Symantec Network Security Intrusion Prevention Appliance Performance Evaluation

The Tolly Group evaluated Symantec Network Security 7160 against the 5 essential pillars needed to be an effective IPS solution:

* Extensive and accurate detection/prevention capabilities
* The ability to withstand common and advanced evasion techniques that are used to render the prevention system useless
* Low latency and high throughput to guarantee network availability
* Easy to deploy and include management features such as automated protection that make the security appliance simple to use
* World-class threat response capabilities to respond to the latest threats and outbreaks

Tests found that it accurately detected and blocked 100 percent of more than 500 network attacks launched against it, and properly detected all suspicious activity, security risks, and audit events it encountered. Engineers noted they were able to deploy, set up, and manage this product in a matter of minutes.
