be included in the reports at no charge, and the reports will be freely
distributed. The first reports are scheduled to begin appearing in the
second quarter of 2008.
"With our rigorous testing methodologies, we are in a unique position to
scientifically validate security effectiveness, functionality, and
performance, and we welcome industry practitioners, IT implementers, and
product manufacturers' research contributions for these independent
reports," said Christian Stankevitz, CTO of NSS Labs. "The reports will
include quantitative results from unbiased independent product testing,
along with critical insight into implementation requirements and evolving
technology trends to address those requirements."
