2024 Q1 Cloud Network Firewall Comparative Report

CyberRatings.org (CyberRatings) performed an independent test of eleven market leading Cloud Network Firewall vendors.The Cloud Network Firewall products were tested to determine how they handled TLS/SSL (authentication) 1.2 and 1.3 cipher suites (algorithms), how they defended against 984 exploits (attacks that take advantage of a software flaw or install malware), and whether any of 1,645 evasions could bypass protection. At all times the devices needed to remain stable under adverse conditions. To provide a more realistic rating based on modern network traffic, both clear text (HTTP) and encrypted traffic (HTTPS) were measured. Amazon Web Services (AWS) was the public cloud service chosen to run the test. Six products were Recommended, one product received a Neutral rating, and four received a Caution rating.
