New to this forum ... perhaps it's already here somewhere (I hope). There are many computer companies that routinely COMPARISON TEST the securty products: both software & hardware.

I see mention of the results of these test in computer publications: Internet & hardcopy. Is there an Internet readible version of these test-results listed anywhere?

Hi and Welcome to the Forum.

I would say that the following link would be a very good place to start for Security Software comparisons:

Firewalls:

Routers:

Hardware:

As for comparison tests on software they are always a little behind. The reason being as new software is developed the person/persons that wrote the software have to submit it for tests some do some don't. If the product is out there for people to use someone will test it on their own and comment on it at some Forum.

Hope that helps?
