Some of the most expensive cloud network firewall vendors are among the worst performers against exploits and evasions, according to the most comprehensive, independent testing CyberRatings.org has conducted to date.<\/p>\n<p>Cisco, by far the most expensive cloud network firewall offering across the top 10 vendors on price per megabits per second, ranked seventh with an overall security effectiveness score of 53.5%, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberratings.org\/reports\/cloud-network-firewall\/\">CyberRatings.org research<\/a> released Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>The trio of big cloud providers \u2014 Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform \u2014 fared even worse, each landing at the bottom of the pack with a 0% security effectiveness score. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been told to use cloud-native technologies, that they\u2019re better suited than using bolt-ons. Well, that\u2019s clearly not the case here,\u201d CyberRatings.org CEO Vikram Phatak told CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAny of the third-party firewalls you pick are going to be better at protecting you than what you have today with the AWS firewall, but also frankly Azure and GCP today as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fortinet and Check Point earned the highest rating of 100%, followed by Versa Networks, Palo Alto Networks and Juniper Networks \u2014 each landing in the upper end of the 99th percentile, according to CyberRatings.org\u2019s tests. Forcepoint\u2019s security effectiveness score was 96.6%.<\/p>\n<p>CyberRatings.org tested cloud network firewalls against more than 2,000 widely exploited vulnerabilities. The nonprofit, which paid for the tests and research in Q1 2025 without any vendor involvement, then applied 2,500 attacks spanning 27 evasion techniques across multiple network layers to bypass firewall defenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what I consider to be the equivalent of an open-book test. It\u2019s not super hard stuff,\u201d Phatak said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to know what a buyer, purchaser of the technology can count on in an adversarial situation where things are not always going their way,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is not a Category 5 hurricane, and it\u2019s also not a sunny day on the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>CyberRatings.org\u2019s tests showed wide disparities in cloud network firewalls\u2019 ability to defend against publicly available exploits. Protecting organizations against exploits is the first line of defense, a core selling point and purpose of firewalls. <\/p>\n<p>AWS performed the worst on this front, blocking only 0.59% of exploits. The big problem for AWS is that its signature set for exploits is mismatched, Phatak said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you put all your eggs in the AWS basket, you\u2019re going to end up regretting it from a cybersecurity perspective at least,\u201d Phatak said. <\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the bottom of the field, Microsoft Azure blocked 55.28%, Cisco blocked 90.68%, GCP blocked 96.6% and Forecepoint blocked 97.63% of exploits. Fortinet and Check Point blocked all of the exploits CyberRatings.org threw at their cloud network firewalls. Versa Networks, Juniper Networks and Palo Alto Networks each scored in the high 99th percentile on exploit prevention.<\/p>\n<p>The overall results and rankings diverged further when CyberRatings.org measured cloud network firewalls\u2019 performance against evasions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cisco, AWS, GCP and Microsoft Azure each failed to defend against evasion tactics between layer 3 and layer 7, network traffic originating from IP addresses and the content of application data.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the 0% security effectiveness score applied to AWS and GCP was due to the ease with which CyberRatings.org bypassed their firewalls with evasions. Both vendors earned a 0% score in preventing evasions.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft performed better than its cloud counterparts on evasions, scoring 78%. Yet, Microsoft\u2019s \u201cbig issue is that if anything comes across encrypted with HTTPS, they\u2019re blind. [It\u2019s] the only firewall that doesn\u2019t have HTTPS decryption built in,\u201d Phatak said.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s lack of transport layer security (TLS) and secure sockets layer (SSL) support resulted in its overall 0% security effectiveness score, according to CyberRatings.org\u2019s benchmarks. Cisco prevented 59% of CyberRatings.org\u2019s evasion tests.<\/p>\n<p>Forcepoint blocked 99% of evasions while Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper Networks and Versa Networks all blocked 100%, according to CyberRatings.org\u2019s tests.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>CyberRatings.org explained its testing framework, including why and the extent to which it deducted points from firewall vendors\u2019 score across all categories tested. In many cases, it was the combination of exploit and evasion prevention tests, and other factors unique to specific factors that resulted in low security effectiveness scores.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of AWS, its firewall didn\u2019t block any live attacks, so CyberRatings.org couldn\u2019t test it against evasions. With Microsoft\u2019s firewall, CyberRatings.org evaded defenses by encrypting traffic or targeting a web server that\u2019s encrypted.<\/p>\n<p>Phatak directed his harshest criticism at AWS, which has consistently performed poorly in CyberRatings.org exploit prevention tests. \u201cAmazon\u2019s lack of improvement was shocking to us,\u201d he said. \u201cIt just says that it\u2019s not taking this seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.3232044198895\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/independent-tests-show-why-orgs-should-use-third-party-cloud-security-services-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
