Today ICSA Labs (an independent division of Verizon Business) released a report based on testing results and observations taken during its 20-year history certifying security products. We mention it here because several members of this team worked with ICSA Labs to design the study, collect and analyze data (a non-trivial feat given the time span), and write the report. Although bookended by other information and recommendations, the bulk of the report hits on three main topics: how often product deficiencies occur during testing, which types occur most often, and what factors contribute to their occurrence. We hope readers will find the report helpful in their mission to protect information and useful to the decisions and deployments made in support of that mission.
