NSS Labs Next Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS) 2019
NSS Labs’ Next Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS) focuses on security effectiveness and TCO for NGIPS solutions across selected vendors tested. The Security Value Map (SVM) shows that FortiGate NGIPS achieved a cumulative blocking rate of 99.18% for FortiGate 100F and the lowest TCO at $2 per protected Mbps. Fortinet builds world-class NGIPS appliances that requires highest possible performance, best of breed security and having another “Recommended” IPS rating from NSS Labs is just another proof point.

NSS Labs NGIPS 2018 SVM and Report
NSS Labs’ NGIPS test is the most extensive IPS test, including several tests not conducted for DCIPS, such as live drive-by-exploits (100% block rate for Fortinet), exploits against web target types, application ID and evasions (also 100% block rate for Fortinet). The FortiGate 500E and FortiGate 3000D are world-class IPS appliance, achieving “Recommended” status again with an overall Exploit block rate of 99.5% for FortiGate 500E and 99.6% for FortiGate 3000D.

NSS Labs DCIPS 2018 SVM and Report
NSS Labs’ Data Center Intrusion Prevention Systems (DCIPS) focuses on data center environments, especially vulnerabilities commonly found in servers. The Security Value Map (SVM) shows that FortiGate IPS achieved the highest cumulative blocking rate at 98.73% and the lowest TCO at $3 per protected Mbps. Fortinet builds world-class IPS appliances and another “Recommended” IPS rating from NSS Labs proves this.
NSS Labs DCSG 2017 SVM and Report
NSS Labs’ DCSG test is a comprehensive Data Center Security Gateway (DCSG) test, including several tests to measure relevant security effectiveness and Intrusion Prevention (IPS) performance using live exploits including “weaponized” exploits (97.9% and 98% block rate respectively for Fortinet FortiGate 7060E and FortiGate 3000D) and resistance to evasion techniques (100% block rate for Fortinet). The FortiGate 7060E and 3000D both achieved “Recommended” status, with a leading combination of Security Effectiveness and Value per protected Megabit Per Second (Mbps) in the NSS Labs Security Value Map (SVM).
NSS Labs Breach Prevention Systems (BPS) Test 2017
NSS Labs introduced a new group test, BPS focused on detecting and blocking exploits, advanced malware, and evasions. This helps validate the advanced threat response cycle of prevent-detect-mitigate across a number of threat vectors including web, email, and endpoint. Fortinet's Security Fabric consisting of FortiSandbox, FortiGate, FortiMail, and FortiClient integrated together, earned a Recommended award by achieving a block rate of 99.6% and offering the lowest 3-year TCO
NSS Labs DCIPS 2016 SVM
NSS Labs’ Data Center Intrusion Prevention System (DCIPS) report is the industry’s most comprehensive test to date with their Security Value Map revealing that Fortinet’s FortiGate 3000D earned the highest ratings for Security Effectiveness, blocking 99.9 percent of exploits, and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) per protected Mbps (Megabit per second).
NSS Labs 2015 Next Generation IPS Test
In 2015, NSS Labs conducted a group test of next generation IPS solutions to assess their abilities to identify both the applications and the users on their internal networks, protect the enterprise user against threats/exploits, and catch sophisticated attacks while producing as few false positives as possible. Demonstrating 99% effectiveness and superior value, Fortinet FortiGate earned the NSS Labs Recommendation.
