This document outlines the comprehensive test methodology used to evaluate Enterprise Firewall (EFW) solutions for their effectiveness in securing modern corporate networks. As enterprises increasingly rely on network infrastructures, protecting these networks from cyber threats is crucial. EFWs are designed to safeguard corporate environments by enforcing security policies across network segments. The methodology evaluates EFW solutions based on their routing, access control, TLS/SSL support, threat prevention, and performance under lab and real-world conditions. These tests simulate various enterprise scenarios to help IT and security teams make informed decisions when selecting and deploying firewalls.
