Overview

Enterprises face an ever-evolving set of threats & vulnerabilities. Because of this, ICSA Labs tests network IPS devices as many as four times a year. Since the role of a network IPS device is to keep up with and continually provide adequate protection from new and emerging network-borne attacks, once-and-done product testing is insufficient. ICSA Labs tests network IPS devices:

1.	Each year against the entire battery of 100s of test cases.
2.	After ICSA Labs assesses newly discovered vulnerabilities & updates the vulnerability test set.
3.	After developers incorporate fixes from prior ICSA Labs tests in shipping code.

At ICSA Labs, certified network IPS devices pass 100% of the test cases and are re-tested frequently using verified attacks mixed with legitimate background traffic to ensure certified devices maintain their certification.

Interested in being tested? Interested in joining the Network IPS Product Developers consortium? Network IPS developers should contact ICSA Labs Vendor Services Account Executive, Mike Haas via e-mail or phone at 717.790.8161.
