Web User researchers employed two tests in measuring firewall performance. Firstthey used the Gibson Research Corporation's "Shields Up" test to check for openports and general vulnerability to external Internet threats. This is considered abaseline level of protection that all firewalls need secure against. The testersthen used Firewall Tester by Atelier Web, a software development and consultancyproprietorship that simulates internal threats that would be caused by Trojans.Specifically, this test examines how firewalls deal with ten kinds of attacks thatare launched by threats already on a consumer's computer. Based on these tworigorous testing processes, Comodo's Firewall Pro passed with the highest level ofefficiency.
According to the article by Andy Shaw, "Comodo put on an impressive performance,withstanding anything that Shields Up could throw at it and blitzing the Atelier Webtests . . . The latest version of Comodo . . . makes [a PC] extremely secure. . ."
He concluded the article by saying that "The latest version of Comodo is without adoubt the free firewall to look for."
"We are thrilled to get this kind of recognition from Web User," said MelihAbdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo. "Firewall Pro continues tooutperform its rivals in threat tests of all kind, and it's great to be recognizedfor its high quality."Other recent awards and accolades for Firewall Pro
