Traditional testing of firewalls using static modes and simply pushing HTTP traffic at the device is simply not suitable, nor safe. Today's firewalls are content-aware and managing a complex mix of security attacks and application protocols. (http://www.breakingpointsystems.com/products)Firewall testing methodologies must be updated to include realistic device configuration, stateful application traffic, live security strikes, differing network configurations and more.

All registrants will be provided with BreakingPoint's detailed firewall test methodology after the webcast. Register at http://budurl.com/firewalltesting.
