MILPITAS, Calif. — February 20, 2020 — SonicWall announces it is one of the first security vendors to receive firewall certification in the 2020 NetSecOPEN Test Report.

Designed to be one of the industry’s most comprehensive and rigorous benchmark tests, the NetSecOPEN standard evaluated the SonicWall NSa 4650 next-generation firewall (NGFW), delivering results to help guide product purchasing decisions made by security professionals. The NSa 4650 was tested under realistic, real-world conditions against 465 combined public and private Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) vulnerabilities.

“There has been a long-standing industry need for transparent and comparable findings when it comes to firewalls, a technology that is heavily depended upon and is at the core of an organization’s security posture,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. “Decision-makers need to think effectively and quickly when deciding upon a security vendor and dependable research is key in a selection process that has become increasingly difficult to navigate.”

The SonicWall NSa 4650 firewall achieved 100% security effectiveness against all private CVEs used in the test (CVEs unknown to NGFW vendors, and was rated 99% when factoring in the results of the public CVE test. Measured by NetSecOPEN at 3.5 Gbps of threat protection and up to 1.95 Gbps SSL decryption and inspection throughput, the SonicWall NSa 4650 proved its fast performance meets the demands of data centers.
