Keysight Automated Test Solution Validates Fortinet’s SSL Deep Inspection Performance and Network Security Efficacy

By: via Business Wire

Keysight BreakingPoint QuickTest simplifies application performance and security effectiveness assessments with predefined test configurations and self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announces that Fortinet chose the Keysight BreakingPoint QuickTest network application and security test tool to validate SSL deep packet inspection performance capabilities and security efficacy of its FortiGate 700G series next-generation firewall (NGFW). BreakingPoint QuickTest is Keysight’s turn-key performance and security validation solution with self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms that quickly assess the performance and security efficacy of a variety of network infrastructures.

Keysight’s BreakingPoint QuickTest simplifies application performance and security effectiveness assessments with predefined test configurations and self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms to deliver relevant, up-to-date test scenarios with real-world applications.

Keysight’s BreakingPoint QuickTest simplifies application performance and security effectiveness assessments with predefined test configurations and self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms to deliver relevant, up-to-date test scenarios with real-world applications.

Enterprise networks and systems face a constant onslaught of cyber-attacks, including malware, vulnerabilities, and evasions. These attacks are taking a toll, as 67% of enterprises report suffering a breach in the past two years, while breach-related lawsuits have risen 500% in the last four years.

Fortinet developed the FortiGate 700G series NGFW to help protect enterprise edge and distributed enterprise networks from these ever-increasing cybersecurity threats, while continuing to process legitimate customer-driven traffic that is vital to their core business. The FortiGate 700G is powered by Fortinet’s proprietary Network Processor 7 (NP7), Security Processor 5 (SP5) ASIC, and FortiOS, Fortinet’s unified operating system. Requiring an application and security test solution that delivers real-world network traffic performance, relevant and reliable security assessment, repeatable results, and fast time-to-insight, Fortinet turned to Keysight’s BreakingPoint QuickTest network applications and security test tool.

Using BreakingPoint QuickTest, Fortinet validated the network performance and cybersecurity capabilities of the FortiGate 700G NGFW using:

  • Simplified Test Setup and Execution: Pre-defined performance and security assessment suites, along with easy, click-to-configure network configuration, allow users to set up complex tests in minutes.
  • Reduced Test Durations: Self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms accelerate the test process and shorten the overall time-to-insight.
  • Scalable HTTP and HTTPS Traffic Generation: Supports all RFC 9411 tests used by NetSecOPEN, an industry consortium that develops open standards for network security testing. This includes the 7.7 HTTPS throughput test, allowing Fortinet to quickly assess that the FortiGate 700G NGFW’s SSL Deep Inspection engine can support up to 14 Gbps of inspected HTTPS traffic.
  • NetSecOPEN Security Efficacy Tests: BreakingPoint QuickTest supports the full suite of NetSecOPEN security efficacy tests, including malware, vulnerabilities, and evasions. This ensures the FortiGate 700G capabilities are validated with relevant, repeatable, and widely accepted industry standard test methodologies and content.
  • Robust Reporting and Real-time Metrics: Live test feedback and clear, actionable reports showed that the FortiGate 700G successfully blocked 3,838 of the 3,930 malware samples, 1,708 of the 1,711 CVE threats, and stopped 100% of evasions, earning a grade “A” across all security tests.

Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, Fortinet, said: “The FortiGate 700G series next-generation firewall combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning with the port density and application throughput enterprises need, delivering comprehensive threat protection at any scale. Keysight's intuitive BreakingPoint QuickTest application and security test tool made our validation process easy. It provided clear and definitive results that the FortiGate 700G series NGFW equips organizations with the performance and advanced network security capabilities required to stay ahead of current and emerging cyberthreats.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight Network Test and Security Solutions, said: “The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving, so enterprises must be vigilant in adapting their network defenses, while also continuing to meet their business objectives. Keysight's network application and security test solutions help alleviate the pressure these demands place on network equipment manufacturers by providing an easy-to-use package with pre-defined performance and security tests, innovative goal-seeking algorithms, and continuously updated benchmarking content, ensuring solutions meet rigorous industry requirements.”
