Fortinet Uses Automated Security Validation to Verify SSL Deep Inspection Performance

Case Studies

Fortinet provides cybersecurity solutions for enterprises, service providers, and government organizations worldwide. As encrypted traffic continues to grow, Fortinet needed to validate that its FortiGate 700G series next-generation firewall could inspect Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) traffic while maintaining the performance and protection levels enterprise networks require.

 

Fortinet used Keysight BreakingPoint QuickTest to validate network performance and cybersecurity capabilities for the FortiGate 700G series next-generation firewall. BreakingPoint QuickTest is a performance and security validation solution that uses self-stabilizing, goal-seeking algorithms to assess the performance and security efficacy of network infrastructures.

 

The automated test approach provided pre-defined performance and security assessment suites, scalable Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) traffic generation, and NetSecOPEN security efficacy tests.
