intrusion Prevention Firewall appliance has been certified "Up to Spec" by The Tolly Group. Furthermore, in a head-to-head comparison, the tests showed that the iPolicy-6420 dramatically outperforms the comparably rated Fortinet FortiGate-3600 Anti-virus Firewall appliance in critical areas such as UDP frame loss, TCP/UDP connection rates and maximum concurrent TCP connections when multiple security applications are enabled. This report demonstrates that the iPolicy-6420 Intrusion Prevention Firewall is dramatically superior in making the network the first line of defense against today's external and internal security threats. In particular, the iPolicy-6420 proved able to complete very high rates of connections and TCP application (layer 7) transactions with a fully loaded network. The FortiGate-3600 completed very few new connections in a similarly loaded network and failed to complete a single TCP application transaction. The results suggest that the FortiGate-3600 itself creates a denial of service condition when there is legitimate heavy traffic.
