NetworkWorld Award

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
