To provide customers with the tools and knowledge needed to test and validate network security in their labs, Ixia has announced a partnership with NSS Labs. In combination with Ixia's security solutions, the new NSS Test Packs provide enterprises and equipment manufacturers the ability to find network security issues and failures in their own labs prior to deployment, saving time and costs. “The core competencies of Ixia’s security solutions coupled with our testing know-how, provides a level of assurance for companies looking to manage risk against a backdrop where threats are constantly evolving. By partnering with Ixia, our testing expertise and procedures can now be implemented by a wider range of businesses to ensure their investments are ready to go to market at a much lower cost,” said Vikram Phatak, CEO, NSS Labs. "When conducting security testing, organizations need a foolproof methodology to spend time and money efficiently without compromising the performance of the test implementation. Ixia’s partnership with NSS Labs extends our security test capabilities to allow enterprises to test in their environment. These test packs enable a broader set of potential customers to incorporate continuous testing into their processes and better ensure the resiliency of their networks," said Fred Kost, Vice-President of Security Solutions Marketing, Ixia. Network security test cycles, in pre-deployment enterprise networks and in equipment manufacturer R&D, are critical to ensuring the resiliency of enterprise networks and the corresponding networking equipment. However, the traditional test cycles can be lengthy and expensive. Using Ixia’s security solutions along with the NSS Test Packs, enterprises and equipment manufacturers now have a streamlined way to benefit from the gold standard of testing to evaluate and test products for performance, resiliency and efficacy.
