Check Point has patented Stateful Inspection technology way back in 1993. Their products have matured over the years. They undoubtly have the largest market share.
During the last few years, there are plenty of vendors that step up to the plate selling firewalls and VPNs. Almost all of them claim that they have similar technology toward Stateful Inspection.
We get calls from these vendors / or from our customers all the time. However, I have doubts about some of the vendor's security implementation. How would I know if it were just packet filtering technology? (Some of them were selling hubs last year!). Yet I do NOT have a good way to evaulate the truthfulness about stateful inspection.
Any suggestions?
