In November 2025, AV-Comparatives conducted an NGFW Egress C2 Test to evaluate the effectiveness of NGFW products in detecting and preventing malicious traffic. Certification reports are published only for vendors who achieved the certification (i.e. where malicious traffic was blocked). Non-certified vendors received feedback in order to improve their product.
