"This product is capable of handling a wide range of threats, including worms, viruses, spyware, P2P applications, file-based remote exploits, Trojans, DDoS and exploits of Microsoft vulnerabilities. The device performed very well throughout our testing and was easy to manage. A solid product with all the features you need. For its features, ease of use and performance we award Top Layer our Best Buy."

Innovator of the Year
|
"When selecting Innovators, we look for a road map that is based on a clear view of the future requirements that customers will face. This award is designed to help readers determine which products can deliver the most value and answer the question, if we are going to buy security products in the next 18 months, what should we be reviewing."

Network World
Group IPS Test
|
"Strong performer with one or two port pairs; good DDoS protection features and rate-based management tools were top of the pack. If high performance is the most important criterion in choosing an IPS, the Top Layer IPS 5500 is a clear leader, posting throughput and latency results more commonly seen in Ethernet switches than in IPS systems."
David Newman & Network World Lab Alliance
