Before the report is even published by an un-named test lab,
TippingPoint is whining about the results. I guess in the blogosphere,
everyone can hear you scream...
"In the next several days, a report will be published by a small
third-party test house that evaluated various intrusion prevention
solutions...As much as we would like to endorse the report and
interspersed commentary, we are unable to do so. There are more than a
few discrepancies between the report findings and what our customers
have experienced, what we have found in our own testing and other
third-party test results. In fact, the results are significantly
different from the results we found during paid private testing with
this test house a few weeks ago. We made every effort to engage with
this test house and understand the gap between the report findings and
the various other test findings. We even asked the test house to briefly
delay the report until we could work together to reconcile the
differences. The test house refused to do so. It's unfortunate this type
of information has been [sic] published but we will nonetheless continue
to work on behalf of our customers and engage with third-party test
houses to validate and help us improve our industry leading solutions."
