Abstract
Fortinet, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to measure the effectiveness of the company’s FortiMail-100™ multi-layered E-mail security appliance at blocking
spam and virus messages.
Tolly Group engineers tested the spam detection effectiveness of the FortiMail-100 against a Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall 200. In accordance with The Tolly Group’s Fair Testing Charter, Barracuda was invited to review the test methodology, offer suggestions for its product and comment on its results.
Engineers measured the percentage of spam blocked, the number of “false positives,” “false negatives” and virus messages detected per product. Engineers also validated a number of E-mail security features and deployment flexibility. Tests were conducted in October and November 2007.
